Our readers sent us to good news. First, as you see from the screenshot on top Adorama is now shipping the Panasonic-Leica 25mm f/1.4 lens. Hurray! Here you have more preorder links: [shopcountry 23110].

And another reader wrote: “Just wanted to let you know that the M.Zuiko 45mm F1.8 has started shipment here in the U.S. through BH Photo. I got my shipment notification today, but I also had made my pre-order when it was first announced so I don’t know how long the new order wait is. :)” Here you have more preorder links: [shopcountry 23577].

Let’s start with the good news first. The must-have 20mm f/1.7 pancake lens got another price drop and is now in Stock for $342 only at Amazon (Click here). And the most featured of all Panasonic camera, the GH2, is now in Stock for $1389 via third party resellers on Amazon (Click here).

And now the bad news. The three biggest US stores still have no single Leica 25mm in Stock: Nor Amazon nor Adorama nor B&H.

For the first time I found the new Pana-Leica 25mm f/1.4 lens to be in Stock in USA stores at UniquePhoto (Click here).

The polish dealer “Infoto” sold six NEW(!) Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95 lenses for 599 on [shoplink 25568 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. Sadly they sold all lenses within a couple of minutes! But as I told you the price of the Nokton is falling and expect more such deals soon! BY the way Infoto is a well know and trusted store that is also selling the new Samyang lenses: The [shoplink 25569 ebay]7.5mm fisheye (Click here)[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 25570 ebay]Four Thirds 35mm f/1.4 lens (Click here)[/shoplink].

Reminder: A full review of the Nokton is available at Photozone.

As you know Panasonic officially stated that the next two camera to be announced will be the PRO GF and the GH3. I got some rumors about the GH3 from unknown sources but still almost nothing from trusted sources (a part the global shutter rumor). While waiting to get my first more reliable news about the GH3 our reader noticed that there is a big price drop in USA on the current GH2! The GH2 body price felt down to $809 at Panasonic store (Click here).

I ask my unknown and first time rumor sender to be patient. I always try to double check rumors to avoid bigger mistakes. If I will not get any answer from my trusted sources I might post the rumor with a low credibility ranking. Thanks!
