Share

leicalenses

2017 will be obviously a slow year for the MFT world. We just got the GH5 and E-M1II and in 2017 we will only get some “minor” stuff. This is what to expect:

  1. Olympus E-M10III in July (4K, 20MP sensor, improved AF and improved 5 axis stabilization)
  2. New Panasonic MFT camera in late summer-early fall
  3. New Olympus lenses during the second half of 2017
  4. New Leica 50-200mm f/2.8-4.0 in late Summer early Autumn

Hope to get some more info on the Panasonic camera and Olympus lenses soon!

Aldo:We did a funny review of the GH5. It plays a bit with the guys who use their girlfriends in reviews and the stuff you don’t see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6t7VApiFxg

Robert:Dear 43 Rumors, here is a film from a recent visit to Havana shot with the Panasonic G85. I’ve been very impressed with G85, it’s liberating to shoot with such a small lightweight camera, all handheld with the excellent IBIS.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kj5RBlqs1I

Günther:I’ve made a comparison video of GH4 with 100-300mm VS. GH5 with 100-300mm II. maybe you and your readers are interested. https://youtu.be/zg2ivIcrscI
