E-M1II vs E-M10II at CameraSize
I got a small update on the rumor I posted the last week. Indeed it seems like Olympus delayed their original plan to release the new E-M10III in July. The camera is now more likely to be announced in late August-early September. The additional news I forgot is that it’s now also highly likely Olympus will announce at least one new f/1.2 PRO prime lens too.

CameraLabs tested the new Leica 8-18mm MFT lens:
The Leica may not be quite as sharp in the corners as the Olympus 7-14mm at wide apertures and it also lacks the constant f2.8 focal ratio, but in turn it’s smaller, lighter and cheaper. It also out-performs the older Lumix 7-14mm f4, while mostly avoiding the purple flare issues of that model. Throw in quick and quiet focusing, and a weather-sealed body with smooth focus and zoom rings and you have a lens that’s easy to highly recommend. It’s become my favourite ultra-wide zoom for Panasonic and Olympus bodies, and a tempting upgrade for owners of the Lumix 7-14mm f4 or Olympus 9-18mm.
