Egami spotted a new Olympus patent disclosing the specs and design of the new 500mm f/4.0 IS Micro Four Thirds lens. Translated lens specs:

• Patent Publication No. 2015-108811
  • Published 2015.6.11
  • Filing date 2013.10.22
• Example 6
  • Focal length f = 499.265 325.022mm

  • Angle of view 2ω = 2.6 °
  • Image height Y = 11.15mm
  • FB 66.633mm

I think that’s a lens Olympus should really bring to the mass market. Now let’s see what 43rumors readers would do if they could buy the lens:

Kuban (video on top): “Bit a short video I shot using the Olympus OMD EM 5 II, last weekend in London.
Simply testing out the camera’s video and HDMI clean feed, I couldn’t get that to work, but the camera performed really smoothly, all shots handheld in a run&gun style, filmed at 1920*1080 at 50fps then re-interpreted in 25fps in premier.”

Stephen: “My 2015 Rode Reel Submission, filmed with two Olympus E-P5. My first video production, based on an interview with my 99 year old Grandpa who still lifts weights, lives independently, and holds a valid driver’s licence. http://www.rode.com/myrodereel/watch/entry/635”

Dustin: “Wish I had the lowdown on new gear, but I want to make a contribution of work. I use the GH4 for my video marketing company Idaho Studio, idahostudio.com. I was going through some of my videos created to test out lenses, I thought this one still shined. Feel free to share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTr_Jvl-1pc https://vimeo.com/116029111“
