This one is no surprise at all. The Kumamoto earthquake halted the Sony production for many months. And this explains the 26% sales drop reported by Olympus in his latest financial report:

Sales and income down due to temporary mirrorless camera market stagnancy caused by the Kumamoto Earthquake and planned 2nd-half launches of new products

And the forecast has been also revised down due the ongoing Kumamoto “effect” and the new Brexit scenario:

I took this photo with the E-M10 and pancake lens. As I’m new to m43 I took 2 different exposures to combine lately in photoshop but for my surprise in the end I only used the 1.7 EV overexposed picture and processed it in Capture One.

Panasonic Lumix G 30mm reviewed by Photozone

Photozone posted the tull Lumix 30mm f/2.8 macro lens review:

Technically there’s nothing to complain about the Panasonic lens. It’s sharp, small and affordable. However, if macro photography is really your thing, it probably makes more sense to check out the Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 ED macro. The Olympus lens isn’t superior but it can provide a longer working distance to your main subject. Even if you are not hunting bugs, it makes life a lot easier as far as scene lighting is concerned.
