Great news to all Micro Four Thirds enthusiasts, we've just got ourselves two huge third party lens makers, along with a professional video equipment company. I wonder how much longer until we get Tokina and Tamron lenses, and Kenko extension tubes for Micro Four Thirds cameras!

Wow, it is real! Well, congrats, m4/3 fans and users! Although no product seems to be ready at this very moment, this is quite a progress and a bit of recognition too! I wonder if more will follow.

Noticing who is already a member, a lot of great companies have never done anything for Micro Four Thirds, so I hope it's different with these ones.

Astrodesign, Kenko Tokina, and Tamron join Micro Four Thirds!
