Schneider stated at Photoscala that the MFT sales on the worldwide market are dropping. And therefore it makes little sense for them to make lenses. But I think you don’t have to read too much into it because at the same time they also said they are considering to not make the FF lenses for Nikon and Canon they presented back at Photokina. I guess they simply saw little chance for them in the overall photo camera lens market. This is not a special MFT market problem.

It’s official! Photoscala reports that Schneider withdraw the plan they had to release the three MFT lenses in 2015. So we will NEVER get those lenses! Actually the decision has not to do with a change regarding their specific Micro Four Thirds strategy. The company completely changed their focus. They will now move away from the classic Photo Lens market! They will stay in the market for Large Format lenses for Linhof, Alpa and Cambo and develop lenses for the Industrial and Cine market.

That’s bad news althaugh….Schneiders proposed MFT focal length lenses are already available within the Panasonic/Olympus lens repertoire.
