New PRO lens hands-on report. Titanium E-M5II listed on Amazon (says it ships on August 1).

titaniumE-M5II

Titanium E-M5II:
I was no big fan (to put it nicely) of the Olympus lens limited edition. But the new E-M5II titanium makes a lot more sense. It’s a real(!) 7,000 pieces limited edition. It comes with some nice things (card-bag, member card and cool strap) and it looks really good. Today it’s also available for preorder at Amazon US (Click here). It will ship from August 1.

New PRO lenses:
ThePhoBlographer posted some new image samples taken with both the new 7-14mm and 8mm PRO lenses.

Both lenses feel exceptional in terms of ruggedness, though in the hand I’m a much bigger fan ot the 7-14mm f2.8. It just felt nicer and is actually smaller than the f1.8 fisheye lens. Considering that these are prototype lenses that we tested, we can’t comment yet on final image quality. But as far as what we see so far, we’re quite impressed.

Steves Digicams tested the 8mm fisheye:

This is 100% not the reason to drop a grand on a PRO series lens for your OM-D… But the 8mm Fisheye is, particularly when coupled with a vari-angle touchscreen display, perfect for taking large group selfies. Not only can you fit in everybody at once, but you can also see the world around you.
