Panasonic patented a new kind of Micro Four Thirds lens design aimed to give you a full manual control over aperture and focusing. The lens has a unique focus grip just like manual focusing Leica and Vogitlander lenses. This could become a new series of full manual focusing MFT lenses?

The full details of the patent can be read at freepatentsonline.com/WO2016143327A1.pdf. The bad news is that the text is available in Japanese only :)

I got the following info via two sources: There might be a good chance that you will get your new Olympus E-M1II right before Christmas! Preorders should open soon (within 3-4 weeks) and the price is slightly above the E-M1. The E-M1 launch price was $1,399. I have no info about the final price but I expect the E-M1II to cost around $200-$300 more…

Richard Wong: “i’ve received the new v1.0 firmware from Panasonic and also updated lens firmware which means the dual I.S. 2 is finally enabled. so i’ve done some testing of the Dual I.S. 2 system and updated my review.
In short, the Dual I.S. 2 works exactly as advertised, 5 stops of stabilisation at 280mm (35mm equivalent)
