This is one of the biggest bad jokes: The German company Meyer-Optik-Görlitz puts his logo on the [shoplink 37365 ebay]35mm f/0.95 MFT Zy Optics lens (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and asks triple…yes three times the price for the exactly same lens! Well, not exactly, marks are in blue and they add their log on it. They also write on their site that it’s “Made in Germany” but they specify that they by the best elements from around the world.

Please guys…don’t buy it!

So far the only GX7 successor rumor I got says that it’s coming in May. No word from the source if this means we will get an announcement or the real shipment in May. Also specs are yet unknown. I hope my usual good sources can spill out some tidbits after reading this post. Thanks!
