I hope none of my readers will be affected by this news: The German company Net SE is officially bankrupt. If you supported some of their Kickstarter projects and didn’t get the lens yet…you will not get your money back!

Note: The company has many Kickstarter projects branded as Meyer Optik Görlitz, C. P. Goerz und Oprema Jena. Some lenses are in Stock at Bhphoto but I don’t think the lenses that are “on preorder” will be ever shipped! Althaugh BHphoto will surely give you back the money if that’s the case.

We got some new Panasonic Photokina related news. First a curiosity: as shown by Lensvid the new 70-200mm Full Frame lens was actually a 3D printed model with no glass. It shows how much work Panasonic still has to do to complete their new FF products. Also the 10-25mm f/1.7 MFT lens seems to have been 3D printed and plastic glass. AT the very bottom you can see the video interview from Lensvid.

But first check out this video where you can see a first hands-on video with the S1-S1R prototype:
