Patrick Tomasso tested the $35 Fotoasy 35mm f/1.7 C-mount lens on the Panasonic G85:

One of my favorite reviewers is Youtuber Wolfcrow. And this is his take on the GH5 with firmware 2.1

Tested’s senior producer Joey Fameli tests the Panasonic GH5 and GH5S cameras! Using both of these for various video productions, Joey shows how these micro four thirds cameras perform in studio and on location, operating handheld. Here’s why Joey love using these cameras to shoot Tested videos!

Imaging Resource tested the Olympus 17mm f/1.2 Pro Lens. The conclusion:

All in all, the Olympus 17mm f/1.2 Pro lens is an amazing optic. It boasts excellent image quality even at f/1.2, and the outstanding build quality that Zuiko Pro lenses are known for. But all these niceties and high-performance features come at a cost. At $1200, the 17mm f/1.2 is a serious prime for serious photographers, much like other Zuiko Pro lenses. But fear not, as out of Olympus’s lineup as well as the rest of the Micro Four Thirds playing field, the Zuiko 17mm f/1.2 Pro is one of, if not the best wide-angle prime lens for Micro Four Thirds photographers available.

CameraLabs finalized their very long and very detailed GX9 review. The conclusion:

Panasonic’s Lumix GX9 is a feature-packed mid-range mirrorless camera, featuring a 20 Megapixel Four Thirds sensor that’s stabilized within the body, an electronic viewfinder and touchscreen, both of which can tilt vertically, 9fps bursts with continuous autofocus, 4k video with Panasonic’s array of clever 4k Photo modes, and Wifi complemented by Bluetooth for easy location tagging and seamless connections. Vloggers will wish it had a microphone input and a screen that flipped-forward to face them, while serious action shooters will be better-served by a camera with a phase-detect hybrid AF system; I’d also personally like it a lot more if Panasonic had used an OLED viewfinder panel which, to my eyes, delivers a steadier image. But there’s no denying the appeal of the broad feature-set which covers most bases, image quality that can compete with rivals with bigger sensors, and the chance to use the largest catalogue of native mirrorless lenses. A recommended all-rounder.

A Landscape Photographer’s Review of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II

Once every few years or so a camera comes out that takes everyone by surprise by really pushing the boundaries of what we generally expect from a camera, both in terms of specs and features. For 2016/2017 the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II was that camera. I’m a bit late with a review, but I’ve only fairly recently been able to get my hands on the E-M1 Mark II, so better late than never!

Photorec visited the WPPI Panasonic Booth and had a quick look at GX9 and G9 from Panasonic.
