Harry Styles And Kendall Jenner Back Together Rumors Persist
The romance between Kendall Jenner and One Direction's Harry Styles seems to be blooming once again as the stars were spotted on a dinner date at Ysabel in Los Angeles last week. The on again off again relationship between Jenner and Styles had taken a back seat after the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star was linked with Jordan Clarkson and A$AP Rocky.
The rumoured couple was earlier spotted enjoying a Caribbean holiday together earlier this year.
According to an onlooker, the model appeared to be very happy and was 'beaming' at the dinner date in L.A. with Styles. A source close to the couple revealed that following their brief split, Jenner and Styles are trying to spend time with each other once again.

"They're rekindling their old romance and Kendall's so excited and happy about it," the People Magazine quoted the source as saying. "She's always cared about Harry."
Speaking of their New Year vacation, a source said that although the couple met a few years back, things never got serious between them.
"He has thought all along that Kendall is hot and was sort of just waiting for a chance to spend more time with her again," the source said.

The two were first linked in 2014 when they were spotted on a dinner date and at the Mammoth Mountain in California. However, Jenner admitted being old-fashioned when it comes to dating and loves to be pursued.
"It's not that I'm scared of asking a guy out or showing him that I like him, it's just that I'd much rather be pursued," the Mail Online quoted her as saying. "I definitely like the chase and the feeling of being wanted."
She added, "And, the way I see it, if a guy isn't going to put in the effort and ask me out, then the relationship probably won't work. It would be a waste of time for me. Call me a little old-fashioned, but it's just what I like!"
Harry Styles' One Direction band has gone in to an extended hiatus and it appears that the singer now has a lot of time to pursue Jenner.

It is hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone so rapidly. I had a wonderful Christmas with my family and am looking forward to spending New Years Eve with them. I can't remember the last time we as a family celebrated the New Year arrival. I am usually in bed:) fast asleep before that midnight hour.
Yesterday I was out and about a bit as I have been staying pretty close to home. Colleen was in Cali with that new beautiful Granddaughter of hers so it was just Kim and I to hook up at Mystic Paper so we could check out the sale. Lots of goodies on sale and lots seem to find their way into my bag. Not quite sure how that happened. We were able to catch up with Kim and Rick, Jennifer is out of town for the holidays and Ellen. Oh ya Congrats Ellen beautiful ring!!!!!!
We had planned lunch a Sweetcakes but they were closed (go figure on a Sat no less) so we ate at Mangos. Yummy yummy yummy Mexican food. After lunch I headed back home to put those new papers I had purchased to good use
I have been playing all weekend with my new lens so here are a few pics of my practicing. They say practice makes perfect and boy do I have a lot of practice to do. Unfortunately I waited too long to take pics of my album I put together last night. So the lighting is pretty bad but you get a general idea. It is a replica of the Christmas album we did at Kim's house for Joyeux Affaire the first weekend of Dec.I used mainly Cosmo Cricket papers for this album which is much more me.
All of these pics are with the new lens and ya I know I need practice but I am having fun. It is a snap deleting the bad photos off the camera :)

Mobile bingo is big business and online bingo sites are expanding all the time to offer mobile versions of their games as popularity and demand continue to skyrocket. We are delighted to bring you news of yet another mobile bingo release and it's a big one. United Bingo will be releasing four of its online bingo sites for mobile and bringing out an entirely new casino site for mobile players.
It makes sense that bingo has proved such a success on people's mobiles – it is a quick and exciting game that offers games with a range of lengths and costs. United Bingo has identified the players' love for the game and has according announced the release of Moon Bingo, Gossip Bingo, Robin Hood Bingo and Polo Bingo on mobile.
All of these sites are currently available as online versions, but to increase the time and places players can access their favourite games, United Bingo has decided to make them all mobile friendly. So we thought we'd check each of these sites out and below you'll find what we think is the best feature of each.
The exciting new Moon Games site is a casino with over 200 slots and games available. The big draw of Moon Games (apart from the tides) is that it has a £1500 welcome bonus to help make new players feel at home.
The cousin of Moon Games is Moon Bingo. The best thing we could see about this bingo site is the £2000 that can be won every night in their '3ree 4 Free' Room; basically, you can enter for free (as long as you deposit £10 into your account), and you can stand to win up to £2000!
Polo Bingo offers players a little glamour. With a range of bingo rooms offering great games and a few slots thrown in to boot, there's something for everyone. As part of the £1000 welcome bonus, players can enjoy a 200% bonus on their first deposits of up to £200.
