Here are three new videos you can see: 1) Konstantin Syomin (Click here) won the international Documentary Challenge in Toronto with a movie shot with the GH2! 2) Living the dream teaser at DVXuser (Click here). 3) And here is the long text sent me by Luke: “I wanted to let you know about a film that I made on the GH2 that is currently touring festivals and also available online during a limited internet-only pre-release via a partnership with the website Prescreen.

Panasonic 7-14mm discontinued. New OIS version coming soon?
43 Rumors15 May 2012 | 9:38 amLong time ago trusted sources told me that Panasonic had the plan to upgrade the current Panasonic 7-14mm f/4.0 lens. The day may be close that this will happen because the lens just got discontinued at BHphoto (Click here to check). And only a bunch of them are in Stock at Amazon (Click here to check). The trusted sources told me Panasonic developed a OIS (lens stabilized) version of the lens. Let’s see if the rumored May 21th announcement turns out to be real (reminder, this is a rumor coming form external websites!). -

I have to laugh, sometimes, when people talk about cameras.
The Visual Science Lab / Kirk Tuck14 May 2012 | 7:37 pmThey think everything should be sharp, like the images of earth from outer space. But remarkably, the images most people seem to like don't really have much to do with sharpness or lack of sharpness. The real parameters seem different. People are engaged by subject and, with life documented sharply and accurately twenty four hours a day they may be more interested in photography that's an interpretation of a thing instead of it's literal molecular construction. Both of these images are of a green chair. The second image totally describes the chair. The first image… -

(FT2) 75mm f/1.8 lens for $799? Coming on June 18th?
15 May 2012 | 5:01 amOur trusted sources already told us that Olympus is sending out the 75mm f/1.8 lens for testing. Now a new source said that the lens will cost around $799 and be released on June 18th! As you know Olympus states that this is the “highest imaging performance M.Zuiko” lens. So it’s actually better than the Olympus 12mm f/2.0 and has the same price. Not bad! As I told you a price like that is very good if you compare it with similar lenses like the Canon 135mm f/2.0 (Click here) and Nikon 135mm f/2.0 (Click here) and the Sigma 150mm (Click here)!

Haven't digital cameras just gotten good in the last five years?
15 May 2012 | 4:49 pmI buy into the hype as often as everyone else. I get convinced that a camera like the D800 or the newest Canon is an amazing leap forward and that I'll need to rush right out and get one or my competitors will trample me into a puddle of non-commercially dysfunctional goo and my career will grind to a bitter halt. I'll be the Willy Lohman of photography. I guess this insecurity with our cameras comes from many of us regarding them as little computers, bound intractably by Moore's Law. That every 18 months the value, speed, coolness and everything else about new cameras will… -

Portraits. Light. Engagement.
14 May 2012 | 7:22 pmPortrait of Sarah after a swim. Years ago, before people got so serious and so busy, I would often ask my friends to come over to the studio and stand for a quick portrait. One day I asked my friend, Sarah, who is a painter. She makes art for a living. And she swims for the joy of it. I used two lights. One was a big softbox, mounted up high. The other was a small softbox just behind Sarah, illuminating the background. The camera was a Hasselblad with a 150 or 180mm lens. ISO 100 black and white film. I never ask people to smile. I ask them to… -
