UPDATE: The official US pricing can be read at Uniquephoto (Click here).

The big and well known German store Sauter posted the full price info for the new Zeiss Touit lenses:
Touit 32mm f/1.8 for 799 Euro (Click here).
Touit 12mm f/2.8 for 1099 Euro (Click here).

Obviously the price is the same for X and E mount lenses.

To get notified when these lenses will be sold on eBay join my Slidoo-eBay website and save this searches: Touit 32mm and Touit 12mm. You will can change the country in your settings. And here is the HowTo to learn how all this works (P.S.: Slidoo Amazon is in the works and will be announced in a few weeks).

The Samung Germany website is displaying the official NX 2000 info. And you can already preorder the camera at BHphoto.

Zeiss finally unveiled the specs of the new 12mm f/2.8 and 32mm f/1.8 Sony NEX and Fuji X mount lenses. They also gave the new range lens a name of a bird…”Touit“. Not really sexy :)
Both lenses should ship in June while a third lens (the 50mm f/2.8 macro) will come in late 2013. You can read all about the new lenses at lenses.zeiss.com.

A couple of days ago a store manager told me how the Ricoh GXR was a nice concept but at the same time “selling poorly”. And today a huge store like BHphoto marked the GX3 as discontinued (Click here to see it). Let’s hope this may be a sign that a new successor is on the horizon. The worse case scenario would be that Ricoh…no wait I won’t even write that. Go Ricoh, show us the new model!

The new Panasonic G6 MFT camera has been announced along a newly updated 14-140mm lens and the LF1 compact camera with fixed 28-200mm lens. The G6 features the same Gh2 sensor but without multiapsect function. This is bad news! I would have loved to got this feature too. Why remove it? Anyway, the new 14-140mm lens looks great. it’s smaller, lighter, faster and cheaper than it’s predecessor.

Specs and Preorders:
G6 at Amazon (Click here).
LF1 at Amazon (Click here).

What’s hot:
The G6 gains considerably improved movie capabilities, including full exposure control, an external mic socket and the sensor from the GH2. It also adds the NFC-aided Wi-Fi for simple remote control and image download that we first saw in the GF6. it has the same GH2 sensor, albeit without that model’s multi-aspect feature.

14-140mm lens is smaller, lighter, less-expensive alternative to the original G Vario HD 14-140mm F4.0-5.8 ASPH Mega OIS. The latest version features three aspheric and two ED elements and an internal focus design with linear stepper motors to make the most of the faster focus processing of the latest Micro Four Thirds bodies (Source: Dpreview).
The LF1 marries the sensor from the LX7 to a longer, slower lens (but longer zoom range) and adds an electronic viewfinder (Source: Dpreview).
