Shattered Glass: “After reading your blog and watching many of the videos you share, I thought I might send you a video of mine dealing with the SLR Magic 12mm and 25mm Hyperprime lenses. I’ve seen next to nothing about the 25mm on YouTube, and on my video I shared your post about the SLR magic being sharper than the Nokton Voigtlander. Anyway, I hope my video can help out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HjgWypeUpE”

Ivan: “Hi there! I made a short clip using with GH3 and Fujian 25mm 1.4 CCTV lens. With some work in post this combination gives you vintage, almost anamorphic feel. Given the price of the lens ($20 on ebay) I think everyone should have it. Here’s the video: https://vimeo.com/67524039”

Edward: “Thought I’d share my set of pictures from the new Sigma 60mm 2.8 “Art” lens. Previously I have owned the first gen 19mm and 30mm 2.8’s and were very impressed with all their lens qualities but found more suitable replacements in the shape of faster f stop options. This lens however is a real keeper as it’s quite the alternative to the 75mm 1.8. http://www.flickr.com/photos/comedyshots/sets/72157634014718030/ I’m a professional that has made the switch to Micro Four Thirds in a big way. All I miss is the slightly more instant shutter release and the battery life. The IQ absolutely surpasses my Canon 7D. edshots.co.uk”

Jerry: “Its not a rumor, its bug in Olympus E-PL5 when you shutting photos with hi aperture value (for example F12 in A or M) with flash, the live view shows totaly black picture (doesnt simulate flash). Its almost impossible to make composition… I think the problem also exist in P etc. but its mostly visible in A or M. View on the screen should simulate all conditions also flash should be simmulated. Im still waiting for any feedback form olympus tech.”

Joe: “I don’t remember if I ever shared this, but I shot this with the GH2 and the Olympus 45mm. Lit with a Profoto in a medium softbox camera right out the window, as well as a Profoto in a stripbox camera left for rim. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotosiamo/8731665744/in/photostream/ You can see more of my Micro 4/3 work at http://www.fotosiamo.com”

Here is a short roundup of the new readers mails:

Anonymous: “Mcgillicuddy giving away lighting secrets for free! Free E-book on his site here https://damian-mcgillicuddy.squarespace.com/journal/“

Teun: “I thought I’d share this excellent youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIkJklEiH8E
It coontains quite a few m43 product reviews, it isn’t fast with the reviews, but they are very informative and enjoyful to watch. It isn’t mine channel, or a friend’s channel, I though it would just be quite interesting to the people visiting this website.”

Aki: “Some sport photos  and  gallery about volleyball world league game Finland-Portugal. Shooted with Olympus E-M5.  http://www.akikuvaa.com/world-league-suomi-portugali/ ”

Ross: “For those of us Aussie members, Olympus Imaging Australia shop is now open for accessories. Cameras are still only available through retailters. See this news page. [url]http://www.olympus.com.au/Learn-Explore/Latest-News/Olympus-Imaging-launches-online-Olympus-Store-to-s.aspx[/url] It’s nice to see these items being more accessable than at present, albeit at full price. The main web page has now changed in format with their blog & forum pages no longer there, but that might just be during the process of change being the weekend.”

Edmond: “I sent this to you folks yesterday but guess it slipped through: http://www.flickr.com/photos/terakopian/sets/72157633795304974/ It’s a gallery of images from the Olympus PEN E-P3. Seeing your post today, I thought I’d send it again as I’m sure it’ll be of interest to your readers if it’s posted with the article. Just as some background, I’m a photojournalist based in London. I have a World Press Photo award as well as the title of the British Press Awards Photographer of the Year.”

Anonymous: “I would like to report an issue with the GH3. I have done many tests to replicate this problem, and some other users have replicated the issue after my report. I have created I few videos to show the issue. https://vimeo.com/66920197  https://vimeo.com/67328505 https://vimeo.com/67382669. After increasing exposure of a RAW time-lapse, footage shows color flicker on underexposed areas. I don’t really know the reason for this problem. I have tested both 12-35 and 35-100 lumix lenses, and the problem is noticeable with both of them. This color shift ruins lots of RAW timelapse footage.”
Barbaros: “I took this footage from downtown Ankara in short hours. It may not be the best of its kind but if you are living in a country where press is suppressed you better obtain a M43. Tens of thousands protest yesterday in the city center and I have not seen any single report in media. https://vimeo.com/67476129 For tech savy people this was taken handheld with OMD+Sigma 19 2.8. Superb combo with mouth watering high iso capabilities even though dailymotion compression overshadow some of it.”

Côme: “I just wanted to tell you I have launched a new project recently, Kanchas, a free portfolio-creation system, particularly well-suited for photographers. The idea is to quickly set up a few pages, each of them featuring a big, fullscreen picture, and to browse easily among them. Maybe this will interest your readers and I would be very pleased if you shared it with the 43rumors viewers :) The link is https://kanchas.com.”

Aaron: “I’m not sure if this is where I can send you videos but check out my video with the panasonic GH3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q5PnC-9NAc”

Lee: “Please can you share our new facebook group? https://www.facebook.com/groups/cmountm43/” Editor’s note: Done ;)

Thanks you all!
