Azure Photonics 6.5mm f/2.0 C-Mount Ultra Wide Lens Test on Panasonic GH4 from Gan Eden Productions on Vimeo.

Gan Eden (video on top): “I have been testing the new Azure ultra wide 1″/S16 format lens and it is awesome! Tack sharp in the corners and works beautifully on the BMPCC and GH4 in UHD. I did a test here (video on top). Here is the BMPCC test with the Azure 6.5mm lens: https://vimeo.com/126484326”

Richard: “There will be a new firmware released soon for EF to m4/3 smart adapters. It will include the usual bug fixes and a feature additions (functionality that has been absent which should make them more attractive for many users).”

Kraemer: “I shot this on a gh4 for the London Stewart collection on a pier at night as a storm was blowing in: https://vimeo.com/126163452”

Joe: “Since the Olympus OM-D EM-5 doesn’t have an intervalometer built in, here’s a tutorial on how to shoot a time lapse with it – http://www.lessgearmorephotos.com/howto-timelapse-omd-em5/”

Marc: “I’m case you need some material. Handheld slow motion with sensor stabilization. https://youtu.be/IEMUzJzcmH4“

(FT4) Olympus will soon make announcement for the 7-14mm lens. But no new camera coming?

7-14mm_PRO

A source told me Olympus will announce the 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO lens pricing in May. And as far as he heard there is no new MFT camera to be announced yet. So no new E-P6 or E-PLM camera coming yet.

Bruno: “Hi, back in 2012, you shared some of my early attempts at time-lapse astro-photography with an E-P3.  Since then, I’ve added a few lens to my collection and been very busy taking more photos and have recently released two major time-lapses on youtube, both in 1080p.  All the Images were taken at the South African Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland during my various visits to the mountain top over the last three years.  Over 100 GB of raw images were collected, 8000 individual frames.

Another source shared a good and a not so good news. The Panasonic G7 will have 4K but very likely no DFD focusing system. He has no info about the 4K bitrate. The FT5 specs so far are:

– Panasonic G7 announcement in mid may
– 16MP sensor (same as th one used by the GX7
– 4K recording
– no DFD
