Happy to eat my words about the Touit 12mm

Olympus is attacking Panasonic is it? Hahaha.. first a super sharp 25mm f1.8 now a 7-14mm f2.8

I hope it's a typo, but according to this article, the lens is only scheduled to ship 2015?
That's a really big Osbourne Effect for all wide angles in this year, haha!

Wonder if this will give Panny some impetus to update their 7-14 (announced in Mar 2009) by then ;p

 

[Bamboopictures]

Likely. Panasonic is in a slightly better shape financially than Olympus.

In a blink, and CP+ 2015 is round the corner!
Hopefully, we'll finally see the Oly 7-14mm f2.8

It's getting nearer ... already in Feb 2015...

Sneak peek at the 7-14mm. Smaller than I expected which is a good!
75mm 1.8 looks super-tempting too!

Thanks Rodney, what is your rough guess of the price & availability date in S'pore ?

75mm 1.8 looks super-tempting too!

It's one of the best m4/3 lens that I owned !

 

[Bamboopictures]

No firm shipping dates or pricing yet for 7-14mm. Expected mid-2015 for now. The Mzuiko 9-18mm is already about SGD 900 so you can project way upwards from there.

About time ... after their announcement which seems like ages ago ...

But still no pricing ... also no pre-order by Olympus Singapore ...

Oh well another 2 more months to go ...

Question is, how much will it retail in S'pore and when will it reach us ? :dunno:
