This isn’t an exciting lens for MFT folks. Samyang just announced a Full Frame 20mm f/1.8 and T/1.9 Cine version. It will be available in native MFT mount too but this is a huge FF lens “adapted” to MFT :(

Pascal: “Hello, I am a french video and travel enthusiast, and I would like to share with your viewers two short video clips I made after a road trip in Cape Verde and in Sicilia in March and May. These 2 different places offered me both a really great travel experience.
Sicilia: https://vimeo.com/174676940
Cape Verde: https://vimeo.com/162249408
I shot the video with a Gh4 and a Gm5 with 4 lenses (12-35 2.8, 25 mm 1.4, 42.5 mm 1.7 and 45-175 mm)
I must say I am pretty impressed with the video quality of the tiny Gm5 (sure it’s only full Hd but it mixes pretty well with the Gh4 footage).”
Stephen: “Here is a video I was hired to do for the Isle of Wight Mardi Gras. Unfortunately I was only able to capture the preparations as the parade was cancelled due to lightning and torrential rain. Horrible weather to work in. Too bad, as all the kids and organisers put tonnes of time into preparations. Handheld using two GX80 with the Panasonic 12-35/2.8 and 35-100/2.8 lenses (the LX100 for time-lapse). https://youtu.be/ohVyjbQoxhs or vimeo: https://vimeo.com/176550457“

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.

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.
