Yes, the titanium finish looks really good, price (body only) is $150 more than the regular E-M5II. That's not bad for a "limited edition"
that titanium finish looks awesome. i never much liked all the silver versions and the black is just, well, black.
those lenses though, mhmm... just like i'd love to have the 40-150/2.8, i'd now love to get my hands on that 7-14 ... i just don't want to pay for it
the fisheye 1.8 i don't quite get... i mean, what's the point of having such a ridiculously bright fisheye? can you even use an aperture like that in a fisheye?
Yes, a super-wide f2.8 zoom was never going to be cheap. The Panasonic 7-14mm costs $949, whereas the Olympus costs $1299, for the extra $350 you get f2.8, full weather sealing, full manual focus control with a distance scale, and most likely better image quality. The 8mm is a bit weird I think, but it will probably deliver something special, such close focus (just 12 cm from the focal plane) and f1.8 with a fisheye must be interesting.
When the 300mm f4 Pro is added, the mFT-system will be very hard to ignore, even for professionals. You have the full range from the super wide 7mm (14mm in 135-format) to 150mm (300mm in 135-format) covered in f2.8, fully weather sealed and relatively light. Ignoring the standard grade zooms this is what mFT has so far:
