One of my trusted sources saw the new Olympus 30mm f/3.5 macro lens and told me that:

1. it’s a bit longer than the 25mm/f1.8.
2. No focus limiter switch
3. front lens is small (more or less like the 17mm/f1.8)
4. Filter diameter was 46mm (if I remember it right)
5. Close focusing distance 2cm
6. 1:1,25
7. Price will be around or little bit less than $400

Olympus will soon launch the new 30mm macro along the 25mm f/1.2 PRO and the 12-100mm f/4.0 PRO lens. Olympus has a press ocnference scheduled for September 19.

An anonymous source sent me that image and the following text:

“Olympus to refresh the menu! It looks like modern hasselblad! And we finally got mysets to be renamed and stored. And own custom menu where we can add most used menu items!!!”

UPDATE: I got that video showing the menu:

Question to the source: Is this actually the new E-M1II?

Image above shows the current Panasonic G7

On September 19 Panasonic will announce a new G camera. The final name is still unclear but it’s likely to be named G80 (or G85 or something like that). According to a trusted source the camera will record 4K at has 4:2:2 8bit on internal SD cards! By comparison the new GH5 will record 4K at 4:2:2 10bit on SD cards (The GH5 has dual SD card slot).

Also very important: The G80 is a market ready camera while the GH5 will be “pre-announced” which means it’s more of a prototype and specs could slighty change till the final version.

Yesterday I posted the Panasonic GH5 specs. There was one unclear point regarding the “6K photo mode” as we didn’t understand how exactly this works. Well three sources were so kind to send me their explanations:

Source 1: The camera has 4k 60p in video (10bit 4:2:2) and 4K photo mode. The 6K30p is a Photo Mode feature only! It does not 6K at 16:9 because the sensor isn’t width enough. It works just like the current 4K mode on the GH4. ON the GH5 the 6K Photo mode will do 18MP in 4:3 ratio at 30fps.

Source 2: they are not doing 6k video… only still from video in 6k photo mode.. this will give you an 18mp still image.

Source 3: The 6K photo mode would extract a 6K photo from the video stream

So just to be 100% clear: The 6K Photo mode is something different from 6K video. And there are a lot of open question how this really works (as pointed out by EosHD).

Like I told you before Panasonic is also ready to launch the LX100 successor. And today we learned the name will be “DMC-LX15”. The name just got registered at Novocert in Russia.

On September 19 Panasonic will announce the new G8x, the LX15 and show a preproduction version of the GH5.

Keep in mind Panasonic has a big announcement on September 19! GH5 and G8x coming!!!!!!!!!!!
