First GH5s vs Sony A7sII comparison by IR: “GH5S looks slightly better than the A7S II”

Preorders:

Imaging Resource compared the new GH5s vs the A7sII:

“At both 12,800 and 25,600, the GH5S looks slightly better than the A7S II at the same ISOs, which is both unexpected and subjectively highly impressive for a camera featuring a sensor that is a fraction the size of the other.
A sensor significantly smaller than the full-frame A7S II is beating that camera in low-light performance. I never thought I would see the day. With these test results, it’s hard to argue that the GH5S is not the new king of low light.”

Olympus 17mm f/1.2 PRO review by Robin Wong: “of the three F1.2 lenses this is my personal favourite”

Robin Wong posted the full review of the new Olympus 17mm f/1.2 PRO lens on Ming Thein’s site:

The Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm F1.2 PRO changed my perspective of working with this focal length, especially considering I did not expect to fall in love with this lens.

The lens is incredibly sharp even when shooting wide open. The sharpness is uniform from edge to edge. The bokeh is beautiful and soft, resulting in pleasing and natural looking images. Technical flaws are well controlled with no noticeable distortion, minimal chromatic aberration and good flare control. AF is speedy and reliable. the lens just works and it exceeded my expectations.

Of the three F1.2 lenses, I am surprised to conclude that this 17mm F1.2 is my personal favourite.
