Panasonic has introduced some new lens teleconverters that work with their 14-42mm lenses.

And a couple of “concept lenses”. Panasonic expects to expand their lens line up to 20 total lenses by the end of 2012.
The Internet access at the hotel is so slow that I may not be able to post much in the way of much of anything. This was torturous just to get these two photos uploaded.
Panasonic Lumix cameras that can survive anything – water scares my cameras, but does not scare these survivable Lumix cameras:
Well this will stir things up: DSLRs are a dying breed – 3rd Gen Cameras are the Future.
Based partly on comments to the above, might future cameras:
I get what the article and comments are discussing and why but me thinks it is too much arguing about the technology and not enough about the gray matter on the backside of the lens that figures out what to photograph, when to photograph and how to frame it and use the equipment – and make a beautiful photograph or video image.
Ritwika Mitra shows how to build your own dual camera mount featuring an adjustable interaxial distance for 3d stereoscopic photography or video. Ritwika is a high school senior, by the way. Cool young woman! She and her sister are also the founders of the non-profit Rennow.org.
The details begin at about 2:30 into the video. I built this but I also use a fixed mounting bracket that is simpler and smaller. At some point, I will post photos of my set up for 3D.
Last night I built an aluminum 3D camera rig that holds two cameras for either still or video photography. My own interest is in shooting 3D video.
The rig is small, light weight, easy to transport and will hold any modest sized still or video camera. I stole the construction idea from someone else and will pass all that along “soon”.
I hope to “soon” start shooting 3D video with two cameras. With family events, business travel looming, starting to write my M.S. thesis in software engineering, and bad weather, having a chance to put it all to use and test it out may be a while yet!
But sometime in the future, I hope to share some cool 3D stereoscopic videos. Get your red-cyan glasses ready!
