bolex

After two years of development the first three Digital Bolex C-mount lenses have been announced. These can work with adapter on MFT cameras too as stated on their website:

The Kish Optics/Digital Bolex Series 1 Super16mm Primes are fixed aperture F4 lenses fine-tuned to the optical sweet spot of each lens. C-mounted for native use with the Digital Bolex D16 camera, these lenses will cover sensors from 16mm to M43, and can be used on traditional C-mount 16mm motion picture cameras.

Full specs and few image samples can be seen here: http://www.digitalbolex.com/product-category/optics/lenses/

UPDATED: This is how much smaller the Olympus 300mm lens is compared to the Canon/Nikon version.

43rumros Steve sent me that picture from the Photo Festa 2014. You see the Olympus 300mm f/4.0 size compared to the [shoplink 48604 ebay]Canon (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 48605 ebay]Nikon (here on eBay)[/shoplink] lenses. That’s the price and size you pay for Full Frame lenses :)

And also DC.watch posted some pics of the event. So here they are:

UPDATE: I corrected the ebay links ot the Canon and Nikon 600mm (and not 300mm) lenses.

New review of the Tamron 14-150mm MFT lens!

Share

1000-Tamron-14-150mm-Di-III-Micro-Four-Thirds-4_1406897620

ePhotozine posted the full results of the Tamron 14-150mm MFT lens review. And the conclusion is pretty good:

If you own an Olympus Micro Four Thirds camera, which includes sensor-shift image stabilisation, then there isn’t a better value superzoom available for your camera. This is especially true as this lens delivers decent sharpness, despite it’s 10.7x zoom range.

Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.8 Di III Pros

Good sharpness for a superzoom lens
Versatile 10.7x zoom range
Quick autofocus
Good build quality
Compact and lightweight

Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.8 Di III Cons

Dark corners at 14mm (when shooting raw)
An optically stabilised version will tempt more owners of Panasonic Micro Four Thirds cameras

The new Tamron MFT zoom is already in Stock at BHphoto in Black (Click here) and Silver (Click here).
