2023 was a slow year for OM Digital and we only got one highlight with the excellent (but expensive) Lumix G9II. I do believe that in 2024 we well get more cameras and lenses and I made a full recap of the rumored gear!
So we just got the very first announcement of the year from Panasonic. They launched this new 100mm macro L-mount lens. There wasn’t much talk about MFT a part of the DJI collaboration with support for MFT cameras. Let’s hope Panasonic will have some MFT lens announcements this year too…
This is the livestream of the Panasonic press event at the CES show. Don’t expect any new MFT gear while there might be some announcement regarding L-mount (100mm f/2.8 macro).
As I reported on Mirrorlessrumors (here, here and here) the market for film cameras are booming. So much that for example my Mamiya 7 had a plus 50% raise in value. I am not sure yet but I think also Olympus film cameras are highly requested. Sometimes I wonder if it would make sense for OM Digital to make a new modern film camera again. And Panasonic could even think about making an L-mount film camera or not?
