    No problems so far using any Olympus lenses including the 40-150 on my Panasonic bodies.

    Olympus m.Zuiko Digital 7-14 F2.8

    In NZ. For some reasons the allocated numbers are small so they are flying off the shelves. Funny thing is, ⅔ of the people buying are the Japanese.

    Olympus m.Zuiko Digital 7-14 F2.8

    Believe it or not, the local camera store where I am is already taking orders 3 batches in advance. Talk about flying off the shelves. My order, if placed, can only be fulfilled before Christmas. At the meantime I am not looking for an ultra wide so I am waiting for the white hot prices to cool...

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8

    It has done its best to torture me for the longest time. Time to give it a GX pill. Doctor says that is the best remedy for the Panny-ache. Ordered for pick up later on when I get home in Auckland. Already done. I will have both O and P trinity complete by the end of the year. Looks like...

    Manual Focus Lens for M4/3

    I suspect that is why the new Panasonic 100-400mm is Leica branded.

    Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm F4-6.3

    100mm more than the coming Olympus Pro 300 prime lens... interesting. Hope the IQ is going to be close to the 300mm. If so, it will be a no brainer.

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8

    Hope the camera is out soon to Asia (B&H list as 16 August 2015). Itching to buy a Panasonic camera to go with the Panasonic Trinity that I have. The CA on their lenses when shot on non-Panny bodies is driving me mad.

    [Official thread] Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f2.8 PRO

    Cheaper to buy in Beijing/Shanghai/Guangzhou if you ply the Taobao stores. HK prices have bloated since the hikes in rentals.

    Crazy Pre-order for Olympus Pro Lens 300mm & 7-14mm

    It is just a typical "scam". While you might get your lens eventually, but the thing is, with fanboys, they forgot that they are pretty much parking money with the retailers for months, so they can use your pre-order money for cashflow. If something goes wrong, then it is bye bye money.

    Details on this new lens is pretty impressive. Clearly shows two kinds of steel on two cooking knives from Germany and Japan, and the wood block that it is holding them together. In "pseudo-macro" mode.

    What draws you to Micro 4/3s?

    Cheap. Or rather, cheapest in its class. Any other system that can produce such level of image quality/ hardware quality would cost more. Granted m4/3 is not perfect, but when it does what it does best, it leaves the competition in the dust. Olympus is not called "Leica of the East" by Leica...
