It’s the first time in nine years I see this. Image samples of the rare Rayxar 50mm f/0.75 super fast lens shot on the Olympus E-PL5 have been posted by Anadrasi on his [shoplink 56547 ebay]eBay auction page (Click here to see the images)[/shoplink].
That lens is massive and absolutely sexy on the E-PL5. But I am not sure you can get anything in focus at full aperture!

Focus Numerique interviewed Haruo Ogawa from Olympus. And here are just some of the key info he spilled out:
More Megapixels? For most of our clients 16MP is sufficient. But in certain situations, this is not enough.
The issue with Full Frame: With a 24×36 sensor, the optics are still very impressive and heavy enough. We believe that at Olympus housings must be compact, but the optic must also be more consistency.
New lenses: We will focus on very bright optical lenses.
What needs to be improved with the EVF: We have to go below 6 milliseconds for the human eye can not be bothered. If we can improve the response time, then the electronic viewfinder will be better than the optical viewfinder.
Autofocus: In the near future, we will further improve this hybrid (AF) system.
4K: In the near future, we will try to have a camera with a video mode 4K.
I am particularly excited to learn more about the fast primes!

Our reader Redmosquite spotted an interesting video interview with Panasonic Sweden. It says:
“Panasonic 100-400mm info from Swedish photo fair, comes in late february, priced at 22-23000 SEK which in Sweden is about the same price as the GX8 + 12-35mm kit. another reference is the Panasonic Lecia Nocticron which cost 15000 SEK in Sweden, so It will be really expensive. “
Considering the [shoplink 56494 ebay]Nocticron price is around $1,600[/shoplink] it means the lens will cost around $2,500.
