Roberto spotted the GH4 on clearance in a UK store at Currys in Purley, Croydon. That store is no more ordering a new Stock of GH4 cameras and is likely to wait til the GH5 gets announced. Photokina is coming, let’s just hope Kumamoto didn’t delay the GH5 shipment time!

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…

There are plenty of new deals at BHphoto (Click here to see the full list). They added free gift cards on three Panasonic cameras!
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.“
