The reaction on the new Olympus camera announcement has been quite mixed. Not few people are unhappy with the E-P2 improvements. On the other side people are happy to have seen Olympus fixing some of the E-P1 limits. But what surprised me more is that Olympus failed to announce prime lenses which many of us do need! I am no marketing expert but I strongly believe that there is a lot of money you can make here!
Anyway, competition is coming and next year MicroFourThirds will have to fight hard against big brands like Canon, Sony and Nikon.

UPDATE: We will close the poll tomorrow.
You have a maximum of three votes!

The question is:

Our friends from photorumors.com just discovered this nice countdown at tamron.de. Are they making a countdown for a new Canon-Nikon-Sony-Pentax lens? This would be boring normal. Let’s hope that this time they are going to make something for us! MicroFourThirds lenses? :)

It is not a rumor, just my personal wish! Come on Tamron! I know you can make my 25mm f/1.4 lens ;)
