Panasonic has announced a big Lumix anniversary event for October 27th
Panasonic Japan announced it will celebrate the 20th anniversary on October 27th. I am unsure if there will be any L-mount announcement…
For the record: On October 27, 2011 Panasonic announced the “Lumix L1″(here on eBay). it was (and is still) a very good looking camera!
