Tropischer Orchideenzauber – Blumengärten Hirschstetten (Christian Mari).

Anonymous:just for fun ;) This is what I imagined, with the help of a little photoshopping, a FourThirds 300 f4 might have looked like back in 2009. That dream never came to fruition but after 7 long years we finally have a 300 F4 for Microfourthirds! I think it has some similarities to the current lens, but I didn’t foresee the lens IS system…

JR:I would like to share my short action-comedy miniseries shot primarily with the GH4. In particular for Episode 1, we acquired a pair of massive Fujinon Cabrio Premier PL lenses, which allowed us to execute some very fun and retro crash zooms in addition to delivering tack-sharp, quality footage.

(FT4) One more Panasonic MFT announcement soon…

Share

Two sources confirmed that Panasonic will have a new MFT announcement within the next 4-6 weeks. I got no details yet but they said it’s not for a new GH or G series camera! I am working to get the details soon.

In the meantime answer this: what are you hoping to get from Panasonic?

Panasonic GX8 review at Dpreview:

GX8_case_Jason_TP

Dpreview posted the full Panasonic GX8 review and writes:

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 is a impressive mirrorless camera that ticks most of the boxes that many enthusiasts are seeking. Its new 20MP sensor is impressive, Depth from Defocus AF system top-notch, and Dual IS system innovative. The camera’s touchscreen and Wi-Fi features are both well-implemented, and its weather-sealed body is solid.
Still shooters will need to decide whether having to use the electronic shutter to avoid blur is worth its potential trade-offs, while videographers who want to hook up an external mic or HDMI cable may not enjoy losing the flexibility of the camera’s rotating rear screen. It’s for these reasons – especially shutter shock – that we are unable to give the GX8 our highest award.

The new Panasonic Leica 100-400mm lens will finally start to ship next week on March 15 according to BHphoto.

Daniel Cox just returned from Japan where he met with the Panasonic Lumix team and spent ten days photographing Japan’s Winter Wildlife. Most of the work was with the Lumix GX8 and the new Leica 100-400mm zoom. You can see the image gallery here http://archive.naturalexposures.com/proofing/C00003nDou.nKOU0/G0000gFSGHEV7FMk
He also produced a short video on shooting the GX8 in some very wintery conditions:

Olympus new “IM001” camera coming soon. What is it?

Bildschirmfoto 2016-02-10 um 16.00.04

As we reported weeks ago Olympus just registered a new camera named “IM001” (Source: Postel). We got early rumors about a high end fixed lens compact and of course the E-M1II. But I don’t know if “IM001” is a sort of code name for one of the two rumored cameras. So what’s your guess?

The "IM001" is the....
