A month ago Panasonic unveiled at Imaging Resource that they withdraw the plan to release a high end X zoom lens. Well, one of our anonymous sources told us that the planed lens specs were: 100-300mm f/4. So now I am curious to hear from you guys if you would have been interested to buy such a lens or not:

Leopold: “Here is an acoustic music video i shot on the GH3 with the SLRMagic 35/1.4 and the anamorphot. It was some kind of a test shooting for upcoming projects i´d like to shoot with my new gh4 which i´ll get soon. I really like the anamorphot, although it´s not easy to handle when shooting in near distances with the diopters. You have to be very careful to stay in focus especially when shooting wide open. But it´s fun and the look is unique! https://vimeo.com/100743835”

(FT4) UPDATED: New High End OMD may just be the Silver E-M1 :(

UPDATE: One of our good sources contacted me to say that unlike some speculation made by our readers the new OMD camera that Olympus will launch in September is neither a E-M5 replacement nor a complete new OMD model. And I got word from two sources that the new OMD may be just a new Silver E-M1 with new firmware update.

This means no real NEW OMD camera is coming at Photokina. Hope other sources will contact me to confirm or deny the rumor.
