Sigma Japan issued a note to warn current 30mm f/1.4 MFT lens owners that the distortion correction is not working. They will soon release a firmware to fix this.
The Sigma can be preordered at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, WexUK, Jessops and Calumet Germany.

As you know Panasonic recently announced the new GF8. But the camera is going on sale in Asia and Australia only. And the Australian site Photoreview posted the world’s first review of that camera:
Not surprisingly, both subjective evaluation of test shots and our Imatest testing revealed close similarities with shots from the GF7, GM5, GM1 and GX7, all of which share the same sensor and image processor. We found plenty of detail recorded in images, which were usually sharp and colour accurate, albeit with a slight tendency to emphasise reds and purplish blues.Imatest showed JPEG files showed higher resolution than the GF7 files we reported on.
For the first time the new Panasonic 100-400mm lens is in Stock and shipping at Amazon US (Click here).

It’s yet unclear if this is for a new system that Olympus could launch sometimes in the future or if those are lenses designed for a current (Sony E?) system.
