It is highly probable that Olympus will present an adapter for the use of classic four thirds lens. We received a multiple confirmation from different sources. It will be released the same day as the camera (June 15th or June 16th?). No price info yet.

I havn’t heard anything. And you?

What is Panasonic waiting for? May they want kind of lenses Olympus will release with the m4/3 camera…

Steve Huff wrote a Leica M8.2 review. I would never buy this camera because of the very high price. The image quality can’t compare to the other high-end cameras like the Canon 5DII or Nikon D700. Do not misunderstand me, I like the concept and the lenses but I can’t throw my money out of the window. I would certainly go for an analogue Leica camera or even better for much less a Voigtländer Bessa (to save money to invest in Leica lenses).

Ken Rockwell wrote an article over “The Cult of the Leica“. At the bottom of the article he admits: “This is kind of a sucky article” ;)

Oh and finally some very cheap Leica M9 fullframe rumor at photo.net

For various reasons we are all very busy with our real world job. That’s why we are lagging behind with the “One day one photo” posts and some minor news. We want to say thanks to all the people who posts comments to our articles. We read all your comments but we havn’t yet found the time to answer you all. We will do it this weekend.

Many thanks!

We received our first rumor concerning the body only price. That means the camera alone without the 14-42mm(?) kit-lens will cost you $899.