We absolutely love the community vibe at Gossip Bingo. Regular readers will know how highly we value casinos that get involved with players and bring people together. At Gossip Bingo, this is exactly what they do: there are great chat rooms with very attentive chat hosts, who really keep the conversations flowing. Players can also enjoy little bits of celebrity gossip that the hosts bring them from time to time.
Just like the eponymous hero and his band of merry men, it's all about loyalty at Robin Hood Bingo. If you simply log into your account every day, you're set to enjoy a load of free coins to play with; these can also be earned by players bringing their friends along to play. Faithfulness and camaraderie – all seems pretty much right for the men in tights.
To top it all off, United Bingo's bingo sites all offer a great array of bingo games and a ton of slots.
Even the United Bingo's CEO recognised the importance of mobile gaming: "Considering mobile gambling has seen a huge increase in the last year, we are very pleased with the launch of our new acquisition and retention channel". We think all mobile players should be looking forward to enjoying an even wider choice of mobile bingo sites. Don't forget, more sites means more competition between sites, which usually results in great promotions and offers for players. Keep your eyes peeled!

In this speed-obsessed, quick-fix world, it has become almost normal to expend the minimum amount of effort, in business and in life. But that approach is never quick, and usually makes things worse. If you make a mistake, admit it. Don't try to blame someone else. If you are the boss, don't treat that mistake as a disaster that requires that someone be fired. Instead, treat it as an opportunity to take a very close look at your entire process. It may seem preferable to worry only about immediate problems. Is that really better, and cheaper, than going through every bit of your business, top to bottom, to make sure everything is working properly? An underlying, fundamental problem rarely has just one cause. Try linking the various pieces of that fundamental problem. Don't focus just on today; look at tomorrow, too. Will fixing Problem X now lead to other big problems next month, or next year? Naturally, the devil is in the details. Be willing to see things in a new light. Preparation ahead of time, being ready for anything, will help keep problems from rearing their ugly heads. Don't be afraid to collaborate, especially with someone who has a different field of expertise. A different set of eyes may be just what is needed to solve your problem. There are times when crowdsourcing is the best place to go for an answer to your problem. Don't underestimate the power of games to solve problems. Meant more for groups than individuals, this is an excellent book. It is very thought-provoking, and is recommended for everyone.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s, at the height of make-it-quick processed foods and the birth of the home personal computer (so fast! so amazing!). And while my parents did things mostly the old-fashioned way, slowly and from scratch, I was born with a desire to see things happen quickly. It wasn't that I wasn't willing to work for it, it's just that I thought if i worked REALLY HARD, I could get to my goal FASTER. But that isn't always the case. In fact, in most cases, working harder and faster does not help you achieve your goal. I'm 41 and I'm just now starting to GET IT. When I picked up this book, The Slow Fix, I knew it was the right time to read it. I knew that I had finally reached a point in my life when I could actually absorb what this book had to offer. The subtitle is correct. Solve problems, work smarter, and live better in a world addicted to speed. The examples and people that Honore details in this book are amazing. From turning around a failing inner-city school in Los Angeles; to creating an amazing rapid transit system in Bogota, Columbia; to changing the majority of a country's citizens to supporting and wanting to donate organs upon their death (or their relatives' deaths); this book was a revelation in understanding the amount of time, effort and work that goes into solving BIG, long-term problems. Honore's style of writing made this book a fun and interesting read. I really enjoyed it. It inspired me to think about how to employ slow fixes in improving my life and my business. This book is a great reminder to think of the end goal, the ultimate goal, and take the time I need to get there.

