dance and fast lenses (GH2 + 20mm 1.7, voigtländer 25mm 0.95, 35mm 1.4, 50mm 1.1, kern-switar 26mm 1.1) from Seb Farges on Vimeo.

I have bad news: The Nokton lens will not be available for the next months! It is completely sold OUT! Cameraquest just updated the availability status: “The new Voigtlander 25/.95’s will be in short supply. Cosina Voigtlander seems to have hit a nerve with customer demand, as orders to the factory far exceeded the first production run. Cosina was only able to fill half of my initial 25/.95 order. My November and December shipments of Micro 4/3 Voigtlander 25/.95 lenses were sold out BEFORE arriving at CameraQuest. My 3rd 25/.95 shipment is expected in February. The factory has not been able to meet the demand. My back order with the factory exceeds my 25/.95 deposits, however I can not predict how many 25/.95’s I will receive in February. That depends upon both lens production and the total factory 25/.95 orders received.”

And yesterday Adorama removed the Voigtländer preorder page…Click here to see….an empty page :)

The only good news that I can give you is that there are a few [shoplink 15659]lenses in acution on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

UPDATE: Now sold out!!!

There were four GH2 + 14-140mm kits in Stock at Amazon (Click here)! Price is $1,456.77 (which is $43 less than the original price). This is the first time that kit lens is in Stock in USA! Unbelievable or not?

Reminder: The GF2 is in Stock at Amazon (Click here) and Adorama (Click here).

After Fuji X100 at Adorama (Click here) also BHphoto (Click here) is accepting preorders on the new Fuji X100 camera (Found via ThePhoBlographer).

Panasonic US has a super deal on the GH1. Take a look for yourself: http://www2.panasonic.com

And Amazon has three interesting lens deals:
– Panasonic 7-14mm f/4.0 for $816 at Amazon (Click here)…which is the lowest price I have ever seen.
– Panasonic 45mm f/2.8 macro for $702 at Amazon (Click here).
– Panasonic Lumix 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 for $543 at Amazon (Click here).

You can now preorder the Fuji X100 at Adorama (Click here). And finally we have an official price: $1,199.00! If only that camera would have a Micro Four Thirds mount! :)

Other US deals:
Panasonic Lumix 14mm f/2.5 G Aspherical Lens for $370 at Amazon (Click here).
Panasonic Lumix 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 for 549 at Amazon (Click here).
Panasonic DMC-GH1 with 14-140mm lens for $999 at Amazon (Click here).

Olympus is as usual much faster than Panasonic in shipping new products. Unlike the Panasonic GH2 (only the silver version is in Stock at Adorama) the new Olympus E-PL2 is already in Stock at [shoplink 19094]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] two weeks only after the announcement! It’s sold by an eBay Powerseller from Hong Kong which has more than ten of them in Stock. And Amazon US has changed the status from “preorder” to “temporarily out of Stock” which usually means that they will have them in Stock very soon.
Panasonic, you should take a lesson from Olympus on how to shorten the rime between the announcement and the real delivery of new products ;)

Pre order the Olympus E-PL2 at Amazon, Adorama, Amazon DE, Amazon FR,
And the Olympus XZ-1 at Amazon, Adorama, Amazon DE, Amazon FR and Amazon UK.

To get a Nokton 25mm lens is almost like winning a lottery! I just found one single lens in auction on [shoplink 15659]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

And there is the updated Olympus preorder list:

You can now pre order the Olympus E-PL2 at Amazon, Adorama, Amazon DE, Amazon FR,
And the Olympus XZ-1 at Amazon, Adorama, Amazon DE, Amazon FR and Amazon UK.

Hurry! I bet the camera will be sold out in a few minutes!
