We have the lucky choice between two great pancake zooms. But which one should you buy? Here are two new reviews to get an idea about their strenghts and weaknesses:
Tyson Robichaud (Click here) tested the Panasonic 12-32mm lens and writes:
I would buy this lens over any of the other 14-42 or 14-45mm kit lenses, including the new Olympus 14-42 pancake zoom. Why? Firstly because it gives us a 24mm equivalent versus the 28mm equivalent on the wide end. The Lumix lens is sharp, it has nice contrast and saturation while maintaining an absolutely minuscule profile.
Photographyblog (Click here) tested the Olympus 14-42mm pancake and writes:
Whilst we’re more than happy with the Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital ED 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 EZ‘s fast and reliable auto-focusing, the very slim manual focusing ring makes this method much more frustrating. Build quality is surprisingly good considering this is a humble kit lens – even the lens mount is made of metal rather than plastic.

These are some of the picture our readers liked most on our 43rumors FB wall. If you have a nice image to share post it on the wall and if it gets a ton of votes I will post it on 43rumors.com next Sunday!
At NABshow in las Vegas Panasonic will show the new 4K camera module, which has a Super35-sized sensor and a PL mount. And a new 2/3” HD camera module, which has a 2/3” sensor set and can shoot FullHD up to 240fps (Source: Panasonicprovideo).
There is still no sign (or rumor) of a possible 4K Panasonic AG-AF100 successor yet :(

To get $100 off on the E-M1 and E-PM2 double lens kit go at Adorama (Click here) and insert coupon code “ENDOFMARCH” at checkout!
You will pay $1299 only for the E-M1 body and even more great…$299 only for the E-Pm2 kit with two(!) lenses!
And this sounds weird: But the GF2 with 14mm pancake at Amazon (Click here) or Adorama (Click here) costs $25 less than the sole 14mm pancake!

I try to avoid to post low ranked rumors on 43rumors. But this one is pretty interesting if true. An anonymous new source told me this:
“We are making prototypes of an Olympus 9mm f2.8. Expect an aperture ring and metal construction. One of our three protos seems to have room for sealing.“
Sounds like this will be a high quality (PRO?) lens. The current PRO lens roadmap doesn’t contain any prime lens yet, but if the rumor is correct tell us:
