RED35 reviews the Panasonic Leica 9mm f/1.7 DG Summilux

I’ve been waiting for an ultra wide (and ultra fast) rectilinear lens for both my filming, vlogging, and photography for years, no one seems to make one (the closes was Laowa and perhaps Olympus M.Zuiko 8mm f1.8 Pro, though I need to de-fish in post). Panasonic beats everyone by launching this new ultra wide prime. Watch and find out what I think.

GH6 review by Provideocoalition

Preorders: GH6 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama. In EU at Fotokoch DE, Calumet DE, Foto Erhardt DE. WexUK, Park UK.

ProVideoCoalition reviewed the GH6 and concluded:

At the end of the day, if you have any kind of investment in MFT glass, and you’re happy with the kind of footage you’ve been getting with it, then the GH6 is a solid upgrade or expansion to your kit. Other gear might have its own advantages, but it won’t have everything that the Panasonic Lumix GH6 does. It’s already making my shoots easier. I regret nothing. Enjoy.

GH6 + Canon 600mm f/4 II lens

Thought I’d pass this along for your 4/3 site. I do nature photography and videography using both the Sony and M4/3 systems. (Sony A1 + 200-600) / (GH6 + Panasonic 100-400 and the Canon 60mm f/4 II lens)

Although I much prefer the Sony system for stills, I have been enjoying the Panasonic GH6 for filming wildlife. With the 2X cropped sensor I find this as an advantage for getting close-in while filming in 4k. Add the Canon 600mm f/4 to the mix and now you’ve got an effective focal length of 1200mm. This comes in handy when there’s a need to get closer to your subject. Film in 5.6k and you can crop down to 4k without any resolution loss. It’s hard to beat!

Here’s a video that was taken with the GH6 and the Canon 600mm f/4. There is no autofocus but for this kind of shot, there was no need for it.
