Ah! An invisible comment! 🙂
Admin, what about the third party lenses rumor of last week? Thanks.
And the E-50 😉
+1
And super 4/3
+1 🙂
I would like to know more about the third party lenses too please 🙂
(oops, sorry for the double post)
Arghhh!! I hope I can get an update for 20mm F1.7 as soon as possible!!
Me too!! It’s too damn slow on my E-PL1!!!
Don’t blame the lens.
I know. But still, I find the Olympus 14-42 MSC and the Olympus 12mm f/2, and the Panasonic 14mm f/2.5, all focusing reasonably quickly on my E-PL1. Only the Panny 20mm f/1.7 focuses like a DSLR lens with a slow DC motor. I think I CAN blame the lens a little… 😛
And the E-50 😉
Admin, there was a new update for the E-5 as well.
Wondering if anyone can let me know which link is the firmware for the 100-300mm. I dont understand how theyve organised it
If I am correct –
I think you do not download indervidual FW for lenses – what you do (deffinatly with oly bodies) is attach the lens you want to update to your camera – then using the camera update software look for updates – your camera AND the attached lens will be updated tot eh latest version….
Again if I am right –
I belive you can update any panasonic lens with an oly body via the olympus software updater! and an oly lens with panasonics updater!
And just to clarify – All m43 lenses correct for distortion on all m43 bodys.
But only panasonic lenses on panasonic bodys correct for CA!… so far!
Hey ADMIN Any roumours on Oly adding CA correction to lenses/bodys?? was a roumour ages ago about it!???
Thanks for posting these links.
Thanks indeed.
The Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 is now considerably faster on the GH2 with the Version 1.1 firmware upgrade.
I also check my other lenses and the 20mm f/1.7 is already Version 1.1 while the 14-140mm f/4-5.8 is already Version 1.4
Great, so the better 14-45 isn’t getting improved!!!
I agree! why??@?!?!?!?!
Anyone tried it already?
the update is only for 4 lenses, the other updates have been released long, long ago
Ah, the 14-45 doesn’t need a firmware update. It’s already ‘HD quality’ – I’ve just read the full article at dpreview (front page)
please can you post a link???
what do you mean already hd quality?
Is it a good or a bad sign when I have three of the four lenses with new firmware?!
I don’t see the 7-14 and the 14-45 update on the japanese official website…is it still to be updated???
No 7-14 update !
