Andrew: “Possibly your readers would be interested in some photographs from a deserted and decaying hospital in Vicksburg, Mississippi, USA. The paranormal researchers often visit this hospital, but I never saw any ghosts. I took most of the photographs with a tripod-mounted Panasonic G3 camera and the Olympus 9-18mm lens (a few with a Fuji and one with a Leica on film). http://worldofdecay.blogspot.com/2014/09/kuhn-memorial-hospital-upper-floors.html”

Jay: “Here are pics from my trip taken last Fall to Oaxaca, Mexico during Day of the Dead. Photos taken using the Olympus EM5 and several prime lenses (Olympus Zuiko 12, 17, 45 and 75). http://oneworldtraveltour.smugmug.com/2013-Mexico/2013-Nov-Oaxaca/“

Sebastian: “For the video guys out there, I have created a LUT that helps balance out the colours on Panasonic cameras (particularly the new ones like the GX7 and GH4). I would appreciate if you could promote the link as I am interested to see what results people get out of it http://sebcastilho.com/journal/2014/10/19/a-study-on-panasonic-colours-and-a-lut-to-balance-them/“

One month after Photokina Voigtlander still didn’t release any official rpice and shipment info of the amazing new 10,5mm f/0.95 Nokton lens (specs listed here at BHphoto).

I hope Voigtlander/Cosina is reading this post and will soon give us an update :)

Reminder: SystemKameraForum got an “Unofficial info” saying the new Nokton 10,5mm f/0.95 lens will cost around 1300 Euro. Few image samples at Bestmirrorlesscamerareviews and Optyczne.pl. Hands-on pics at ePhotozine.

These are the other three Nokton f/0.95 lenses:
Nokton 25mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 36580 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).
Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 36581 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).
Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95 ([shoplink 41062 ebay]here one Bay[/shoplink]).

Sony managers talking at DSLRmagazine

In an Interview at DSLRmagazine (translation here) Sony said that while they are closely working with Olympus on the medical business they are not collaborating on the photography development level.

Zeiss managers told at BestMirrorlessCameraReviews that there are lots of things you’d like to do, but you have limited resources and power so you need to concentrate on one thing:

At the moment, the MFT system is quite valued, but as for the willingness to spend big money on lenses, to see this as an investment as you do on a SLR, we are not 100% sure it is there. On a full frame SLR system, the lens is really the investment part. The camera is what you change, and people are used to this. In the case of less-than full frame systems, we still don’t understand.

No MFT lenses for now :(
