“jieying-usa” is a well known eBay reseller that modifies lenses so that they can fit on Micro Four Thirds camera without the use of adapters. And his latest creation is the modified [shoplink 20259 ebay]Kowa 77mm f/1.0 lens[/shoplink]. This is the description: “This lens is 77mm f/1.1~f/11 , was manufactory in Japan by Kowa. Lens rework on Panasonic Lumix G1 GF1 GH1 or Olympus E-P1 E-P2. After rework image little large than 77mm, Lens focusing from 5ft to infinity. (scale will not correctly you must use screen or viewfinder focusing). Glass looks mint, no fungus and no scratch. It is specially for Portrait use with full open aperture, image will be soft, when you step down after F/2.8 will get sharper, but when you use small aperture, corner image looks blur. I think buy this lens is to use large opening soft effect, smaller aperture doesn’t make any sense. Including a tripod mount, you may take it off if you feel not easy to carry on. (camera body for display only, not included)”

I found a few image samples at Flickr (Click here). Let us know if you find more images!

Panasonic can’t satisfy the demand for GH2 cameras in the US market. After 6 months of wait there is still some dude that wants to take profit from your frustration. So it happens that the the worlds biggest online store sells one single used GH2 for $2,300.00 (Click here to check it at Amazon)!!! Time for us Europeans to start selling our GH2 cameras for $2.000 to our US friend. We could become rich ;)

For US readers and E-PL2 owners. the Penpal module is finally in Stock at Amazon (Click here).

Reminder: There is a double kit E-PL2 instant rebate at BHphoto (Click here).

The british online shop Parkcameras is selling the GF1 body for 199 Pounds only. That’s a huge deal for the GF1! As you have certainly noticed there are not many cameras in Stock. The graph above shows how the price of the GF1 is increasing at Amazon US. It proves that there is still a considerable demand for the GF1 but also that there are only few in Stock.
