(FT5) Panasonic 8mm f/3.5 fisheye to be unveiled next week

According to many rumors we received from different sources Panasonic will launch a the new P&S camera but also the long awaited 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens. It will be smaller than any other 8mm lens on market (smaller than the Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'ES') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'IT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'AT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'DE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'BE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'AU') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'NL') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'CA') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'US') { $sel = "1"; ?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } if ($sel != '1') {?>Olympus 8mm f/3.5 } ?> and the Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'ES') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'IT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'AT') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'DE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'BE') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'AU') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'FR' OR $loc == 'FX') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'NL') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'CA') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($loc == 'US') { $sel = "1"; ?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } if ($sel != '1') {?>Sigma 8mm f/3.5 } ?>).

It doesn’t come with optical image stabilizer and it can’t take filter (like the Panasonic 7-14mm).

We don’t know when the lens will be in Stock but we really hope Panasonic will not make us wait too long!

Via Photorumors:
The Panasonic FX75 will have 14MP and a Leica 24mm ultra-wide-angle f/2.2 Summicron lens with 5x optical zoom. The camera will support HD video in AVCHD Lite format. No RAW file format.
