Panasonic's prototype Micro Four Thirds 3D lens and body

[Silversurfer]

And here it is, Panasonic's prototype G-series micro-four-thirds shooter with new interchangeable 3D lens. We caught the pair hanging out at IFA with nary a soul around to take notice. Too bad for them, good for you if you've made the jump to a panny MFT as the lens will ultimately be compatible with your Lumix G micro system... probably -- unfortunately, Panasonic isn't saying which cams will be eligible for the software update. From the sound of it, the whole kit will get official in just a few week at Photokina with a new G-series body playing host to the new 3D lens. Here in Berlin, however, we've got a G2 body with an updated 3D image processing system doing the dirty work. Nevertheless, it was fully functional and produced a reasonable 3D image with plenty of pop that was ready to view on a brand new Panasonic 3D television. Come on, a 3D televsion is nothing without 3D content. Sneaky Panasonic, sneaky.

Have fun taking pictures of ant colonies!

Not necessarely ant colonies. Anything up to a few metres should look good in 3D. You do not need 6.5cm separation to shoot close-ups, in order to get a good picture that does not hurt the viewer's eyes you'd actually need to use smaller separations.