Additional info for Qualitative Research Methods: Collecting Evidence, Crafting Analysis, Communicating Impact
In addition, new theories (explanations) emerge from new info. Qualitative researchers can reap the benefits of being accustomed to theories, simply because theories function sensitizing ideas that support direct consciousness to significant facts – assisting verify what to monitor, take notes on, or ask questions about. even though theories shouldn't be seen as strict recipes, they supply tips and capability organizational frameworks. do not forget that the subsequent descriptions of theoretical frameworks are necessaÂ� rily short and partial. those descriptions surround Geertz's interpretivism, symbolic interactionism, ethnography of conversation, feminism, participatory motion learn, sensemaking, and structuration concept. certainly, many volumes were written on every one of these theoretical methods – and that i may have incorporated any variety of different theories. accordingly complex readers drawn to a undeniable method are inspired to search out additional assets and examples. Geertz's interpretivism and thick description even though modern students could critique Geertz's paintings for the reason that it speaks in an omniscient voice, or that it overlooks problems with gender, energy, and race, few can dispute that he's a foundational determine in constructing interpretivism. Geertz perspectives researchers as "cultural interpreters" who offer vibrant descriptions that unpack values, ideals, and motion in a bunch, society, or association. As famous in bankruptcy 1, ethnographers utilize their very own interpretation of interpretations of different contributors in their tradition, their aim being to build a thick description. As illustrated via Geertz's recognized study at the Balinese, a cockfight might sound to be a ugly and barbaric ritual, during which onlookers locate leisure gazing roosters hack one another to bits. A "thin" description may perhaps current cockfighting in those easy phrases. yet, as Geertz realized via long term immersion and painstaking fieldwork, the cockfight is greater than a video game, and having a bet on cockfights is greater than how to earn fabric rewards. quite, he came across that the Balinese interpret cockfights as being approximately esteem, honor, dignity, admire, and, most significantly, prestige. yet Geertz didn't cease right here. one other step to thick description is for the researcher to make interpretations of the contributors' interpretations. Geertz learned that, even supposing cockfighting may be approximately prestige, in the course of the fights, no one's prestige quite adjustments. So what's the goal of this ritual? Geertz concluded that cockfights functionality to exhibit, constitution, keep, and reconstruct the subjects of dying, masculinity, rage, and satisfaction: "It is a Balinese studying of Balinese event, a narrative they inform themselves approximately themselves" (Geertz, 1973, p. 447). this can be Geertz's interpretation of individuals' interpretations, and it is helping the outsider make experience of a ritual that, on its face, is violent and incomprehensible. an integral part of interpretivism is interpreting how tradition is symbolically built and reconstructed.

Rovio Entertainment Oy, maker of the Angry Birds mobile games, will cut as much as 16 per cent of staff in its first major firings after failing to replicate the success of the title that made it famous.
The closely held company will eliminate as many as 130 jobs in its home country Finland, Chief Executive Officer Mikael Hed said today in a blog posting. Rovio, based in Espoo near the capital Helsinki, has about 800 workers worldwide.
Rovio developed one of the biggest early success stories in mobile gaming, only to fall behind rival titles such as Clash of Clans and Candy Crush Saga. Profit has dropped and sales growth slowed as Rovio boosted hiring and newer games such as Amazing Alex and Plunder Pirates fell short of Angry Birds' success.
"We have been building our team on assumptions of faster growth than have materialized," Hed said in his post.
Angry Birds became the best-earning app in Apple Inc.'s U.S. store in 2010 and the game's various versions have amassed more than 2 billion downloads. Rovio's revenue, which doubled in 2012, has slowed since as new titles failed to reach top of the charts and Rovio made earlier versions of Angry Birds available for free.
By expanding beyond Angry Birds, Rovio has sought to avoid the fate of Zynga Inc., which relied on FarmVille for much of its revenue. Zynga shares have slid 73 per cent since its 2011 initial public offering amid falling sales.
Rovio has also added in-game purchasing, seeking to emulate the success of Clash of Clans and Candy Crush. Those two are free-to-play games that encourage users to keep spending small sums to speed up their game progress, as opposed to a one-time payment to buy most iterations of Angry Birds. Clash of Clans and Candy Crush hold the two top-grossing app spots in the U.S.
Sales at Rovio increased 2.5 per cent last year to 156 million euros ($197 million). Supercell Oy, the maker of Clash of Clans, had 672 million euros in revenue and King Digital Entertainment Plc, the maker of Candy Crush, had sales of about 1.4 billion euros.
Profit at Rovio fell 52 per cent to 26.9 million euros in 2013 as it hired about 300 new people. Helsinki-based Supercell's owners sold a 51 per cent stake to Japan's SoftBank Corp. a year ago for $1.53 billion. King, which gets its revenue largely from a single game, raised $500 million in an IPO in March. Its stock has lost 43 per cent since.
Rovio's job cuts are a blow to the Finnish government that's highlighted the game industry as a future source of growth for an economy rattled by the slump of Nokia Oyj's mobile-phone business and its paper industry. Rovio said in 2012 it was working toward an IPO.
Rovio took the first steps to diversify its business in 2010, licensing its brand for plush toys, activity parks and cartoons. It's making an animated feature film due for release July 1, 2016, and has produced books and learning products. From today, the organization will be focused around games, media and consumer products, Rovio said without giving details. CEO Hed and spokeswoman Sara Antila didn't return calls seeking comment.
Rovio's chief commercial officer Pekka Rantala will assume the company's leadership at the end of the year, with Hed stepping down to join the board of directors, the company said in August.

