The Schau 2015 event in Berlin will start on May 29. And the official program discloses two news:
Olympus Sneak Preview der neuen Objektive M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm Fisheye f/1,8 Pro & 7-14mm f/2,8 Pro
Which means Olympus will have a sneak preview with the 8mm Fisheye and 7-14mm PRO lenses! I guess this means full pricing will be released on that event also because the 7-14mm lens is expected to ship in June according to BHphoto (Click here).
And then Panasonic:
PREMIERE! Spannende Panasonic Lumix Neuheiten
It says there will be “exciting” new Panasonic Lumix products! Of course we already know one of them is the G7 camera 🙂
Thanks Klaus for spotting and sharing the news!

I’d pay a lot to have that 8mm fish before my trip next month 🙁
Just buy the Pansonic…$549 at B&H…it’s a great “little” lens!
Paying extra for AF with fisheyes is just silly. If a wide aperture is not needed then the Samyang 7.5 will do.
you are a silly person, who never ever shoot wide angle close-ups
You are a high degree silly person calling silly others that disagree with you. Grow up dude!!!
Hello Robin Hood, how cute you are, aren’t you?
Yes..what make SWA shots dynamic is something or someone “carefully” placed in the foreground..AF is sweet to have even with a lens this wide when you work with close subject matter on- the-fly…plus..my eyes is old..LOL…I can’t rely on them..
Funny, when I’m doing still photography or video work at skate parks, auto focus and a large maximum aperture would help a lot.
Great lens, but I need something faster that 3.5… I need something faster than 2.8… Weather sealed 1.8? I’ll pay just about any price and WISH I could have it now!
Let’s hope they schau us the 300/f4
Funny!…if they do it will just be more teasing… Maybe someday it will be released. I was hoping for this surfing season…but that looks doubtful…
don’t care anymore, cba waiting for it anymore, so i just got a big tuna
forget that…. no way they will release the 300/4 any time soon….
Sneak preview, huh? Hopefully that means they will actually announce release date. 7-14 really should hit the market for summer season.
I’ve been expecting the 7-14mm f/2.8 by June 30 and the 8mm f/1.8 fisheye by September 30.
No news about an EM-1 succesor yet?
If they announce it, it would likely be toward the end of the year.
G6, and *drums* the new 14-42mm MkIII! #gethype
Joke’s aside, the G6 is probably a good occasion for an updated “super” zoom. Does the 14-140mm need an update?
The 14-140mm was updated 18 months ago +/-.
A third version would be unnecessary.
A firmware update to combat some video issues would be good.
How about some long primes instead!
Ah, okay it has been updated quite recently. Long primes, sure why not. But as far as kit lenses go, it must be a zoom. Just probably not a new one.
So the G6 will be announced soon? Good to know 🙂
