This is a great deal on a great lens (I own this lens). This is the “normal” prime lens for micro four thirds cameras, equivalent to a 50mm full frame lens. And its plenty fast at f/1.7 aperture.

Had not seen this before – 4 image Nimslo 3D photos without glasses
Go to okgo.jpg (1043×2359) on Amy Brown’s web site and use cross eyed viewing to look at these 4 photos of the innovative musical group Ok Go.
The Nimslo 3D camera is an old, film-based 3D camera that took 4 images at once, for subsequent printing as lenticular 3D photos. For a brief time in the early 1980s, this was the number one selling consumer camera!
The 4 images – from 4 separate lenses – also meant that one could select the desired lens spacing or parallax for the subject, after the photos had been taken.

4K/3D/120 fps theater experience, plus IMAX working on VR headsets for theaters
Director Ang Lee is experimenting, and presenting, a 3D 4K 120 fps motion picture, but that version only shows in 5 cities, globally.
Elsewhere, IMAX is working on “theater-based VR”. The latter may begin with short (less than 15 minute) VR experiences in “IMAX VR Centres” located within theater complexes as a separate VR area – but initially as a marketing and technology experiment.
The article notes that for now, a lot of “gee whiz, I’ve got to see this VR thing” is driving interest. But eventually, VR-based content needs to deliver compelling content in the form of stories.
