[NEW] Panasonic LUMIX GH4 “LIGHT”

Ben: “I’m running a 2-day workshop for photographers to try out all the latest Olympus OM-D gear, in West Cork, Ireland. It runs over the weekend of the Baltimore Wooden Boat and Seafood festivals, May 24-25.
I’ll have OM-D E-M1s, E-M10s and E-M5s, and all the top Olympus primes and zooms, and Sigma m4/3 lenses. The program includes a boat trip, to shoot boats under sail and the coastal landscape and sea-life; a pass for the castle, whose roof terrace gives the best view across the harbour; a hosted visit to an exhibition of superb local photography; and plenty of time for photography and to enjoy the bustle of the festival. It promises to be a great weekend.
The fee is €215, and Olympus are giving everyone a €60 cash-back voucher for OM-D/PEN purchases.

Anonymous: “http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=161jjb7&s=8#.U1X-6eaSzA4 hi, just saw this billboard in Berlin, Germany. It looks like there’s an Olympus OM-D photography playground exhibit here in Berlin until the end of May. Don’t know if that might be interesting for anyone else here in the area.”

Annedo: “Not a rumor, but I didn’t see a photo of the gm1 and leica 15mm + hood yet. Check the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsJw7CaisVI. At 3:02 there is an image of the combo.”
