Two source confirmed that one of the lenses Olympus will announce with the E-M1X in January will be a 150-400mm with constant aperture.One source said the constant aperture is f/4.0 while another said it’s f/4.5.

Panasonic: L-mount partnership is like marriage while with Olympus “we were just living together”

November 27, 2018
Rumors

Dpreview interviewed interviewed the managers of the three companies involved in the L-mount project. Panasonic had quite some interesting thins to say:

“This alliance is like marriage. The previous arrangement [with Olympus] was more like we were just living together. So the obligation [now] is a little more high-level.”

Sounds like theyare not 100% happy with the Olympus partnership! Still, Panasonic made it clear that they are very committed to MFT. When asked if they will develop APS-C L-mount lenses too they answered:

“We will only develop [L mount products] for full-frame sensors.”

Panasonic also explained why they need Full Frame:

“Panasonic’s customer coverage [at present] is maybe more high-level amateurs, not professionals. The new [customer segment] of videographers appreciates what we’ve introduced for movie making, but still there are customer segments that we cannot reach. So the L mount gives us a chance to challenge in these top-end segments. I hope that the L mount gives us a chance to complete our lineup, [by] supporting our current Micro Four Thirds business.”

Lyn: “Weekends are pretty slow, so I have a couple videos that you may consider using. The first is a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4k horror short. It was part of a SOLO contest where the filmmakers had to shoot the movie, act in the movie, edit the movie and complete it without any help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE03AswM8Kg The Second video is the Same Filmmaker with a short one minute essay on why he’s sad the PCC4k doesn’t have an app similar to the Panasonic Image App.”

Marc: “Before considering what camera or lens to use or even what to photograph, there needs to be a creative spark to ignite the whole artistic process. https://youtu.be/OzTbJxGInMM”
