(FT4) Panasonic will make a new 25mm MicroFourThirds lens…f/1.4 or faster!!!

Share

The following rumor comes from two very good sources! They told us that Panasonic will launch new prime lenses in Q4 of this year (after Photokina) and Q1 of 2011. One of those lenses will certainly be the MicroFourThirds version of the current

[shoplink 14959]Panasonic/Leica 25mm f/1.4 FourThirds Lens (click here to see that lens on eBay)[/shoplink]!

But there will be a difference…one of our source told us that Panasonic will make that lens even faster! Not by much but Panasonic has understood that fast primes are what people is looking for. I expect Panasonic to release a new lens roadmap at Photokina (September). But we hope to give you more details about the 25mm and other prme lenses before September! :)
Months ago we asked what prime lenses are the most needed by our readers. That was the result:
– 25mm (982 votes)
– 12mm (823 votes)
– 17mm (475 votes)
– 14mm (373 votes)

The Panasonic 25mm f/1.4 Four Thirds Lens is not exactly cheap ($1,099.95 on amazon.com).

DEAL Reminder: The Panasonic LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7 Lens is in Stock on amazon.com for $360.39!

Put a 10.900$ lens on the Panasonic G2!

You are not going to see such a combination very often. “Mister Le” has taken some image samples with the Panasonic G2 (which costs $799.00) and the über-expensive Canon EF 800mm f/5.6 L IS USM Lens (£11,099.00 on Amazon UK)Canon EF 800mm 1:5,6L IS USM Lens (12.568,98 on Amazon Deutschland!)Canon EF 800mm 1:5,6L IS USM Lens (12.568,98 on Amazon Deutschland!)Canon EF 800mm f/5.6 (EUR 12.434,99 on Amazon France!)Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Super Telephoto Lens (over 10.00o$…Click here to see it for yourself !!)Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Super Telephoto Lens (over 10.00o$…Click here to see it for yourself !!)

The funny thing is that he used a 2x teleconverter on it…that makes 800mm x2 (converter) x2 (FourThirds) = 3.200mm!!!
