William Optics has launched a new Redcat 250mm f/4.9 lens on Kickstarter. The lens can be used on MFT cameras too althaugh this is only a manual focusing lens:

From the beginning, the goal was to create the best possible design for an affordable, small, lightweight, and fast Apochromatic refractor for astrophotography needs. The unique optical design includes the highest quality glass for the best possible color correction and flat-field. The result is a 51mm objective lens, in a sleek Petzval design, for a full frame flat field image. The optical quality provides for exceptional performance at a fast focal ratio of F/4.9.

Plenty of news on the facebook E-M1II group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.

DC.watch reported about the Olympus Japan press event. A couple of notes:

– The E-M1X is not the E-M1II successor. The E-M1 line will continue independently from the E-M1X line.
– Also the E-M5 and E-M10 line will continue
– Olympus repeated their focus on MFT because of the flexibility and mobility advantage

DC.watch also posted this video showing the impressive new stabilization system:

This is the first Panasonic 50mm f/1.4 S real world review. A stunning performance! (L-rumors).

Anonymous: “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0Zp2scrGdw. Shot this on the GH5 in 1080 natural on request from the editor.”

Kevin: “https://vimeo.com/316211177. Shot all handheld with the powerful GH5S in 4K 60P DCI 10 Bit Pro Res LT to the Atomos Shogun Inferno. Captured in V-Log L and color converted to the Alexa Color Science with the Emotive GHAlex(a) process. This resulted in soft, pastel like coloring, and a smooth highlight roll off in the specular highlights. The grading is imperfect due to time constraints, but should serve as a testament to what these cameras are capable of!”
