About the iF Design Award

The iF Design Award is a design award established in 1953 with the aim to promote industrial design. This award is hosted by the iF International Forum Design, which is based in Hannover, Germany, and consists of seven categories, i.e., Product, Packaging, Communication, Interior Architecture, Professional Concept, Service Design, and Architecture. Every year, top-class designers and design managers of corporations examine products and select excellent designs. As a prestigious award in Europe, the birthplace of industrial design, the iF Design Award is one of the most famous international design awards.

Imaging Resource interviewed eight managers and engeneers from Panasonic. There is a lot of insight talk about the GH5. I do mention two points only:

High Demand of GH5:
“we [received] very big preorders globally and we are afraid about [supply] capacity.”

No overheating:
The GH5 uses heat-dispersing technology from the Panasonic TV. The heat comes 30% from the sensor and 70% from the processor. The previous GH4 had in-camera flash. That space is now used as a heatsink on the GH5

GH5 at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama and Panasonic US. In EU at Amazon.de, Cyberport.de and ParkCamera.

Olympus UK released that press release about their presence and plans for the Photography Show:

It’s months I am waiting to see this lens shipping. And today I noticed that worrisome note at BHphoto :(
I hope this is just a mistake from the store. It would be bad news if Rokinon would discontinue the MFT mount version!

The lens is still listed at Amazon with 1-2 months shipment estimate. But that’s a note that is there for months it actually never shipped :(

Today Veydra shared this bad news on their facebook page:

Please share! STOLEN LENSES!
Attention filmmakers, friends, and fans of Veydra; our HQ in California was broken into last night and someone stole over 200 Veydra Mini Prime Lenses.
We are offering a reward for any information leading to return of Veydra Mini Prime lenses from our inventory. This many lenses should be noticeable so if you see any crazy deals on Veydra, help us recover our stolen goods.
Please share and tell your friends. Veydra lenses will be available again but it may take some time to fill orders so we appreciate everyone’s help and patience while we recover from this significant loss.
Thanks for your help in keeping our dream alive.

You can bet the thieves will use platforms like [shoplink 65275 ebay]eBay[/shoplink] to sell the stolen lenses. If you find some suspicious auction please contact the local authority. You can find 100% legit Veydra lenses on sale at Bhphoto.

Panasonic updated the Image App (download here) and it now supports the new Panasonic GH5.
