New Leica 200mm reviews by ePhotozine and Cory Rice

Panasonic-Leica 200mm lens at BHphoto. Amazon. Adorama. Press text on 43rumors.

ePhotozine tested the new Leica 200mm lens and conlcudes:

The Leica DG Elmarit 200mm f/2.8 Power O.I.S is a cracking good lens that is highly functional, with a very useful teleconverter that extends the possibilities. Yes, the price hurts, but the alternatives hurt even more. This is such a pleasure to use and the results are just as satisfying, even with the fairly modest pixel count of the Panasonic Lumix G6. A definite Editor’s Choice.

Also Cory Rice tested the lens:

As would be expected, manual focusing with the Leica was silky smooth and I found the glass exceptionally sharp.
My photographs benefited from Dual I.S. 2, a marriage of in-camera sensor-shift image stabilization technology, and the image stabilization present in Lumix O.I.S lenses. The result is six-and-a-half stops of stabilization (one and a half more than the GH5) and no camera shake in my images despite my shivering hands and a nearly 3-lb lens. I found this feature to be the greatest strength of the G9.

Amos: “I just published a story shot with the GX8 (plus 40-150mm Olympus, 12-35mm Panny, 25mm Leica & 15mm DJI lenses) on the mountain shepherds of Georgia. The story has been used by several different media around the world, and was selected by Buzzfeed as one of their top examples of photojournalism.It will be the last story I shoot on the GX8 (I just bought a GH5), sincerely hope that’s not the last of the GX line!