Kowa to make three manual focus lenses for Micro Four Thirds
Japanese optical company Kowa - best known for its spotting scopes and binoculars - has revealed that it plans to make three lenses for Micro Four Thirds cameras. The Kowa Prominar 8.5mm F2.8 MFT, 12mm F1.8 MFT and 25mm F1.8 MFT will all feature manual focus and aperture control, and use low-dispersion XD glass and aspheric elements to minimise distortion and aberrations. Other details are sparse at this point, but the lenses are due to be released in summer 2014.
Click here for the Kowa Prominar page (in Japanese)
These lenses appear to be native Micro Four Thirds mount re-housings of Kowa's existing 4/3" format C-mount 'XC' machine vision optics - click here for more details. (Thanks to JayBratcher for spotting this and posting the link.)
You might want to ask this gentleman:
He apparently has a Kowa 8.5mm lens.
There was a time when Kowa made big telescopes (like 10 inch diameter or even bigger). I saw one of their advertisements on the back of the August 1976 issue of Optical Spectra magazine just yesterday. Now it looks like they just focus on making medical equipment, industrial lenses, spotting scopes, and binoculars. It will be interesting to see these lenses' capabilities.
BTW, just in case you don't believe me about Optical Spectra Magazine, because it is difficult to find, check out this guy's (Matt Young's) writing credits:
Adapted machine-vision lenses could be good. Machine vision lenses have to meet verifiable resolution targets, unlike consumer lenses. I've got a very fast Schneider and it's excellent. However, it does cost $2300.
Data sheets indicate 80 lp/mm in corners wide open, and 100(8.5mm) 160 (12 and 25) lp/mm in the centre. Pretty impressive if they meet it.
I am going to picck that 8.5mm if quality is better than Panasoniic 7-14mm. Now I have Samyang 7.5mm fiisheye lens and while its drawn and sharpness is amazing, I hate how it is hard to get de-fishing profiles work in LR and so on.
Please Kowa, add pins to lens so camera can write to EXIF/IPTC metadata what aperture and focus distance was used (and what lens focal lenght is).
I have that glass too.
It is surprisingly sharp and nicely made, too. Icing on cake the OMDs let you easily magnify the spot you want sharp to check focus ... try that with that 1936 glass finder technology.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_single-lens_reflex_camera#Exakta - the FIRST 35mm SLR
Some samples shot with it, here.
Quick poll:
How much time do YOU spend trolling through the CaNikSon forums to make irrelevant "observations"?
I'll answer first : ZERO
As I remember Kowa made a fine 6x6cm camera. It was a SLR like Hassi.. It was used by Pros of the age.
Kowa Prominar 8.5mm F2.8 MFT
Focal length: 8.5mm
Max aperture: F2.8 / T3.0
TV distortion: 0.12%
Angle of view: 93.5° x 11.7°
Minimum focus: 0.2m
Something is wrong with the posted specs of this lens. If one of the angles of view is 93.5°, how the heck can the other corresponding angle of view be only a minuscule 11.7°?
I can see it being 71.7 degree, but for the life of me cannot see how a lens can give you angular fields of view of 93.5° x 11.7°.
Quick, someone solve this, pls.
The lens looks like it's based on their existing 4/3" machine vision lens LM8XC, which gives viewing angles of 93.5° x 77.1°.
So yeah, someone's swapped their 1s and 7s :)
This is now corrected; thanks for bringing it to our attention.
(We actually like to add in small errors occasionally, to give our more-vocal commenters something to talk about.)
Kowa makes truly *excellent* low-distortion machine vision (C-mount) lenses. I could not find better lenses on the market for 3D stereo vision applications, maybe with the exception of some Schneider Optics models costing 5-7 times as much. I hope these new lenses are a success, the company deserves it. (I'm not affiliated with Kowa, just using their stuff).
I see a screw on filter ring on the 8.5 mm lens.
Their industrial version of the same lens (LM8XC) takes 72mm filters
There were also two other Kowa MFT lens prototypes 16mm T1.9 and 50mm T2.1, plus all-black versions which can be seen here https://vimeo.com/79305426
The housings of these lenses don't look like the original 43 Kowas, they're almost a dead ringer for the barrels on the Voigtlander Noktons. I wonder if there's some tie-up on the m43 mount?
I own the three M4/3 Voigtländer Noktons and the Kowas look nothing like them.
