7am Berlin time
14:00 Tokyo time.

A “titanium” colored paint job on the EM5 ii? WOW!
Plus a 6th or is it 7th M4/3 novelty fisheye lens? WOW, again!
Just what the system needs.
Pfffft.
At least here’s supposed to be a 7-14mm f2.8 announcement… FINALLY!!!
BUT, where the heck is the 300mm f4?
2016? 2017? WOW!
Olympus has a complete line up of underwater gear. Panasonic has rice cookers
I have a Panasonic rice cooker. Really like it especially for brown rice. Autofocus is a bit slow on it…
The Rice cookers feature Fuzzy Logic, a feature also shared by jeffharris 🙂
I bought a Panasonic cordless iron and it is excellent. If only it has a larger sensor, then it will surely burn the competition.
You mean Oly rectal photo probes, right?
I am not sure how Olympus determined a fisheye lens was more important than releasing the first high quality lens at 300mm. I would be very disappointed if they announced a new roadmap with other lenses ahead of the 300mm f4.
That silly fishy lens appeared out of nowhere, long after the 300mm or the 7-14mm f2.8 had been announced.
How about a good quality teleconverter for the rest of us, eh?
The 300 f/4 is becoming a bad joke now. People can bang on about Olympus “taking their time to get it right” but the competition has moved on (The tamron and sigma 150-600s are taking the amateur wildlife shooting world by storm), the current zooms are not good enough and it’s still no nearer launch. The main focus (ahem) should have been on getting that lens out. A big advantage of m4/3 for wildlife is the 2x crop and in the last 5 or 6 years neither manufacturer has realised it, preferring to foist unwanted new kit lens and fisheye models on us. That end of the range is very well served already!
Might be better off just getting the Kipon adapter (look it up on youtube – impressive!) and the Canon 300 f/4 at this rate. Performance will be good enough and price lower. Plus they actually exist.
Yeah only my opinion, I know, but three years of waiting for a long promised wildlife lens (combined lens rumours from both manufacturers) wears the ol’ patience particularly thin, plus manual focus legacies is not where I want to be any more…..
$1299 for the 7-14 and $999 for the 8mm. What is a DSL lens element?
