NX 85mm/f1.4 beta tester is caught!

NX 85mm/f1.4 lens was caught in an event.

Original Korean post in following link.
http://www.slrclub.com/bbs/vx2.php?id=olympus_e10_forum&no=363106

I translated the post in English as usual.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

There was a photographer who was taking a picture next from me and I realized his camera was NX10 or NX11 with 85mm/f1.4 lens .

Even though it could be very rude, I asked some questions about the lens.

The beta tester brought several new lenses and they would be released around July or August this year.

.-.-.-. 1st Picture .-.-.-.-

He demonstrated the 85mm/f1.4 lens to me.

1. It seems to have SSA motor and the AF is very fast. The speed is similar with Olympus E-3 + 14-54mm under daylight. It seems to be slightly slower then 12-60mm lens.

2. I couldn't see any chromatic aberration in the display with max. magnification.

3. The price of the lens is TBD. It will be released around July or August. He came to the show for the final test.

4. He said he is a Canon user, but he will move to NX because he likes 85mm/f1.4 results.

5. NX 60mm macro seems to be simply Olympus 50mm Macro + SSA motor. NX 60mm macro IQ looks similar with 50mm Macro on main display with max. magnification.

Very observant!
Looking forward to the 85 f/1.4... hope it's a winner.

Well if the 60mm is equivalent to the Olympus 50mm macro (I had it for work), but faster, then is a real gem!

People in the forum said the lens in the picture is old prototype.
