   Hi!
   Can you take some with the 42.5mm on an A7 as well??

     Yes. We will do it tomorrow. But since this lens is a APS-C lens, using on A7 on FF mode will result in vignetting.

       Thanks for the reply. I assumed you would take a picture with crop mode on, just like the a7. The samples look fantastic so far.

         I meant using crop mode on the a7 with the 42.5mm just like you did with the 24mm sample, sorry.

           Hi Dre,

           Since we have only had M43 mounts for 42.5mm available in Photokina, we have used the GH4 to shoot with some sample photos. You may refer to below URL for more sample photos as agreed.

           Thanks and do pre-order to enjoy the discounted offer.

   ePhotoizne reported that this lens is made from 7 lenses in 9 groups, they probably meant 9 lenses in 7 groups, right?
   Will you be releasing MFT tables and overview of the optical design?
   The same applies to 24/1.7 🙂

     Correct. Apologized as its our fault for the typo.

     For the optical design of the lenses, please allow us to get back to you once we are back to China after photokina. Thanks.

   Hi, will you ship internationally for free? And what discount will you offer for preorder?

   •

     International economy shipping (14-30 days) is included for every lens purchase. The price you seen in our website is already the pre-order discounted price. Thanks.

   Hi, very exciting. Was wondering if you plan to release wide angle lenses like 10mm? What would the price be.approximately? Thanks

   Sorry for asking what might be a pretty dumb question, but will these lenses need a certain adapter to be used on a GH4?

     No adaptor is needed. You can use it directly with your GH4.
