Olympus and Panasonic have teamed up to announce that three more companies have joined the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) System standard. According to the joint press release, Yongnuo, Mediaedge and Venus Optics have joined the standard to make products for MFT camera systems.
For those not familiar with each of the brands, hereīs a quick rundown of each. Yongnuo manufactures and sells various lenses, lighting gear and accessories; Mediaedge creates and promotes various video streaming and display systems; and Venus Optics is the parent company behind the Laowa brand, which makes price-conscious lenses and accessories for digital camera systems.

That said, this partnership will likely streamline the production of future MTF products now that the pair have the support of Olympus and Panasonic backing them.
