Tokina 135mm T1.5 Micro Four Thirds Cine lens at BHphoto.

It’s huuuuuuge!

Imaging Resource field tested the Olympus 12-200mm lens. The conclusion:

The Olympus 12-200mm f/3.5-6.3 lens continues a long tradition of impressive and versatile lenses in Olympus’ Micro Four Thirds lineup. It’s not the best-performing lens I’ve ever used, but it can produce good images across its entire focal length range, as long as you understand its limitations at longer focal lengths. Further, it offers a zoom range you simply don’t often find in a single lens. With one optic, you cover everything from landscapes to wildlife and everything in between. Plus, the lens can focus quite closely, allowing it to act as a pseudo-macro lens. For the price, you get an incredible amount of versatility and generally impressive performance.

The Olympus 12-200mm is in Stock for the first time at GetOlympus, Adorama and Bhphoto

The Olympus EM1 Mkii is now the camera I shoot video with for most of Kinotika thanks to a huge firmware update! I have noticed that not many people are talking about this camera on YouTube and I really want to share my thoughts on this amazing camera. Even though the Olympus E-M1 mk2 is a bit old by now…the new V3 firmware breathes new life into it…making it one of the best all-around video/ photo hybrid cameras out there in my opinion!

This actually refers to telecentric lens design, meaning having the optics designed in a way that the light will hit the sensor more linearly without too much straying off, and this was already adopted by Four Thirds system lens mount in 2003! Yes, Olympus and Panasonic that started the Four Thirds DSLR system, with Olympus releasing their first DSLR Olympus E-1 in 2003 alongside their first fully realized telecentric design lens, Zuiko Digital 14-54mm F2.8-3.5. These technical concerns and approach to optimize lens mount and subsequent optical design have been fully implemented by Olympus and Panasonic’s Four Thirds system 16 years ago. 16!

Jordan cheated on the GH5 and tested the new S1H :)
