Panasonic patented a 20-400mm f/2.9 lens for the DMC-FZ series

I spotted a brand new Panasonic patent describing a 20-400mm f/2.9 lens for the DMC-FZ series. The lens has an overall length of 9,4cm. If Panasonic will ever use that lens on a FZ camera is unclear. But having a constant f/2.9 aperture would certainly be a nice evolution over the current FZ2500.

Announced: Lensbaby 85mm f/1.6 MFT lens

Lensbaby announced the new Velvet 85mm f/1.6 lens. You can preorder it for $499 at Adorama and BHphoto.

There is a review on Adorma written by Dan Mandell:

I could justify buying it simply because of its increased situational versatility. While you have the option to go full artsy with this lens, you can dial it down or season to taste if you prefer. It would have been interesting to really see how this lens works in even more diverse scenarios. Off the top of my head, I can think of a few things. There are probably ways to exploit what the lens does to create more targeted areas of effect. Using spotlights or fresnels, you could literally paint in or pinpoint areas of light that would receive the effect. Even light painting or long exposure shots have interesting possibilities here.
I’m happy to see Lensbaby making some moves in this direction. I look forward to more and more interesting entries into the market from them.
