Olympus 75mm ƒ/1.8 ($799) or Canon FD 85mm ƒ/1.2L ($899 on eBay)?
You should look for a 150mm f1.8 lens, if you’re looking for a 35mm sensor equivalent one..
Depends what you shoot. I do event video work with plenty of low light scenarios so the Canon FD 85mm f/1.2L serves me better. If I were a photographer, I’d want AF and want one of the highest performing lenses ever made in this price range, I’d go with the Olympus 75.
Wow, the price of the Oly 75/1.8 has been increased to €1049 (=$1375) now!
Incredible these price differences 🙁
In Holland that is
Available for £639.00 (€750) in UK and they’ll deliver to the Netherlands for £25:

They are not “Brand New”! I bought the lens from CameraLand last week when I saw the recommendation at 43rumors. Although the ebay page declared the lens are opened and demoed, I chose to believe 43rumors’ “Brand New”. I got it this week, it is not “Brand New”, the contact points have slight usage marks, and there is not protective blue label around the lens.
$100 off is a good deal even if it is a demoed one, just do not expect more than the eBay product description!
Thanks for the info. Quick note. It’s CameraLand itself that on phone said they are new and that they are selling them as “Demo” because it’s the only way to sell them for less than $899. I will no more trust phoen calls from now on 🙁
@admin,
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate your efforts on this site and the need to get click-throughs, but searching for “GH3 in Stock” (exactly like this, in quotes, for exact quote) finds 6 pages of this stuff. It is neither news nor rumors for many many months, yet you repeat it what feels like every day, drowning everything else, and feels like spam for long long time.
Please, enough of this already.

Seriously – it isn’t news anymore that a camera that has been on sale for 6 months is in stock somewhere on the Internet. I find myself coming back to the site less and less frequently because of these sort of posts.
Same thing happensd with ths gh2, posts and posts about the inavailability of the camera but then a quick google search showed 4 or 5 places with stock. I didnt even pre order, I just went online and saw one at 17streetphoto and bought it.
But I guess you gotta feed the panny haters with something
Let’s celebrate another GH3 stock notification thread.
It has nothing to do with haters. Moreover, the camera going out of stock is an indication of popularity. The problem is it IS in stock somewhere for many months, so 6 pages of 43rumors posts repeating the same “news” is just tiring.
I guess now we will have 6 months of the same torture with GF6… on slow news day, or trying to promote slidoo, or trying to generate click-throughs to amazon etc… but everything good in moderation.
Here are news for you: GH3 is not only in stock (which is not news for many months), but already discounted, you can get it for 5 bucks off at 42nd st photo:
