Dear readers, last week we told you that Olympus will launch at least 4 new MicroFourThirds lenses (That rumor came from very good sources).
Now we have a small update (from a different source):
The two primes should be the 12mm f/2.8 and a 50mm (f/2.0??)
The two zooms should be the 40-150mm and 70-300mm.
In the meanwhile two new Olympus patents do discloses the aperture of the 40-150mm lens + a completely new 30mm-150mm lens:

We are now only two months from Photokina and I expect and increase of rumors and news. I can’t watch all forums and websites alone. That’s why I ask you for a little help! If you find some interesting news and rumors feel free to share it on 43rumors!
Here a little how-to:
How to share rumors and news:
Every little piece of rumor helps us to get closer to the real “picture”. You can keep yourself anonymous by sending us a message using the contact form on the right sidebar. Avoid giving me your name and email adress. Just send me the message. You can also contact us on 43rumors@gmail.com. Only myself will read those emails. I suggest you to create some kind of fake email account so that I can answer you back! Please don’t expect me to post your rumors before I have checked it with other sources. If I would post every rumor I do receive everyone here would get confused :)
Some tips on how to send anonymous messages and images comes form our friend from Nikonrumors:
(just replace [at] with @ and [dot] with .) by using one of those free services:
Anonymous image hosting (upload an image and just email me the link):
By the way, I don’t know if I will be at Photokina. I need a new surgery because of the broken ligament :(
Thanks all! We will certainly have some exciting time on 43rumors ;)

Panasonic G10 review on Photoradar
Panasonic will launch a new 3D conversion lens on July 28. The leaked picture do show the lens attached on the SDT750 camcorder. The interesting part for us is that few months ago we were told that Panasonic was working on 3D conversion lenses for MicroFourThirds. I don’t believe they will announce that on July 28. But Photokina is getting closer…

Forum Olympus France tested the Panasonic 7-14mm lens on the Olympus E-P2. Pleas notice that you can read the review in Français, English and Español (you can choose the language on the top of the article)
SLRclub tested the new Olympus 14-150mm lens. Translation is not available because they post their articles as Jpegs(!!!). But there are videos and a lot of image samples and comparisons.
PEKKA POTKA: Leica lenses on Olympus PEN. Interesting to see the same lens perform on the Leica M9 and then on the Olympus E-P2
