Can’t imagine that you still do not own the lens :)
Deal: Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 is now in Stock for $385.95
And also the Panasonic 45-200mm Lens gets a discount (now $280.95)
I believe soon we will see even more massive price reductions…(Sony price war)
Curious: The Olympus E-P1
I don’t know if all this price drops have to do with the upcoming Sony mirorrless camera announcements..probably not. But fact is that many MicoFourThirds stuff has the lowest price ever!
The Panasonic 14-140mm price dropped under $800 for the first time ($788.95)
The Panasonic 45mm has also the lowest price ever seen on amazon ($817.85)
The Olympus E-P2 now for $998.95
The Panasonic GF1 with 14-45mm Lens for $754.45
It is not easy to find that lens on Ebay: The PEN-F Zuiko Olympus 42mm F/1.2. You can find some image samples on flickr
Short Movie “true love” Lumix GH1 with PEN F 42mm lensPEN F 42mm lens:
We have seen many price drops on Amazon and other stores but the real deal is now on Ebay.
The Top-rated seller “Cameraland” is selling four Panasonic GF1+20mm sets for $769.99 only! That’s $110 cheaper than the current price on Amazon US
They ship worldwide so everyone interested in getting the camera should take a look on it.
For europeans: $769.99= 563 € -> In Germany the cheapest price is 742,99 € on Pixmania.de. So you save 180 €. I don’t know how much you have to pay for taxes if you buy in Ebay US.
UPDATE: I was told that in Italy you have to pay 25% taxes! :(
P.S.: we do not expect any Panasonic GF1 successor soon.
I noticed that in Germany you can find some nice books about MicroFourThirds cameras. Now they have two new books:
The Profibuch Olympus PEN: E-P1, E-P2 & E-PL1 (Gebundene Ausgabe)
Other countries do not have that choice. Amazon UK lists only the Magic Lantern Guides: Olympus E-P1 (Magic Lantern Compact Guides)
The same book is available for US citizen in amazon: Magic Lantern Guides: Olympus E-P1
