    Olympus introduces lightweight 12-45mm F4 Pro lens

    The Panasonic 14-45 is really more comparable to the early olympus 14-42 (pre-EZ). Both are kit lenses, adequate for the job and cheap. The olympus 12-50 is also a non-PRO lens so could be said to be the economy version. Question is whether there is enough of a market for both the 12-40 and...

    developing black and white film

    Why ? Their niche is E-6 rather than B/W but I have nothing but praise for them. The reality is that accidents will happen in any lab. The only question is how well the owners deal with it.
