This is one of the biggest bad jokes: The German company Meyer-Optik-Görlitz puts his logo on the [shoplink 37365 ebay]35mm f/0.95 MFT Zy Optics lens (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and asks triple…yes three times the price for the exactly same lens! Well, not exactly, marks are in blue and they add their log on it. They also write on their site that it’s “Made in Germany” but they specify that they by the best elements from around the world.

Please guys…don’t buy it!

As you know there is a nice 14-150mm Micro Four Thirds lens from Tamron (here on BH). Well it looks like Tamron is working on a more “magnified” version of this lens. Egami spotted a new patent describing two variations with 200 and 300mm at the tele end. And these lenses would keep the same f/3.5-6.3 aperture and have VC (lens stabilization).

Let’s hope they really make that 14-300mm lens! One lens to rule them all :)