Lenses like the 8.5mm are what all the smaller formats lack. You have to go with a zoom in most cases as far as I am aware on m43 and aps-c with most primes being no wider than 14mm. (Unless you want a fisheye)
I once had a Kowa Super 66. The lenses were almost as good, if not as good as the ones on my Hasselblad. They were very, very good lenses. Unlike the Hasselblad, the Kowa's mirror slap was like a bomb going off in your hands. I expect these lenses to be likewise excellent.
very good indeed!
kowa is pretty cool company being making very fast aperture <f1.0 some time ago with large image circle (not cctv size, proper 35-50mm coverage)
and there are more companies that have all requirements to make nice lenses for modern slr\mirrorless but they are afraid to make these lenses?
noritar? old delft?
where are you guys?
we want to see cool stuff to choose from =)
going to their website i don't see spotting scopes and binoculars. i see a manufacturer of high precision industrial and CCTV lenses. so they chose a few lenses off their portfolio which are capable of 4/3" and affordable, put on a MFT mount - thats it. no big invention, no "joining the MFT waggon".
Seriously? You've never heard of Kowa before? http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Kowa
And your logic is?
FT is not the same mount as MFT and also the focus & aperture controls look very different to me. So obviously more than just "putting on a MFT" was needed for producing these.
Especially those wide angle versions would be very promising if the lenses actually deliver high resolution and low distortion as promised.
Kowa is a huge name in lenses for industrial uses (along with companies like Rodenstock and Melles Griot). For example, I have Kowa 42mm f/0.75 and 55mm f/1.0 lenses that were designed for photographing X-Ray phosphor displays.
Kowa has occasionally dabbled in consumer lenses and even made a few cameras, but I suspect this announcement recognizes that folks are now buying micro4/3 cameras for industrial uses. It is shocking how far behind a lot of the sensors in "cheap" industrial cameras are... until you realize that they have a limited market, so it is hard to recover development costs and thus those cameras often have what were good (and expensive) sensors 5+ years ago.
Kowa have been making spotting scopes and binoculars for decades.
This video is shot with Kowa anamorphic lenses - Cinema Grade - PL Mount.
The set you can hire out is: 40mm - 50mm - 75mm - 100mm
So they make a little bit more than just high precision industrial and CCTV lenses...
And as you can see here, Kowa is an official member of the MFT group, so in that sense thay have joined "the MFT wagon".
Not every member makes cameras or lenses for consumer use, though. There are several members that makes equipment for industrial use, for example.
No. These lenses look like they are designed to keep the back focus rays of light as parallel as possible which optimises sharpness, reduces the extended back projection distance to the corners of the sensor and minimises vignetting and CA problems. David Myers: www.digitalmasters.com.au
Is it just me, or do the lenses look too "big" for the stated focal length?
Why not? Makes sense, but...M43? Why commit to that? It has no future.
But these lenses do not seem to cover anything larger than a 4/3 sensor. They cannot just change the mount and sell them as Sony E mount lenses.
Seems logical to me. Kowa is a Japanese company and m43 is by far the biggest mirrorless system over there. It would be sillier to support the other mirrorless with only tiny fractions of the market, some of which with questionable commitments for the future (Sony, Canon, Nikon).
I would only question some of the focal range these lenses cover.
There isnt many FL that arent already covered in m4/3. Theres duplication everywhere, but at leaset their are choices. Thats a good problem to have in a system.. too many lenses.
I would compare these to the Voigtlander 0.95 lenses. 17,25,42
The only one that is moderatley new is the 8.5 lense.
there is no reason why m4/3" should have or have not future. it all depends on its makers though it may be impossible for m4/3" to become a top system.
m4/3" is a place that low performance makers can survive so it's quite natural Kowa starts from there. this is only the start.
"m4/3" is a place that low performance makers can survive so it's quite natural Kowa starts from there. this is only the start."
How do you do this? Come here everyday non-stop to troll DPR?
"Why not? Makes sense, but...M43? Why commit to that? It has no future."
you know future? Wow .. palm reading or tarot?
"m4/3" is a place that low performance makers can survive so it's quite natural Kowa starts from there. this is only the start."
typical unsecured gearhead comments who feel his/her photos are worse than those m4/3 photographers lol
Why wouldn't anyone who makes cine lenses slap a M4/3 mount on them in order to reach a new market?
It's pretty easy to do, if there is no auto focusing involved.
Zeiss does the very same thing with some of their $4,000 cine lenses. These Kowa lenses should be considerably cheaper than that.
Never been a big fan of Kowa spotting scopes, the German companies and Nikon produce better ones, but the lenses may be good. Kowa made some 35mm cameras (re-badged?) and lenses in the 1970's I believe.
Kowa made Kowa six medium format cameras and also its own 35 mm SLR Kowa seTr. I had one of the latter.
