For months now Patrick/Andrea from Fujirumors and SonyAlpharumors are running a photocontest on their sites. And I am now kindly “stealing” their idea and start my own contest too ;)

It works like that: On the 43rumors Facebook Wall (Click here) you can share your best pictures shot with an MFT camera and you can like the pictures from the other posters. A selection of the most voted pictures will be posted every week directly on 43rumors. There is nothing to win but a lot you can learn from that contest. You will see what others can do with their camera/lenses, and you can also make new friends or ask questions and tech tricks to photographers.

Got it? Now show us all your best pics at facebook.com/43rumors!!!

I guess you all know the story by now. The 75 year old story Calumet closed overnight without saying any word to employees and customers that had cameras or other stuff on order. Calumet US filed for chapter 7 (bankruptcy). If you bought something that still had to be shipped by Calumet you will have to contact the bankruptcy attorney (with little hope to get the money back).

The real terrible news comes for the employees. They had no idea they would lose the job, they had no time to look for another one. I wish them all the best! I hope they will all find a new job soon!

A damn sad story.

P.S.: Calumet Europe still works fine.

The Olympus E-M10 is back in Stock via third party resellers like Ritz Camera at Amazon US (Click here).

Did you ever wonder if the E-M10 has or has not an Anti Aliasing filter? Well Moonlight Knight tried to get an answer by contacting four different Olympus employess:
– Olympus Japan
– Olympus Hong Kong
– Olympus USA
– Olympus Europe

You would think they would all give you the correct answer but this is not what happened! Moonlight Knight writes:

Olympus USA did not give me a reply even after a week. The other three offices gave me a reply reasonably quickly, but I got three different answers!
Answer 1: “E-M10 sensor has AA filter.”
Answer 2: “As for today we have no information about low-pass filters used on E-M10 sensor.”
Answer 3: “The E-M10 is a low-pass filter less product.” (He referred me to the specifications, which said TruePic VII is optimized for low-pass filter less sensor. I know that E-M10 uses TruePic VII, but I don’t think it logically implies E-M10 must have no AA filter.)

Lol :)
