Aperture -> Need help from Olympus :)

Share

Charles-Axel Pauwels wrote a new app for those wanting to have GF1-E-P1/2 RAW support on Aperture. This app is free!

He just sent me a new email and may Olympus can help us: “Do you have a E-PL1 RAW file sample on which I could do some testing?
Charles.”

Can someone of our readers send us a RAW file of the Olympus E-PL1? Maybe you guys from Olympus? Thanks!

Matthew sent us this email:
“Hi. Thank you for maintaining such a helpful site. I read it every day. Thanks to a post on your site I learned about the leather skins available for my E-P2 from Ebay and I thought you might like to see how mine looks now. I’m very happy with the results…

UPDATED: Aperture doesn’t support your GF1-E-P1/2 RAWs. Don’t worry we have a solution for you!

Share


As you have noticed the new Aperture 3 software from Apple doesn’t support the Panasonic GF1 and Olympus E-P1/2!

UPDATE: Charles-Axel Pauwels also wrote a new app: “This app tricks Aperture into thinking it handles Panasonic GH1 files. To use the Panasonic GF1 RAW Converter, just drag-n-drop your RAW files onto the app icon. It takes about a second for each RAW file you want to convert. ”

UPDATE2: “In addition to the GF1 RAW files converter, I created converters for the Olympus E-P1 and E-P2 RAW files. All three converters are free of course!
Do you have a E-PL1 RAW file sample on which I could do some testing?
Thanks for the blogpost!
Charles.”

Kevin Miller just sent me the good news!
“I have written a couple of apps that allow owners of E-P1, E-P2 and GF1 to import RAW into Aperture
The E-P1/2 versions work with Aperture 2 and 3, and the GF1 convertor works only with Aperture 3
They work my changing a copy of the RAW file to seem like it is coming from a camera that Aperture does support – a e-30 in the case of the PEN’s and G-1 fir the GF1
they are available for 5 euros at

you can read a review of the PEN convertor here

Thanks Kevin! (And shame on Apple!)

DEAL: Panasonic GF1 body only for $599.99. Panasonic GF1+20mm lens with a little more human price

Share

Finally some new interesting deals. Amazon US has the Panasonic GF1 (Black Body Only) in Stock via Third-Party reseller. The price is really good -> $599.99 (and three left in Stock). Adorama sells the same body only option for $799.95!

US citizen are not so lucky with Panasonic stuff like europeans. After 5 months it is still difficoult to find the highly rewarded Panasonic 20mm lens in Stock with a the “normal” price ($399).

At least the price of the Panasonic GF1 with 20mm f/1.7 Lens has fallen a little bit (now $958.00 at amazon via third party resellers). That’s one of the best prices since months on amazon. Of course you can choose to buy it from amazon itself for $899 but the item is not in Stock since….since months :(

UPDATE_
Just received an email from a 43rumors reader: “I keep noticing you mention that Amazon US is out of stock of the GF1 w 20mm. While this remains true, in my experience they fill orders at the low price fairly fast.
I placed an order on the evening of Jan 12. The unit was supposedly backordered for 3-5 weeks. The product page at the $899 price tends to shift between 3 – 5 and 2 – 4 weeks. My GF1 arrived in TX on Jan 26. Very happy to have waited and saved the money.”
