CP + 2022 Pacifico Yokohama Venue Event Cancellation
The Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA: Chairman Shigeki Ishizuka), a CP that was scheduled to be held for four days from February 24th.+2022 Pacifico Yokohama Venue Event has been canceled and it has been decided to hold it online alone.
CP+2022 is an event to be held in the Corona disaster, with “safety and security of visitors and exhibitors” as the most important matter, and on the premise of taking thorough safety measures, we aimed to hold a hybrid between the Pacifico Yokohama venue and online. We have been preparing.
However, due to the rapid expansion of Omicron strains since the beginning of the year, the number of infected people and close contacts is increasing rapidly, and the supply of antigen test kits is tight, which is hindering safe event management. In addition, looking at the current infection situation, it is unlikely that the number of infected people will decrease significantly by the end of February, and it will be unlikely that the event will be held safely and securely. The psychological anxiety of the people is in a situation where they cannot be wiped out.
As the organizer, I have always kept an eye on the corona infection situation and took all possible measures, but I give top priority to the safety and security of visitors, exhibitor staff, and all other people involved in the event. As a result, CP in this situation+We decided that 2022 should not be held in real time, so we decided to cancel the Pacifico Yokohama venue event and hold it online alone.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to many customers who have been looking forward to the event at Pacifico Yokohama for the first time in three years, but we appreciate your understanding.
We also sincerely apologize for the announcement of the cancellation just before the event.
You can continue to enjoy online events with your registered ID and password.
We look forward to your participation in the online event.

20mm f/1.4 at BHphoto. Adorama. GetOlympus.
Lenstip tested the lens and concluded:
I admit that, while writting this summary, my feelings were mixed. On the one hand the OM System M.Zuiko Digital 20 mm f/1.4 PRO is a shapely, well-put-together, weather-sealed lens that is able to provide excellent image quality in the frame center and moderate vignetting. Its autofocus performance is also beyond reproach. On the other hand the lens had many average results in different categories of our test and two painful slip-ups, quite unexpected in an instrument of such a type. I especially can’t understand why a standard lens with 11 elements inside, four of them made of low dispersion glass, deals just moderately well with both types of chromatic aberration.

What is Bracketing And HDR on my Camera? (ThatMFTguy).
Plenty of news on the facebook OMD group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.
I still have no reliable specs on the new OMD camera that will be announced on February 24th. All I got from “other” sources is that it might uses a new 24mp BSI non-stacked sensor. Sounds odd the camera uses a “non-stacked” sensor. Moreover Sony has a 21MP stacked fT sensor ready for use:
Don’t know what sense it would make to go for a 24mp non stacked sensor…
