DC.watch (google translation here) interviewed the group of Olympus people who designed the Olympus 12-100mm PRO lens. There are a lot of technical details which are a bit hard to understand with the google translation tool. Here are just two general info about the lens:

1. If they would have made the lens with f/2.8 aperture it would have been considerably larger
2. Lens sales are strong and only recently the production did catch up with the high demand of the lens

Patrik: “There is always alot of talk about fullframe vs m43 in different forums. I owned a a7 and a gx7, and was able to lend a em1mk2. Here are some raw files from both the em1mk2+12-40/2.8, gx7+12-40/2.8 and a7+24-70/4. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tqhi278u4d3x6mv/AACKBzGXfQp-XKLqAmBWp9qQa?dl=0 I tried to make the same kind of frame using the same kind of settings (sometime manual, some times P, A or S). Maybe it is a good compare, maybe not. I’ll just let the viewer decide ? ”

Jaime: “I wanted to show this 360 infrared panorama, with b&w and color conversion and html coding to keep the point of view when you change the panorama, made with a Sony Nex5 converted to 720nm, hope you like it.
