The Olympus PEN-F looks damn sexy with those old lenses. DC.watch (google translation here) posted a test of the [shoplink 60952 ebay]Canon 55mm f/1.2 lens (here on eBay)[/shoplink] with the PEN-F. If you are waiting to get a f/1.2 lens be aware that Olympus will soon launch a new f/1.2 PRO prime lens series! Just wait til Photokina…

DxOmark (Click here) posted the full Panasonic GX80/85 sensor score results. As expected the camera performance is as good as the rest of the MFT bunch. We can probably expect a new jump in the score from the future GH5 and E-M1II only.

I just found a brand newly published Olympus patent describing the a new f/1.4 prime lens line for a yet non existing Olympus Full Frame system! The lenses do have a highly complex lens design suggesting these will deliver a high quality performance. The patented lens versions are:
17mm f/1.4 (7 cm total lens lenght)
25mm f/1.4 (8 cm total lens lenght)
25mm f/1.4 (13 cm total lens lenght)
28mm f/1.4 (13 cm total lens lenght)
35mm f/1.4 (13 cm total lens lenght)
50mm f/1.4 (13 cm total lens lenght)
So the question seems no more to be “if” Olympus will make a FF system but more when they will announce it!

Miemo Penttinen: “https://vimeo.com/172306523 As mostly a stills guy, I shoot video way too rarely. This is the latest exception: playing around with Olympus E-M5mkII on a sunny midsummer day in the beautiful Suomenlinna island in Helsinki, Finland.60p conformed to 24p. Graded & edited in Premiere Pro CC.”
Jan: “here is a travel video about a trip to India, which I filmed with Micro Four Thirds gear. https://youtu.be/FDMy97dtaAY
When I went to India last year I was afraid to take all my expensive gear with me. This is why I got a used GH1 and a used GX1 (insanely cheap these days) together with some cheap used Panasonic lenses (14-42mm II, 45-150mm, 20mm and a c-mount fisheye). I was surprised that this cheap but versatile set delivered decent 1080p footage and some amazing images.“
