That video made by Mirrorless may convince some reader here to spill out the money for the new Olympus 300mm PRO lens. Impressive stabilziation work of the new Sync IS (sensor + optical stabilisation). Don’t think you can achieve such “handheld” results with any other lens on the market.

P.S.: Thanks to the messenger for this!

The official 12 and 14mm f/1.0 Olympus patent (article here).

Last month I reported that Olympus will launch a new f/1.2 Prime lens series in early Spring. Our reader and highly reliable source “Simon” added some info about those lenses:

Olympus did develop both f/1.0 and f/1.2 lenses. But did choose to produce the f/1.2 only:

“Why ? The production cost for the f1.0 were double as for the f1.2. And the size was 43 % bigger and the wight 230g more. The f1.0 is around 620g. Don’t forget with two very quick & silent autofocus Engine. But we will see no f 1.0. it is the same Story like FT E-7 vs. MFT EM-1. and here it is a question of invest in more glas, what means more expensive + more wight. The diameter was 68mm. so to big and to haevy for mft . The autofocus of the New f1.2 is outstanding und works perfect together with the PEN F. 30 % quicker as EM-1 with the Same les.“

Thanks Simon for sharing those info! I hope you can tell us more about the PEN-F too :)

Bit of history: Olympus OM system had two f/1.2 lenses: The [shoplink 56524 ebay]50mm f/1.2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 56525 ebay]55mm f/1.2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
