Daniel Zurek‎: “https://youtu.be/-f_qRYDR158. Sharing some experiences documenting biological field work using micro four thirds. We talk about the Panasonic/Olympus gear we used to shoot macro video of jumping spiders (and general documentary scenes) in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.“

Some very good news is coming from the latest Olympus financial report (PDF file here). Some key stats for (Apr-Sep 2015), compared w the same period last yr:

– mirrorless sales up 22%, units sold up 21% (due to impressive sales of OM-D and PEN series cameras in Japan and Europe)
– compact is down 11%
– the camera division as a whole up 10% in sales
– gross profit for the division increased from -3.7bil JPY to +0.1bil JPY
– the company is doing even better as a whole: sales up 12%; net profit up 60%(a bit weird here)

This is good news for the MFT world. Finally Olympus is not loosing money on the imaging business. And let’s hope next year it will go even better when the new PEN and E-M1II cameras go on sale!

Thanks Boston C!

ReallyRightStuff (Click here) announced the new L-Plate for the E-M10II.

And Roberto sent me this:

“Since it was difficult (yet) to find any kind of supporting grip for my new Lumix GX8, I just had an epiphany and tried out the L-Grip / Bracket for my Sony A7 (without the vertical part)… and voila, works like a charm :)  It´s almost as if it were designed for the Lumix as well!
Here are some pix:

It adds pretty good stability with the bigger zooms or the Nocticron, and costs only about 10 Dollars from HK! I think it´s a nice solution, until they come up in a few months with a proprietary one…
So, you might want to share this with all the lucky GX8 owners out there? ;)”

Jan: “after I got my Panasonic 14-140mm 3.5-5.6, I was unsure, if I should keep my Panasonic 45-150mm. This is why I made a comparison test of the two lenses. I thought you and your readers might be interested in such a comparison. You can watch the video on Youtube (https://youtu.be/n_m17MmD2_8) or read it at my blog (http://www.janundseinekamera.de/panasonic-14-140mm-ii-vs-panasonic-45-150mm-comparison-review/).“

Daniel: “To add some picture substance to my previous personal review of the Panasonic Lumix GM5 (http://photodanielm.blogspot.ca/2015/10/panasonic-lumix-gm5-purpose-of-m43.html), here are others pictures taken during a recent journey to Greece.

Patrick: “Perhaps you would like to share my german YouTube tutorial videos to the OM-D E-M10 Mark II (and the OM-D E-M1 aswell).
In more than a year I created over 11 tutorials about the OM-D E-M1 and E-M10:
