For Germans only: Amazon.de has the silver E-P1 with 14-42mm lens or the silver E-P1 with 17mm lens in stock! If you buy one in the next 10 hours you will have it at home on Monday!

The first luck people is trying their third party lenses on the own E-P1. I will give you a little overview!

– The E-P1 with the fantastic Panasonic 7-14mm lens

– the Panasonic 45-200mm lens

– with the Leica Noctilus 50mm f1.0 lens

– with the Voigtländer 15mm and Voigtländer 50mm f1.1

– with a undefinied combination of lens and adapter!

– Olympus E-P1 Leica Summicron 35/2

Feel free to add more lenses to the list by commenting this post!

In the past four months we never wrote a FT1 classified rumor.
Now there is a rumor floating around the web since few days which probably should receive the honour of being the first FT1 (non sense) rumor ;)
Why? Because not a single one of our sources told us that this is true.

Wow!

The only MFT zoom lens to date, the 14-42mm lens

.

Lenstip published an interview with Mr. Akira Watanabe (from Olympus Digital SLR Product Strategy Department).
The lenstip interviewer asked him what kind of MicroFourThirds lenses will come as next and Mr. Watanbe answer was: “We are planning a wide zoom and a high-mag zoom next spring. For further plans, we would like to inform the customers when it becomes possible.”

They still have no roadmap for new prime lenses. So keep answering our prime lens poll! Let them hear your whishes!
