Panasonic will announce all their new products at 10am PST time (that’s 19:00 in Berlin). All we can expect from a Micro Four Thirds point of view is to get the new 100-400mm Panasonic-Leica MFT lens.
The specs are known. I hope Panasonic will tell us more about price and shipment date at the event!
The Panasonci 20mmII got a $30 discount and an additional $25 free gift card at Adorama (Click here).
$200 discount on the great Olympus 75mm f/1.8 lens at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto and GetOlympus.
