A good news: Adorama is honoring the $99 Panasonic 25mm lens deal!

ado-order

Adorama is honoring the orders placed last November for the Panasonic 25mm f/1.7 lens at the sale price of $99. A readers sent me that screenshot as a proof of shipment (Thanks!). That’s good news for those of you who waited that long to get the lens!

UPDATE: BHphoto added a note saying that they ahd to cancel preorders because “Panasonic USA is not shipping this lens to USA distributors”. So how and why Adorama can do it is unclear.

Olympus manager Toshiyuki Terada interviewed

Focus Numerique (google translation here) posted the interview with Olympus manager Toshiyuki Terada. As usual a couple of highlights:

  1. Why no large sensor fixed lens compact?
    We have limited human resources and we have to set priorities. And the reduction in the size ultimately would not be so important and above all, we need to differentiate ourselves from the competition and is where it’s tricky.
  2. About 4K:
    For now, the 4K is not indispensable and we have to find interesting features around the 4K before implanting.
  3. What is the most impressive or most outstanding technology?
    I was really impressed with the choice of Sony released a 24×36 sensor with 12MP only! Stabilization is also, for me, an important step. We introduced the 5-axis stabilization system and it is important in many areas: for slow speeds for telephoto zoom lenses and even video.
  4. Olympus main focus:
    If I had to summarize the position of Olympus, is to keep the quality of the optics while trying to provide maximum portability.
  5. High Resolution mode:
    “One of our wishes and to use the HR mode (High Resolution) freehand. It would be really interesting.
