Ending in 48h: MFT Switchlens preorders on Kickstarter (collected over $670k)
You have 48h left to back the SwitchLens project on Kickstarter (Click here). It allows MFT lenses to be used on a device directly connected to the smartphone. It reminds me a bit of the old Olympus Air A01 “camera” (listed here at BHphoto). It wasn’t very successful, so I don’t know why it would work this time around for this idea.

WILD RUMOR: OM Digital developing three new f/1.4 primes?
Will the 20mm PRO get new company?
I got this very wild rumor. I think there is a low chance this might be true…but I surely HOPE to be wrong this time! The messenger wrote:
3 primes in development, all PRO branded. F/1.4s
Focus for OMDS going forward will be more on lenses and less on bodies

Fabian Fopp Review – OM-Systems OM-1 II and 150-400mm for bird photography
Fabian writes:
The OM-1 II comes with some impressive specifications and features, such as 50 frames per second in RAW and with AF, Precapture, an improved animal autofocus, a stacked sensor and much more. But how well does it perform in practice? Is the upgrade from the Olympus OM-1 worth it? I used the camera for a month and was able to take a number of photos of birds in various situations with the Olympus Zuiko 150-400mm f/4.5 TC.