I beg to differ @RichRMA - Kowa scopes, especially the Prominar Fluorites, are among the very best that money can buy in terms of construction and optics. Their telephoto lens/scope convertible system ( 3 options from 350mm to 850mm for M43/Sony A/Pentax and those other 2 ) is top notch. As for their bins, the 32X82 Highlanders are the very best you can buy. And don't forget they are number one in Opthalmic diagnostics !
Wow, these will be like the 99th M4/3 lenses with these same focal lengths.
Manual single focal lenses like these must be dirt cheap to make -- which may explain why there are maybe 2 or 3 decent zoom lenses altogether for the Micro 4/3rd form factor.
Those are cine lenses.
Dirt cheap to make? Not if the lens is highly corrected and is made to high mechanical standards. Look at the diagram of the 25/1.8 - that is not a simple clone of double-gaus design. And look also at the distortion numbers. Very low.
Frankly I have no idea what is the target for Kowa with these lenses, but I would expect high quality (which will came with high price I would guess).
The target market is folks who think that buying expensive MF lenses that look as though they were built in the 1950s will immediately transform their snaps into "art".
The 8.5 is the only one of these that might actually fill a partial hole in the range of lenses that are already available for M4/3. Big, ugly lumps by the look of them.
@ Roland Karlsson: "Those are cine lenses."
Which ones? Oh, "those," I see. I guess.
Are the apertures click stopped or continuous, like the Samyang cine lenses, I wonder...?
Strange looking lenses. That military green part is .... unexpected?
It's an unexpected colour, but it's a traditional Kowa colour. I suppose they reckoned it was better to be slightly strange than unrecognisable.
Kowa is a wildly underrated brand. I would expect these to be very good. The last time they made camera lenses, they were great and very reasonably priced.
People don't know Kowa anymore. I love my Kowa 66. Brilliant camera and crazy good glass after 40 years still.
I remember the original slr and 66, and think you two have rose-colored glasses on ;)
I didn't say Kowa made great (reliable) cameras. I said they made great lenses.
What are those dimensions they are listing on their web page - length x diameter?
8.5mm - 239×179mm
12mm - 182×136mm
25mm - 125×93mm
I hope not . . .
You're right, it's the field size at closest focus distance. Here's a translation from babylon.com:
A photography range at the time of the most proximity 125×93mm
The Kowa 8.5mm F2.8 is an ultra-wide angle lens with a distortion of only 0.12%. Remarkable!
However, many m43 cameras, Panasonic in particular, use distortion correction by software, so that quality of the Kowa 8.5mm is not very relevant in practice.
@Frank_BR Distortion correction will be applied in video to all lenses that use it, regardless of whether it's Panasonic or Olympus badged.
Since they are manual lenses, they can fit on the Sony E-mount/NEX as well using a cheap adapter, likely with some vignetting.
There is little need to focus such a lens such as the 8.5. Set it to the hyper focal distance and everything from less than 3ft to infinity is in focus.
m4/3rds lens come in a huge range of choice of quality and price.
choice is good.
The 8.5mm is the most interesting of the bunch.
A telephoto prime would also fill a void, alas not offered.
The 4/3 version 8.5/2.8 is $1245 here:
Nope, that's an 8mm f2.2 C-mount lens, with a M4/3 mount, rated for 8 megapixels. A different beast entirely.
If that costs $1250, who knows what the 8.5mm f2.8 M4/3 mount lens will go for? And will it be for general photography use, rather than rated for video use?
Any samples? I wouldn't mind having a non-fisheye lens at 8.5 and keeping the focus in state. On a ultra wide lens I don't usually have to make many changes to focus anyway.
I agree completely. The problem is even when I set the lens to manual focus on my 9-18 it still changes when removing or mounting the lens since it has the motor in the lens.
Kowa Bunga, Buffalo Bob!
(Somebody had to say it)
8.5mm sounds perfect as long as:
- It's not huge (diameter is OK, but super long is not).
- It has great central sharpness wide open and decent corners
- It's sharp corner to corner stopped down a bit.
- It's chipped
- Has very nice mechanicals (aperture and focus rings)
- Can have a hood put on it
- Can take filters
Yeah, yeah, I want everything . . . .
It's obviously a cine lens (see the geared focus ring..) so:
- it will be oversized and built like a tank
- it will be sharp and will have exact T-stop given
- it will be probably color matched with the other 2 shown here (as in rendition)
- it wont be chipped
- it will have very good mechanical
- it will certainly have a hood a maybe a solution for filters (maybe rear drop-in ?) since these are useful for movie shooting
Dont expect a lens aimed at photographers.
