Jan (video on top):I received my Panasonic Lumix G 25mm F1.7 today and made a short unboxing video. I haven’t seen any other videos about the new 25mm yet, so I thought you and your readers might be interested.

Martin:I think you should publish about this 3rd party HLD-7 battery grip damaging the camera contacts, and possibly functionality and resale value. It just happened to me, and according to some amazon reviews, I’m not alone. http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/56767425

Holger: as you may remember I’m the developer of the GSimpleRelease App for easily creating Focus Brackets (look here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.minaxsoft.gsimplerelease). I added new a new feature to react on Noise. Just to mention :-) Some kind advertisement is always good… )

Over at Magnum Photographer (Click here) you can see the pictures shot by Alex Majoli in Paris during the Terror Attack. I will take the chance to send all my condolences to the people who suffered from the tragedy.
