Kinoptik 150mm f/2.9 test on the GH4.

Annie Barton tested the [shoplink 56800 ebay]Kinoptik 150mm f/2.9 lens (here on eBay)[/shoplink] on the Panasonic GH4:

We think this copy we have could be a faulty lens, or a fake Kinoptik. It eats up quite a bit of light, so it flares a lot making the image less sharp. Maybe a longer lens hood might help?
Stay tuned for the upcoming Kinoptik 100mm. We like the 100mm much better than this 150 !!
This Kinoptik Focale is modified into a Nikon mount. The focusing barrel makes the lens fairly huge. The 150mm in Micro Four Thirds system makes the focal length even longer, and together with its size, this lens is not easy to use.

Mark the date: The new Olympus 300mm PRO lens will be announced on January 6 at 6am London time.

A source also sent me this 300mm hands-on report:

I have been able to try the upcoming 300 f4 from Olympus and the stabilization performance is absolutely amazing. I was able to take sharp shots at 1/50 with an EM1 in a very poor lights conditions

Sounds good! Now let’s hope Olympus will price the lens as low as it gets!
