Speedbooster does not work on EM1
Metabones informs that the Canon FD Speed Booster will NOT work on the E-M1. On the video on top Robert Shaw shared some more tidbits about why it doesn’t work. Pity :(

There is already a first small $20 price drop on the brand new Panasonic GM1 at Uniquephoto (Click here).
And dpreview shared their first GM1 impression:
Panasonic clearly believes there’s a demand for an extremely small camera with a very large sensor and interchangeable lenses, and with the GM1 its engineers have pushed the definition of ‘pocketable enthusiast camera’ to new limits. The GM1 is cute, fast, and packs an impressive sensor inside its tiny frame. It’s quite a feat of engineering, and we can’t wait to start shooting with a production-quality sample.
GM1 preorder list:
In US at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto.
In Europe at Amazon Germany, Wex Germany, Amazon UK, Fotohanskeuzekamp, Cyberphoto Sweden and Wex UK.

Looks like some prototype Nocticron lenses are available for show somewhere in Japan. These are three new images found by our Japanese friend at Digicameinfo. Still no info about the exact availability and price. That said it really looks sexy on that Black GX7 :)
Adobe released new Release Candidates that add support for the E-M1 and GM1. You can download here:

After the 20mm pancake DxO (Click here) also tested the new Panasonic 14-140mm lens. And in that case we have good news to report. The new version if the lens is not only lighter, faster and cheaper than its predecessor, it also deliver a clearly better optical performance. Nice!
