The “best” lens you can use on your MFT camera is now the new Otus 85mm 1.4.

This is said to be the world’s best lens for system cameras. It’s the just announced Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 which comes with Nikon mount (Click here) or Canon mount (Click here) at BHphoto. But being a manual focusing lens it can be better used on a mirrorless camera with focus peaking and other helpful features Canon and Nikon do not deliver yet. The real problem of that lens is as you can guess….the price :)

CameraLabs tests the FZ1000 and says it’s the “classiest bridge camera to date”.

[shoplink 48012 ebay]

[/shoplink]

In US it’s still hard to get the FZ1000 but some of them are now in Stock at [shoplink 48012 ebay]Samys eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. And the reason why it’s hard to get is because it’s a damn good camera! CameraLabs (Click here) just posted their FZ1000 review and do write:

Just to recap on some of the other great features the FZ1000 has to offer – 12fps continuous shooting, 1/4 speed 1080p video recording, built-in timelapse and stop motion shooting, 7-frame auto bracketing, fast DFD-assisted 49-area AF, and excellent wifi features. The only things it’s really missing for me are a touch-screen and a built-in ND filter, but there’s still loads of controls and of course the opportunity to mount an ND filter on the barrel if necessary; plus with an electronic shutter option at up to 1/16000, you’ll easily be able to deploy large apertures outdoors for stills.
Sony may have enjoyed a temporary lead in the premium superzoom / bridge market, but with the FZ1000, Panasonic has grabbed it back. The FZ1000 is one of the most exciting cameras of 2014 and arguably the classiest bridge camera to date which naturally qualifies it for a Cameralabs Highly Recommended award.