8.5mm f2.8! Excellent!
I only wish the front elements were BLACK!
Oh well, can't have everything, I guess. ;-)
M4/3 users have been itching for an ultra-wide prime… wider than 12mm and faster than f4… for quite some time.
Hopefully the image quality is on par with the Panasonic 7-14mm f4, the Olympus 12mm f2 or the SLR Magic Hyperprime 12mm T1.6.
So, what about the price and shipping date?
I suspect M4/3 users will be lining up for this one!
Kowa is back!
m4/3" is a good place to test water, and since it's more difficult to design lenses for m4/3" than APS-C mirrorless mounts, all the experiences gained can be used to make better lenses for others.
As @JayBratcher said further down these appear to be m4/3 adaptations of their existing C-Mount machine vision lenses.
any differences in sensor have been temporary jitters. same for small aperture 4/3" lenses that they don't have to be that small, they are only intentionally made small and low performance and it's not a nature of the system (though it may be difficult to make f/1.2 equiv. lenses).
In the photographic community, I'd have thought Kowa would be best known not for binoculars and spotting scopes, but for their good medium format cameras, the Kowa 6 and Kowa 66, with lenses of good optical quality. Not quite Hasselblad, but close enough and much cheaper in the days before everyone went digital.
I loved the Kowa 6 camera form the late 1970's. For those too young to remember, it was a wonderful, relatively inexpensive, MF (6x6) Film system camera. I'm sure it didn't sell well enough to make money, but it proved these people were serious about photography. If I owned a m4/3s camera, I wouldn't hesitate to consider something from Kowa.
Great to see some more makers enter the market. Obviously they feel there is a profit to be made.
In many respects, M4/3 is the most interesting and flexible system out there. From the GM1 to the GH4, PENs and OMDs and GX7… plus more than 70 native mount lenses covering 7mm to 300mm (14mm to 600mm - 135 equiv) there's something that can do almost anything a photographer would want. If not, then you can adapt almost any lens made in the past 60 years.
So, seeing yet another third party manufacturer jump into the M4/3 ring is great news!
I can't wait to see image tests of these lenses when they finally ship!
m4/3 is the closest thing we have to an open source lens mount.
It's easy to underestimate what a competitive advantage that can be — but when you consider that Nikon is actively sabotaging the lenses made by (arguably) the most forward-thinking lens maker out there (Sigma) and ignoring the lens needs of its most numerous customers (DX) — m4/3 is starting to look like a very safe long-term bet.
Add to that the fact that 2 companies are building a variety of cameras with fairly well-differentiated high-end target users (pro photographers for Olympus, video for Panasonic).
m4/3 is increasingly looking like the Linux/Android of camera mounts.
"Great to see some more makers enter the market. . . ."
I'm glad also. I just hope having more M43 lens makers in the market will at some point yield competition that moderates prices. Seems as though anything wider than the ubiquitous kit zoom comes with an arm-and-leg price tag.
They look the same except for an added converter lens on the end. Aside from the 8.5mm, I can't see what the other can offer that is not already available.
I suspect these will be manual focus only, and the 12 & 25mm are already suitab;e covered by other MFT glass.
It's nice to see choice and another manufacturer signing up, but these would have to mainly compete on price.
@paul: I guess he's talking about the outside look of the lense. The picture with all 3 lenses. The picture shows 3 identical lenses with just the front a little different. In the 12 & 25mm lense they photoshoped a F1.8 stop on the aparture ring. Thats the only difference seen in the back. It's strange that even the focus distance ring shows the same numbers. My guess: all photohop.
@grafi @kimichiflower - yep, probably just mock ups for now. However, these lenses already exist for 4/3" sensors, but in C mount (industrial / computer vision lenses). They aren't cheap though - I expect they will come down in price for the consumer market:
"Aside from the 8.5mm" ?
That one alone is enough to start jumping up and down imho. The others are a bonus, and all will compete on PERFORMANCE, BUILT and their CINEMA capabilities. Where a consistent outer body for a range of lenses is a huge advantage with external focus pulling equipment etc.

First time physically building...
So I have all these wonderful new parts and no real idea of how to put them together.
Could someone help by telling me where to put standoffs... That is where I am stuck and I really do not want to damage anything that I have just purchased.

More about first time physically building
Picture where the board will sit into the case. If so put in that I/O panel and then you can see where the holes are on the mobo. Then put the stand offs.
