We finally can see and learn a bit more about the new Leica 8-18mm f/2.8-4.0 lens! UPDATE: For unknown reasons Giulio removed the video :(

This is how Kalimero Hueverías cleans his new E-m1II when it gets dirty! Do that with a so claimed “weather sealed” Sony and it dies instantly LOL :)

Photozone publsihed the full Laowa 7.5mm f/2 MFT lens review. This lens is yet not available for preorders but Photozone says it will start shipping out in April. And this ic part of the conclusion:

The primary value proposition of the Laowa 7.5mm f/2 MFT is certainly its extremely small size and low weight combined with a very large max. aperture. Upon unboxing, we experienced one of the few WOW effects during recent years. The dwarfish size also makes perfect sense on Micro-Four-Thirds cameras. Despite its size, the delivered resolution is actually very respectable. It’s usable at f/2 and very good at medium aperture settings. The amount of lateral CAs is decent. The vignetting is very high, yes, but in reality it’s not quite as bad as the numbers suggest because of a relatively gradual light falloff. Image distortions can be visible in certain scenes but they are far from being bad really. Ghostings/glarecan be an issue if a strong light source is part of your scene and that can happen often due the immense field-of-view.

TheCameraStoreTV team just published this GH5 video:

“The Panasonic GH5 has proven to be the most anticipated camera so far in 2017. While we await production firmware, we decided to shoot another Wooden Niccolls episode with our friends at DDG. Check out the process of using the GH5 to try and duplicate a scene from the beloved movie Goodfellas!”

ePhotozine published the full Panasonic GH5 review. The final verdict is:

If you do any form of video work, then the GH5 will be an obvious choice. If you primarily want a camera for stills photography, with video a secondary consideration, and you want a Micro Four Thirds camera, then you may be better served by the E-M1 Mark II, which offers higher (stills) shooting speeds, and a more compact body, whilst also offering 4K Cine recording. Whichever you choose, there are benefits to each camera, both capable of producing excellent images, and we’ll look at the differences in more detail shortly.
The GH5 benefits from easy to use menus and a wealth of customisable controls. For those that like a Digital SLR sized camera, the GH5 will suit, but with the benefit of the latest technology and advances, including 5-axis sensor image stabilisation, a high resolution electronic viewfinder, high speed continuous shooting, and more video features than most of us can possibly ever need. Panasonic has thrown everything it has in to the GH5, and produced a camera that delivers excellent results.
