Tamron has announced that it’s developing an image stabilised superzoom lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. The 14-150mm F/3.5-5.8 Di III VC (Model C001) is poised to become the first third-party zoom for the system, and will offer a 28-300mm equivalent focal length range. It uses the company’s Vibration Control (VC) system to counteract hand-shake, and a stepper motor for fast and silent autofocus. The lens will also feature a metal barrel and be available in a black or silver finish. Price and availibility are still to be confirmed.

Olympus has issued a press release confirming JK Imaging and four other companies have formally signed-up to the Micro Four Thirds standard. JK Imaging announced last week that it would be offering MFT cameras under the Kodak brand. Australian company Blackmagic Design, which already offers a movie camera with a passive Micro Four Thirds mount and is rumored to be working on a fully compliant version, also joins. The other three signatories are less consumer-facing.

A review/test of professional level collection of photos demonstrating everything from slow shutter speed night photos to amazing daylight photos.

Zeiss announces recent 135mm F2 and 15mm F2.8 for Micro Four Thirds

09 Nov

Carl Zeiss has said it will offer its recently-announced Apo Sonnar T* 2/135 and Distagon T* 2.8/15 in the Micro Four Thirds mount. We suspect some of the people willing to spend the $ 2000 and $ 2950 these lenses command will also have DSLR systems, and will continue to buy these lenses in Nikon (ZF.2) or Canon (ZE) mount and adapt them to Micro Four Thirds, but it’s a positive move to see the mount being natively supported.

CES 2012: Panasonic is showing mockups of two large-aperture zoom lenses for Micro Four Thirds. The Panasonic stand plays host to mockups of a 12-35mm F2.8 and a 35-100mm F2.8 lens, prominently badged ‘Concept’ lenses. Next to the models is a lens roadmap confirming the company’s intentions to build a 12-35mm (24-70mm equiv) and 35-100 (70-200mm equiv) ‘X’ grade zooms, but with a note that the maximum apertures are ‘to be determined.’ The diagram appears to suggest both lenses will arrive later in 2012.