BTW... I tend to do this alot so, don't use needle nose pliers and grab them straight down. You start making circular scratches into your case. Instead use a 5mm 1/4" socket with an extension to tighten them.
Yes, all the standoffs must be placed directly under each mounting hole in the motherboard. You should not have any standoffs that don't line up with a hole in the motherboard.
In addition to spending some quality time reading the motherboard owners manual you should read the "Step-by-Step Guide to Building a PC" and "PERFORM THESE STEPS before posting about boot/no video problems!" stickies at the top of the forum. The stickies will help you with putting the components together as well as avoiding some of the most common mistakes.
Yes you're looking at the physical holes in the board. I mean usually each corner has a hole. Then a few in the middle. One in the left-middle.....etc.
It's not like the holes are 1mm apart, they are very specific so you couldn't really mess up. But yes you could short your board if one touched too many contacts together.
And no your manual is wrong, you want as many standoffs as you have holes on your board.
Ok. So. This is where I'm at.. and i'm calling it a night for now.
I need to wire my case fans. I have three. Each one has a short wire that leads to 3 prongs which is connected to thicker, longer wires that leads to two heads, one "female" with four prong holes and the other "male" with four prongs. I don't know what they're for.
My PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016&cm_re=antec_550w-_-17-371-016-_-Product
Has so many connectors and I have no idea where to begin. One connector is massive and I think it goes in the big, white rack on my motherboard. Next there is an adapter that is long and has a bunch of four-prong females on it and one end of this adapter goes in the PSU and I don't know where the other end goes. I'm guessing on the motherboard. Somewhere. the next adapter is like the previous but with a different kind of port.. like a SATA port or something. and then there is this short, simple adapter which isn't more than 12 inches long and has a black head and a red head.
There are two cords that come directly out of the PSU. One, like I said, I think it goes in the big white rack next to my RAM. The other cord that comes right out of the PSU stems into two. One says PCI-express 8-pin (6+2) Now, I'm guessing that is for my graphics card (xfx5770) and the other half of this cord says "P3" and it is two 4 pin connectors...
Someone please help... wiring is the worsttt
I feel so stupid.
I now know the difference between SATA and molex. I have taken my molex pwer cable through and connected all the case fans to to a molex adapter. I have also ocnnected my HDD and optical drive via SATA cables.
Will a 6+2pin work on a video card that requires 6pins? I'll just leave the two extra unconnected?
Yes... the 6+2pin will work and just leave the extra two unconnected.
Read through these two stickies for help and clarification on the build process.

Get info about San Joaquin Delta College air pollution, and registering for elective seminars. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Given the breadth of engineering specializations, you're likely to find your niche, and be able to design a rewarding career. Concentrating on San Joaquin Delta College air pollution, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the environmental engineering department for course registration deadlines, and reclamation program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for San Joaquin Delta College.
Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to public health problems. They are involved in efforts to improve recycling, manage waste disposal, and promote reclamation of contaminated sites after accidental contamination. Environmental engineering technicians carry out the plans that environmental engineers develop, including testing and operating equipment used to clean up air and water pollution. They may collect samples for testing, or they may study the environmental impact of proposed construction projects.
Hydroengineers may be called upon to design municipal water supply systems, and industrial waste treatment methods. Water treatment focuses on minimizing the risk of infectious diseases, and ensuring adequate municipal distribution. In the field of air pollution, environmental engineers work to minimize emissions from vehicle exhausts and industrial gas stacks. To some extent, this may decrease carbon dioxide output, in order to combat global warming. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is one of the principal agencies that work with environmental engineers to protect and improve air, water, and overall environmental quality. Environmental engineering technicians holding an associates degree may earn $48,650 per year, while environmental engineers who have a bachelor's degree earn $79,500 annually on average, as of 2017. Beyond major requirements within the environmental engineering department, you may consider Aquinas College chemistry major as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

I just got a reservation for Friday night at the harrison, where I've been trying to go for some time and where I hear is good food and a bargain. Now I'm torn about whether I even should go. I made the reservation and I was asked for a fax number so they could send me their reservations policy. Weird, I thought, but okay--they don't want to hear "you never told me..." But there's more. You actually have to fill out your credit card information and promise to pay $25 per head if you cancel after 3 pm on the day of the reservation and then FAX IT BACK. I can understand that kind of thing for large parties--but what about taking the damn number over the phone? Oh, and the policy also states that parties of 5 or more are alloted 2 hours and 45 mins. I wonder if they'll kick us out as my mom's blowing out her birthday candles?
These places that act like they are doing us a favor by existing and we should be forever indebted...it's truly amazing.
Is this place at all worth it?
