Image on top shows the current [shoplink 58866 ebay]Panasonic-Leica 25mm f/1.4 lens[/shoplink]

Next week Panasonic will announce a new entry level G camera and a new lens. Two sources confirmed the new lens will be a 12mm Leica. They did not share any info on the aperture of the lens.

Also Olympus has an announcement soon: New action camera and E-Pl8 are coming for sure. I still don’t know if they will show a 25mm f/1.2 PRO Zuiko prototype on the very same day. The lens will ship this Summer.

SLR Magic 2x Anamorphic Zoom
from Jurek Ugarow on Vimeo.

Jurek (video above): “A short video using the SLR Magic 2x Anamorphot adapter on the Panasonic 35-100mm G X Vario f/2.8, half recorded internally with V-Log L, half with the Natural profile. The last clip is out of focus (do not adjust your TV….) The lad and I were goofing around playing at camera men when he suddenly jumped up and looked into the camera, a little to closely. I kept the footage because a) it’s funny, b) wanted to check skin tones, and c) wanted to check the facial geometry post de-squeeze. The lens/adapter/combination isn’t perfect, nor does it have “cine” functionality, but there is still a lot to like about it as a sub $2k, 2x anamorphic optic. I like the modern clean look, and having multiple focal lengths on a single optic is very attractive. The +0.3 diopter was used on the small Buddha clip to focus under 2.5 feet. A couple of zoom where manual, the rest done in post (which is which should be quite obvious).
