(FT4) New Olympus 17mm f/1.2 PRO likely to start shipping out in January

Share


The current Olympus 25mm f/1.2 is in Stock at [shopcountry 64545].

I told you weeks ago that Olympus is ready to launch the new 17mm f/1.2 PRO lens. It probably will be announced along the new E-M10III. Today a source (Thanks!) sent me this small update:

“The forthcoming 17mm f1.2 lens is not likely to be on the shelves until January 2018”

So we will have to be a bit patient…

EISA Award for the Panasonic GH5 and Olympus 12-100mm

Share

EISA announced this year’s photography award winners.

The GH5 won the award as best Photo and Video camera:

The Panasonic DC-GH5 focuses all the brand’s know-how in both photo and video. The body is well balanced, weather resistant and has an excellent electronic viewfinder. With a 20.3 million pixel Four Thirds sensor it delivers good picture quality up to ISO 3200, with excellent autofocus and internal stabilisation. In video it provides an excellent compromise between image quality, features and price and allows recording up to 4K/60p 4:2:2 10-bit onto the memory card without recording time limitation. With high-end features such as a high-speed 6K Photo mode, slow motion, automatic focus transition, Vlog and an XLR module for sound recording, the GH5 offers endless possibilities for creative video production.

The 12-100mm PRO won the award as best zoom lens for mirrorless system cameras:

The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO is an incredible travel lens as well as a general-purpose zoom lens. It covers an 8.3x zoom range with a constant F4.0 maximum aperture and built-in optical stabilisation. Built to withstand dust, moisture and rough use, the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO is as sharp as many prime lenses from super wide angle to telephoto, and its smooth and silent focusing makes it a favourite for video as well as still photography. Combined with Olympus’ latest pro cameras, it reduces camera shake with up to 6.5 stops, and at just 562g you can take it anywhere.
