Enzo: “While working on the 7-14mm PRO filter adapter (https://www.43rumors.com/thats-cool-3d-printed-prototypes-of-adapter-ring-for-lee-100mm-system-for-mzd-714/), I made two bayonet filter adapters for two PRO lens and for Lee 100mm filter system.
They are for 12-40mm PRO and 40-150mm PRO. These bayonet adapters permit a quick install of the Lee filter system, and using the filter holder with the circular thread filter attached to the lens directly.

Experience the Depth and Breadth of Image – 21mm F1.4 
The Samyang 21mm F1.4 ED AS UMC CS is a wide angle manual focus lens for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensor size. The lens provides a wide 21mm angle of view so it is a perfect to capture landscapes and interior shots. Featuring Samyang’s exceptional optical technology, the 21mm F1.4 features eight glasses in seven groups, including one extra low dispersion lens (ED) and three glass aspherical lenses (ASP) to minimize the unnecessary light dispersion and deliver high resolution throughout the center to corner of image. The lens also features Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) to optimize the light penetration and minimize flare and ghost and has a minimum focusing distance of only 0.28m.

The lens features a bright F1.2 aperture with impressive bokeh and incorporates nine lenses in seven groups with two glass aspherical lenses (ASP) and Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) to deliver outstanding image quality. This new 50mm F1.2 is an ideal portrait lens.

Additionally, the 21mm and 50mm cine lenses are available to correspond to the demands of consumers: both are optimally designed for professional follow focus system, thanks to the quiet and smooth de-clicked focus and aperture gear rings. Also, the distance scale and T numbers are marked on both sides of the lens for convenience when filming.

For a very short moment I was jumping off my chair. Sony Japan issued a press text with that new Sony & Olympus logo and with “4k” in the title. But after using the google translation tool I discovered Sony and Olympus announced a 4K partnership to develop 4K endoscope systems :)

Still, I hope Olympus will work with Sony to make some 4K ready sensor for the next generation of PEN and OMD cameras!

Fredrik (video above): “I have made an animated GIF (and video) which illustrates how the OM-D sensor moves around when you hand hold the camera: m43photo.blogspot.com/2015/09/olympus-e-m5-mark-ii-sensor-shift-demo.html. This is fascinating in itself, and it also gives you impressively stable video recordings.”

Johannes: “This time the topic is not as hot as some of my last posts. but I did want to give it to a wider audience. m43 suffers a bit from affordable high performance lenses. Like the Nifty Fifty in the Canon world…I had some discussions in the mu43 forum – and gave the Sigma f2.8 30mm a try – and I am impressed… It is a good lens for a really fair price…This should be more public – especially for the people starting photography….delightphoto.zenfolio.com“
