First Olympus 12mm f/2.0 lens Unboxing video


It’s not a review but let’s give some free space to our “emotional” part of the brain :) Here is the first [shoplink 23576]Olympus 12mm f/2.0[/shoplink] video! The lens is in Stock Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here), B&H (Click here) and [shoplink 23576 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. Feel free to send me your first image samples and videos if you already managed it to get the lens!

P.S.: A Black E-P3 with 17mm lens is in Stock at Amazon (Click here). And a third party reseller is trying to sell the first Silver E-P3 for $1,799.00 on Amazon (Click here).

E-P3 in Stock at Amazon US and J&R. New studio comparison at Dpreview.

Dpreview posted the Olympus PEN E-P3 studio raw comparison files. But what’s even more important is that unlike Panasonic Olympus is very fast in delivering the new products! The E-P3 is now in Stock for the very first time at Amazon (Click here) and J&R (Click here). And the new top Olympus 12mm lens is also in Stock at Adorama (Click here), BHphoto (Click here) and Amazon (Click here).

One thing I noticed is that usually Panasonic stuff is first in Stock in Asia, than in Europe and than in US while Olympus stuff is first in Stock in Asia, than in US and than in Europe. So it looks like Olympus preference is for the US market instead for the European market.

UPDATE: E-P3 will be in UK by August 31. 12mm Oly lens now in Stock at Adorama.
