I make no secret here. I am a big fan of that lens and I noticed that it is very very difficoult to find it in Stock somewhere. My sources told me the lens has been sold out at least until early 2011! [shoplink 16903]Bayern Fotoversand is now selling three of them on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. They ship to Europe only but if you are located outside Europe feel free to contact them. They may will make an exception for you!

CNET Asia posted a Hands-on with the Cosina Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 + image samples on Flickr.

If you need autofocus you might want to wait until Panasonic announced the 25mm f/1.4 Micro Four Thirds lens ([shoplink 14959]To not confuse with the Panasonic/Leica 25mm lens for Four Thirds)[/shoplink]

UPDATE: Link corrected. Sorry!

(DEAL DEAD) E-P2 with lens and EVF for $799. PEN + Lensbaby deal on Amazon (-$100)

The weeks before the GF2 announcement we saw some nice GF1 deal. Now our sources are suggesting us that the E-P2 is the next camera to be replaced. Maybe that’s why we see that huge price drop on Amazon: E-P2+14-42mm lens + external EVF for $799 (Click here to visit the product page). According to our sources the E-P3 could be announced in 2-3 months. But you can never know…

And there is one more special deal. You can save up to $100 in a combined purchase of an Olympus PEN camera and select Lensbaby products (Click here to read the terms of the deal)

Panasonic GF2 on Amazon! At the same time the GH2 disappears :(

Click here: Panasonic GF2 at Amazon. You can’t preorder the camera for now and price informations are not available.

BAD NEWS

Oh no…Amazon removed the GH2 from their database! Click here to check it out for yourself: Panasonic GH2 search at Amazon. I don’t know if that has to d with some kind of delivery delay…it’s really frustrating!
Adorama and BHphoto do list the GH2 (Approx. Arrival December).

Oh no! First Panasonic GH2 shipment delay :(

[shoplink 16254][/shoplink]

Bad news folks. We received many mails from readers (Thank you all) and they told us the silver GH2 kits have been removed from Amazon’s general search results and their pre-orders have been canceled! Looks like the grey cameras are not shipping anytime soon :(
Click here to see the silver kits on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043VE288.

Meanhwile Adorama confirmed that they will start shipment on November 19th and unlike previous messages the silver GH2 is not in Stock (it was a mistake from Adorama).

Looks like we have to wait a long time before we can get our GH2!
