Looks like Four Thirds is officially dead

Well, I am really wondering whether they continue to produce FT lenses as they mentioned.

I could see them keeping at producing the extra high grade ones lilke 90-250 f/2.8 , 150 f/2, 300 f/2.8 and other recent SWD lenses like the 12-60, 14-35. The 300 f/2.8 is still rather small.

 

I'm a bit surprised they didn't go more aggressive on the AF side of things and the "smallish" battery is disappointing.

 

Still quite nice, but I think we lost a little something with the camera growing bigger, I just hope they'll manage to shove that VF4 in a not as big successor of the E-M5.

 

The 12-40 is sexy though.

 

Greetings,

I doubt they will do any FT lenses.
