Chris: “celebration of 5 years of micro four thirds. Okay, it’s s a shameless plug for my blog. http://www.chrispattison.co.uk/a-bakers-dozen-13-images-taken-with-13-micro-four-thirds-cameras/”

David: “I have penned what will likely be my last blog/review of Oly gear for a while. The 12~40/2.8 PRO zoom gets magnificent reviews. I bought one and over-all, the
reviews are warranted. But the lens suffers from significant “Moustache” distortion. I have a review of the problem, and it’s cure, along with my other six Olympus reviews, at: http://www.FURnFEATHER.net/Reviews/ReviewIndex.html”

Eric: “This isn’t a rumor — but I’ve posted a couple of reviews lately on my blog that 4/3 Rumors readers should find interesting. A comparison of wide-zoom lenses:

What a huge surprise! The brand new and world’s first “cheap” 4K mirrorless system Panasonic GH4 camera is now in Stock and shipping at [shoplink 45715 ebay]Samys on eBay (Click here to grab one!)[/shoplink]. As far as I know this is the worldwide first shipment of the camera and I am surprised USA got the Stock before the Japanese stores! Only a limited quantity is in Stock. And it’s not a bogus claim. They sent me a picture to prove it:

Nocticron is the best Micro Four Thirds lens ever tested by DxOmark!

DxO (Click here) just published the full Nocticron 42,5mm f/1.2 lens test. It will surprise no one here that it became the best MFT lens ever tested by DxO. But the margin to the Olympus 75mm and 45mm lenses isn’t high and the price difference on the opposite is considerable. DxO writes:

Although this is a bold step for Panasonic, the price is a going to be a stumbling block for the majority, particularly as it has to sway users away from the diminutive and accessibly priced Olympus 45mm f1.8.
That model is both discrete and a very good performer, although it’s someway behind in build and in outright optical quality. Looking at the line-up as a whole it’s uncomfortably close to 45mm and the longer 75mm f1.8, yet there seems little doubt it will tempt enthusiasts looking for an edge in performance and to the advantages of returning to an aperture ring.

Expensive? Yes. But if you want the best lens this is the way to go!

You can buy the lens at Amazon US (Click here), Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here). In UK at Wexphotographic (Click here). In Germany at Redcoon (Click here), Technikdirekt (Click here).
