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!

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.

New Olympus patent describes set of Full Frame f/1.4 fast primes: 17mm, 25mm, 28mm, 35mm and 50mm

• July 19, 2016

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!
