Some folks of the Meyer Optik are about to launch a modern revisitation of the classic [shoplink 61146 ebay]Zeiss Biotar 75/1.5[/shoplink] lens. Ans the lens is expected to be available in different mount versions. While nothing has yet confirmed it seems there is a chance this will be made for MFT too. And I bet it will be available for preorder on Kickstarter and sell as usual in a huge quantity (yeah I know it’s surprising)

James: “I’ve started working on a series of videos that cover how to practically shoot and achieve esoteric photographic techniques – burst stacking for long exposure simulation, light painting, astrophotography, portrait panoramas, stacking for noise reduction, and more. I’ve just released the first two videos: Long Exposure Water and Burst Stacking. They can be watched here: https://youtu.be/3wC6w7iCgcM (Long Exposure Water) https://youtu.be/Wgy1sj8ywlg (Burst Stacking) Each video also comes with an article that contains example images and additional tips/tricks – they can be seen at http://www.jamesritson.co.uk/shooting/ For all of the videos I’m using an Olympus E-M1 mk2 plus Olympus lenses (so exclusively micro 4/3 gear). Some of the footage was also shot on a combination of the E-M1 mk2 and Panasonic GH4. The next two videos will be achieving a Big Stopper effect and looking at the use of polarisers.”
The new Panasonic AU-EVA1 can be preordered at BHphoto. The full specs can be read on that PDF file released today by Panasonic. And this is the press text:
Reuters reports that Blackstone plans to sell their 45% Leica shares. And Zeiss seems to be interested to buy those shares. But Zeiss real goal is to become a majority shareholders and that means they would like to buy a part (or all) the shares from the Kaufman family.
If the deal goes through this could have an impact on the Panasonic and Leica partnership too.
