These are all the Fuji GFX prototypes. Damn you Fuji for not making the GFX version of the X-T3 (MirrorlessRumors).

Plenty of news on the facebook E-M1II group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.

At the CP+ Panasonic booth you can see this MFT lens timeline. And it shows clearly that at least for 2019 we can expect to get only one single MFT lens which is the 10-25mm f/1.7.

Disappointing :(

Matsu_Shohei_19 shared this image from the Olympus stage at the CP+ show and it went viral on the web. We were all wondering what it means but the most likely explanation is that Olympus intended to remark that the future 150-400mm MFT lens will be 800mm FF equivalent at the tele end.

The new roadmap contains a small info that should make everyone very excited.it contains a stripe named “Bright Prime Lenses”. At first I misinterpreted it and thought this was meant as a single lens. But at second look I realized Olympus is talking about multiple lenses. The question arises…why did they use the plural?

My guess is that they actually teased the launch of a new super fast prime lens series. Could be f/1.0 or even faster?

This is the weekly selection:

Yesterday Olympus registered a new camera model in Asia. From what I heard this model will be announced during the second half of the year and it will be a new OMD camera. E-M5II and E-M1II  are the next hot candidates in need for a replacement. But maybe Olympus has also something very “new” in their roadmap?

And today also Olympus Japan confirmed the PEN-F has been discontinued. I repeat it once more that I have heard of NO PEN-F II coming any time soon. And if you read on other rumors sites that a PEN-FII has been registered this is a a FAKE news as the registration has only been made to extend the rights on the current PEN-F model.

The fact that we are seeing the PEN-F discontinued before a new model has been announced make me worry a lot for the future of the PEN-F. I have heard from reliable sources that PEN-F sales did not meet the expected sales target…

Reminder: Don’t trust the other “rumor sites” saying a new Olympus PEN-F camera has been registered. Explanation WHY there is no new PEN-F camera registration:
1) You don’t trust us? Look at 100% reliable Nokishita that did not report this registration because there is NO NEW PEN-F registration!
2) The current PEN-F registration would have expired in January that’s why they made a new registration (with new PLG ID number) to extend it.
3) Olympus registers NEW cameras with “IMxxx” code as usual!
