Re: OT - Olympus does it right
I really like the PENs but I should spend some money on lenses and not bodies. The E-P2 will make due for now. Sigh. -Original Message- From: Godfrey DiGiorgi Sender: pdml-boun...@pdml.net Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 10:27:52 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: OT - Olympus does it right The new Pens look very good, but it's the lens announcements that pique my interest. Fast 12 and 45 mm, add the new Summilux 25mm from Panasonic, and they now have my preferred lens kit in hand. All they need beyond that, in addition to the existing FT/mFT macro lenses, is a fast 85mm ... for me, anyway. I fully expect the next pro-grade body from Olympus following the E-5 to be 100% compatible with Micro-FourThirds lenses as well as FourThirds SLR lenses. That will most likely have built-in an even better EVF than the current Olympus VF-2 option. That's what I'm waiting for before doing any expansion of my Olympus system gear.

Re: OT - Olympus does it right
Currently this looks like the evil camera to get if you want one. I checked out the preview, and everything about it looks like Olympus got it really right this time.

And that snap manual focus thingy they added -- sexah. But I played around with the high-ISO image comparison tool there and found that the body with the best processing (don't over-soften) appears to be the Fuji X100. Damn them for that fixed medium wide-angle. -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
