Panny says the new lens will start shipping at the end of May, but B&H says August 15th for availability. Damn. Hope B&H is wrong. Anyone see any other predictions for delivery?

There's no way this compares to any Leica (the real ones, not the Leicasonics). Leicas are expensive, but you do get a real camera with real (nice) glass. This Hassy Luna is a very, very  bad joke....

If you see any photos of PJs in Viet Nam it's very likely that they'd have at least one Leica around their neck. Leicas were a standard of quality and durability.

No, that's the very old LC-1, a 4/3 rangefinder style camera. The rumor mill seems to think that something similar is coming for m4/3 in the GX2. Viewfinder, similar shape, etc. We'll see...

What really gets me is that Hassy was not  "luxury" camera company. Their reputation was for building highly functional, reliable, and modular cameras that produced excellent images. They weren't...

Yeah, sure, I'm ready to spend over $5K for a NEX 7. Not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fT3BYH6YkIg#!

Maybe they'll introduce a system that's a hybrid and can get IBIS and OIS to work in concert.

Me, neither, but it makes no sense to carry two versions of this lens. The old version will be dropped, if not now, soon.

Kinda, sorta. I did get a Canon 6D, and sold it. I never used it, so off it went. It's a fine camera, but I just didn't need it after the GH3 arrived. I sold all the Canon FF gear and bought a few...

Good info. I've got to believe that once Adobe goes completely "cloud," and won't come back to reality, another developer will fill the void. Until then, I'll use CS6. After that, good bye Adobe....

I have both, and while the 12-35 is a bit sharper, it's not a quantum leap. Where the 12-35 shines is speed, obviously, and focusing speed. It's much faster. Also, the IS is more effective (IMO)....

It's inevitable. Panny has already announced some sensor developments that allow their sites to collect more light, so the move to more pixels will probably follow that. Technical reasons aside,...

Agreed, but it's stupid beyond belief. I'd love to see a single example of how a fan in the stands cost a single pro a sale.

Sigh.... Never mind. I was confusing this one with another one. Yes, this is old news.

Really? Where? These are the first real pics of the LF-1 I've seen.

Damn, another "interpretation" of Downfall! Unreal.

sorry if this has already been posted, but the camera looks pretty...

Not totally. In the font wars Adobe was acting arrogant, ignoring the needs of the marketplace. Today, they are acting arrogant and ignoring the screams of the marketplace. The similarity is that...

For those of you who remember, Adobe was trying to "rule the world" a long time ago with Postscript. They would not release the specification for Postscript so that others could develop PS fonts....

What a load of horsesh!t. After Boston, it should be obvious that *more* photos are needed,not less!
