A couple of info about the next PRO lenses (300mm delayed).

Share

I got some small info about the next three Olympus PRO lenses:

1) 7-14mm PRO lens will ship between late June and early July. It will cost 1399 Euro
2) Olympus got little “interest” from dealers about the 8mm PRO fisheye lens.
3) 300mm f/4.0. Apparently Olympus told to dealers the lens release got delayed. No specific timeframe of the release were given.

Reminder: Two of the future PRO lenses are listed here:
Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO Lens (here at BHphoto).
Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 300mm f/4 PRO Lens (here at BHphoto).

Few more details (and one image) about the new 16MP 3D stacked Olympus sensor with 10,000 fps.

VLSsymposium (PDF file here) unveiled some more info about the new 16MP 3D stacked Olympus sensor:

A 3D stacked CMOS Image Sensor with Global-shutter mode and high speed capturing mode:
The paper by Toru Kondo et al. from Olympus Corp. will describe a 16Mpixel 3D stacked CMOS image sensor with pixel level interconnections using 4 million micro bumps.

The two semiconductor substrates are bonded by a 7.6um pitch micro-bump array, and the storage node array is comprised on the bottom substrate to improve parasitic light sensitivity (PLS). Both a 16Mpixel global-shutter mode with a -180dB PLS and 2Mpixel 10000fps high speed image capturing are achieved. (Paper C4-5, “A 3D stacked CMOS image sensor with 16Mpixel global-shutter mode and 2Mpixel 10000fps mode using 4 million interconnections,” Toru Kondo et al., Olympus Corp.)
