Photozone posted the tull Lumix 30mm f/2.8 macro lens review:

Technically there’s nothing to complain about the Panasonic lens. It’s sharp, small and affordable. However, if macro photography is really your thing, it probably makes more sense to check out the Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 ED macro. The Olympus lens isn’t superior but it can provide a longer working distance to your main subject. Even if you are not hunting bugs, it makes life a lot easier as far as scene lighting is concerned.

(FT3) E-M1 Mark II will be announced on the 19th of September?

A source told me the E-M1 Mark II will be announced on the 19th of September. I am awaiting confirmations from my trusted long time sources to eventually make this rumors “FT5” :)

–

Reminder: This is a short summary of the Olympus E-M1II spec list we got so far from our sources:

Now uncertain: Sony 20MP sensor or sensor designed by Olympus and produced by Sony?
4K video (first Olympus camera with 4K)
Dual SD card slot
Handheld High Resolution mode
Much improved autofocus performance
new high-resolution EVF
Announcement at Photokina in September
It has no global shutter. But Olympus worked hard to reduce rolling shutter to a negligible level

P.S.: For french readers. OpenPN speculates about the possible new E-M1II features…
