[/shoplink] According to a new 43rumors source: “Tokina will introduce at PMA (CliQ) 2011 two autofocus lenses for the m4/3 mount. The first one will be a 17/2.0 or faster pancake. The second one will be a 8-16mm/3.5-4.5 or faster. Both lenses will feature internal focusing and a build quality similar to the excellent [shoplink 19059 ebay]Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8[/shoplink]. OIS and linear motor is under consideration as Tokina is out-sourcing, as usual, the technology to contractors. Price range is about 25% less than similar offerings from [shoplink 14798]Olympus (17/2.8)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 14822]Panasonic (7-14/4.0)[/shoplink].”
See and read the specs of the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 on [shoplink 19059 ebay]eBay[/shoplink] or Amazon.
P.S: Thanks to the anonymous source! I owe you a beer for that ;)

[shoplink 17361]Panasonic GF2[/shoplink] review by Digitalrev
[shoplink 17163]Olympus E-5[/shoplink] review at foto.lt [shoplink 16254]Panasonic GH2[/shoplink] in Africa (Panasonic.net) [shoplink 16254]GH2[/shoplink]: Magnified focus with legacy lenses (m43photo.blogspot). [shoplink 17361]Panasonic GF2[/shoplink] test at DCview.Look at that photo at Flickr. It looks like the Olympus E-PL2 “could” have some red dot issues. Did you find more pictures showing the same issue?
[shoplink 18844]Olympus EPL2[/shoplink] Review, first installment (Kirk Tuck)The E-PL2 is in Stock at [shoplink 19094]eBay[/shoplink] and “almost” in Stock at Amazon DE. Pre order tare available at Amazon, Adorama, Amazon FR,
Don’t make fun of me because of that baby-graph I posted here :)
We posted so many rumors that it’s good to post a visual summary of what could be coming soon. Keep in mind that those are rumors. Some of them may be true, some will change and some of them may be turn out to be false. But one thing I can tell you. Panasonic and Olympus will very soon announce MANY new Micro Four Thirds products. Just curious…
Loading ...
You can now preorder the Fuji X100 at Adorama (Click here). And finally we have an official price: $1,199.00! If only that camera would have a Micro Four Thirds mount! :)

Olympus is as usual much faster than Panasonic in shipping new products. Unlike the Panasonic GH2 (only the silver version is in Stock at Adorama) the new Olympus E-PL2 is already in Stock at [shoplink 19094]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] two weeks only after the announcement! It’s sold by an eBay Powerseller from Hong Kong which has more than ten of them in Stock. And Amazon US has changed the status from “preorder” to “temporarily out of Stock” which usually means that they will have them in Stock very soon.
Panasonic, you should take a lesson from Olympus on how to shorten the rime between the announcement and the real delivery of new products ;)
Pre order the Olympus E-PL2 at Amazon, Adorama, Amazon DE, Amazon FR,
And the Olympus XZ-1 at Amazon, Adorama, Amazon DE, Amazon FR and Amazon UK.
