Noted on all accounts, about the current line-up, and now the Noktron f.95. But I want an IS camera with a pancake 12mm and/or 14mm. I can live with f1.7 to f2 easily, but again with IS. I'm used to having layers of equipment, cameras or lighting, in order to handle most shooting situations. So another system is no problem. I think with time, these new 4/3 boxes will mature to the level of the image needs of the market place. probably the same way the 35mm commercially displaced the 120, and the 120 having displaced the 4x5. Until then, I can wait. Which might be another week, or another year. S.d.
