The new TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 Macro for MFT is now in Stock at BHphoto.

And here are three new video reviews of this lens (in other mount versions):

For once something different ;)

TheNarrowBand made this cool video and writes:

Attaching your MFT camera to a telescope could not be easier today. There are a plethora of adapters and some of them do some very unique things. A few interesting ones permit you to adjust tilt of the camera and some even reduce the f-ratio of your scope so you can collect light even faster.

ATTENTION!
There are two different standards for M42. One has a 0.75mm thread pitch. The other is 1mm thread pitch. You will only find the 1mm thread pitch in European markets. While the M42x0.75mm dominates the American Canadian, Chines and Japanese markets. Both seam to have the same back focus or lens flange distance of 45.46mm.

Here is a link for the adapter that I used. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284169576224…

And the thread adapter can be found here. Just select the 10mm option.

I would recommend purchasing the adapter for M42 first. See what it is as far as thread pitch then order your 42-48 adapter should your scope need it.

Never saw it from this angle…that a cheap Olympus camera still offers much better quality than $1000+ smartphones!

Lenstip reviewed the 8-25mm PRO lens and concluded:

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25 mm f/4 PRO didn’t have any slip-ups and is an instrument which I can personally recommend without any objections. Its price, reaching $1100, is perhaps not that low but lenses with interesting, unique parameters never come cheap. If I, by force, wanted to find any flaw of this one I would mention the fact that I would be happier if the performance of the 8-25 mm model was on par with the performance of its 12-45 mm brother. Of course my expectations are one thing; I am aware that designing and producing an 8-25 mm model is more difficult than the production of the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45 mm f/4.0 PRO. Still in the case of the tested lens you get not only a very good sharpness in the frame centre but also practically no slip-ups on edges. At every focal length, up from the maximum relative aperture, you can enjoy good quality images across the frame, a really impressive achievement. Hats off!

Jim Chung reviewed the super fast Voigtländer 29mm f/0.8 MFT lens. He absolutely likes the handling and image quality of the lens. But he misses the autofocus feature that would be really handy for a fast lens like that.

Of course adding autofocus would make the lens a lot heavier and larger…you can’t have it all.
