Kipon announced the release of two new “Speed Booster” adapters for EOS and M42 lenses. The adapters cost 20,000 YEN (150 Euro). They have a focal length reduction of 0,7x which means a 50mm FF lens will become a 70mm lens on the MFT camera using the adapter. These adapters will be soon for sale on [shoplink 55931 ebay]eBay (search link here)[/shoplink].

E-M10II review by CameraLabs

E-M10II

CameraLabs posted the full E-M10II review and writes:

Don’t get me wrong, the EM10 II is not without its weaknesses. The movie mode may be much improved over its predecessor, but remains comfortably below what Panasonic offers on the similarly-priced Lumix G7. The continuous autofocus also struggles to track faster subjects, so if sport and action photography are your thing, you’ll find models like Sony’s Alpha A6000 far superior. I also feel that when it comes to ultimate image quality in this bracket, Fujifilm’s XT10 pips all these models to the post, albeit with controls and handling that’s better-suited to enthusiasts.
But for general day-to-day photography, the Olympus OMD EM10 Mark II is hard to beat. It’s an attractive camera that’s enjoyable to use and delivers great results in most situations with ease, while offering plenty of room to grow. As such it’s an easy camera to Highly Recommend.

(FT5) Olympus will reinvent the PEN line!

olympus_micro_four_third-camera-mock-up-190908

You may remember that picture of the first Olympus PEN mockup. It was shown seven years ago at Photokina 2008. And on June 16 2009 Olympus announced the first real digital PEN camera, the [shoplink 55942 ebay]E-P1[/shoplink].
After an initial success the PEN line has been somewhat overshadowed by the OMD cameras. I have been told by my trusted sources that PEN sales are fallen way behind their sales goals. So you wonder what’s coming next? This is what I got from two trusted sources:

They said Olympus is going to reinvent the PEN line and add more features and tech innovations to them!

I hope to get some more concrete news about it soon. All I know is that the very new PEN line is coming in 2016.
