I think it’s close to two years I do not post any Four Thirds related review. And now thanks to Imaging Resource we have one. They tested the superb Olympus 150mm FT lens on the E-M1II and PEN-F

There is no question that the Olympus 150mm ƒ/2 Zuiko is a well-built, high performance telephoto lens. The results from the labs show excellent performance across the board in terms of sharpness, resistance to chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting. Of course, when paying over two thousand dollars for a lens, you should expect nothing less. The big question would be whether or not to consider the Sigma 150mm ƒ/2.8; it’s much less expensive, but matches the Olympus in terms of quality. However, that extra stop of speed, and the high quality inherent in the Super High Grade lens lineup, would make the Olympus 150mm ƒ/2 an excellent addition to an Olympus owner’s collection.

Panasonic Q1 financial results: Increase in camera sales

Share

Panasonic Japan published the full Q1 financial report. A couple of notes:

1) Net profit attributable to Panasonic Corporation stockholders increased by 19.6 billion yen from the previous year (particularly due to growth in the automotive-related business).

2) Increased in AV consumer electronics such as TVs and digital cameras

In all their documents I found nearly no mention of the digital camera business. It’s clear that other branches (automotive industry and so on) are the more important part within the company
