“Normally, this kind of a project requires a sizable investment, both in terms of materials and labor costs. Given tight budgets, anything we can do to save the municipality money makes a difference,” Moore said.

Just like we saw with Sony, Canon, and Nikon there is only going to be a limited number of native lenses available at launch. In fact, Panasonic has only announced 3 native lenses for the S series:

Authored by professional shooters from around the globe, Newsshooter is a place for professionals, educators, students and industry figures to discuss the practice and art of cinema in documenting the real world.

At this point, the differences between cameras isn’t the resulting shot but how easily a particular camera helps the photographer *get* the shot, how comfortable the camera is to the photographer, how reliable the camera is, etc… Not unlike a mechanic’s tools.

An existing propane tank was moved from the standpipes down to the bottom of the hill during the project in order to provide easier access to refill it, requiring a new propane line.

According to neighborhood folklore, our workshop area was formerly a place to trap feral cats. Rich and I don’t ask too many questions about the previous conditions at our home, mostly because we can’t un-hear the stories. And now, neither can you! I’m sorry. Please join me in compulsively monitoring all doors to exterior storage closets to prevent their becoming potential stray-cat habitats.

What do you do when you don’t have an existing mount to use on your new camera? Well, you have two choices. You either make your own or you use someone else’s. In this case Panasonic chose the latter. Leica has had a long relationship with Panasonic, so it’s no surprise that they have leveraged Leica’s L mount for use on their new camera. The mount is the same mount that can be found on Leica’s SL cameras. If you aren’t familiar with the Leica SL, don’t worry, it wasn’t a very successful camera. Despite having a full frame 24 MP CMOS with 4000 × 6000 pixels with a pixel pitch of 6 × 6 µm² on an active surface area of 24 × 36 mm, a very good electronic viewfinder and shutter, the SL was a sales disaster. Not only was it very expensive ($5995 USD), but the price of the lenses put many a potential customer off. The SL lenses ranged in price from around $4700 USD all the way up to $6395 USD.
