That’s a nice piece of a viewfinder! The japanese blog DC.watch.impress tested the Pentax 110 F2.8 70mm and the Zeiss viewfinder turret
on the Olympus E-P1.
This is the first time I have seen the Zeiss viewfinder on a MicroFourThirds camera. Click here to see some nice images: DC.watch.impress
During the last two weeks I didn’t post many rumors but I am currently working on some hot stuff:
1) Next Olympus FourThirds and MicroFourThirds PEN camera
2) Sigma MicroFourThirds lenses (Yes! can’t wait to know more about them!)
3) Fuji and Olympus partnership rumors (probably a new sensor?)
4) Panasonic GH2 and GF2 news
What I know for certain is that Sony and Samsung will bring some fire in the mirrorless market! Will tell you more about that soon!
If you have some rumors feel free to contact me at 43rumors@gmail.com.
I will keep you anonymous of course. You can also create a fake gmail account if you don’t want to use your real email account.
Thanks!

In March 2010 MicroFourThirds has been able to expand the japanese DSLR sales share and now crossed the 20% barrier! One year ago when only the Panasonic G1
I don’t know if Panasonic and Olympus really expected to have such a huge success when they started the MicroFourThirds “project”.

I just found one single 0,85/7,5cm Leitz lens on Ebay (click here) You do not often see the lens on Ebay. I searched for some image samples of this lens on a MicroFourThirds camera but I didn’t find anything. Probably nobody used it on non-Leica cameras until today.
Some image samples on flickr (on Leica cameras)
