Zeiss could buy a majority stake of Leica shares

Reuters reports that Blackstone plans to sell their 45% Leica shares. And Zeiss seems to be interested to buy those shares. But Zeiss real goal is to become a majority shareholders and that means they would like to buy a part (or all) the shares from the Kaufman family.
If the deal goes through this could have an impact on the Panasonic and Leica partnership too.

Former Nikon Ambassador reviews the E-M1II…read his findings!

Former Nikon Ambassador De la Mircea Bezergheanu:
Only five days after I had publicly announced that I would end my collaboration with Nikon, renouncing my title as Ambassador, while looking to find a new system, a mirrorless one this time, something that could challenge my whole carrier, out of the blue I got a fully equipped Olympus system.
To be honest, I would not give too many chances to the new system. My conservatory thinking would not allow me to conceive that a small sensor can be better than a big sensor.
He then goes through all the “discoveries” he had by using an Olympus MFT system. And at the end he writes:
Overall, I am quite happy that now I have one professional solution which will allow me to do what I do best: photos; as good and as best as I can do. Camera is just a tool; the only thing that matters in the end is what lies between the viewfinder and the back of your head.
