Small update: I am now 99,999% certain that on November 8 (+/- 1 day) Panasonic will not announce a new GX9 or LX200. This High End Photo camera keeps being mysterious :)

I am receiving more and more hints about the new Panasonic High End “Photo-oriented” MFT camera. I have been told that this might not be a new GX9! But a sort of “GH5” variation with more photo oriented features.

Damn does this intrigue me! I hope it has some sort of magic new tricks :)

Once more our rumors were spot on and indeed Olympus will announce two new PRO lenses on October 25 (October 26 in Japan time zone). Here are the images of the 45mm f/1.2 PRO lens (on top) and the 17mm f/1.2 PRO lens (below).
