CameraStuffReview (Click here) posted their full Olympus 7-14mm PRO lens test:

If you compare the Panasonic 7-14 mm f/4 with the Olympus 7-14 mm f/2.8 at full aperture, then the Panasonic scores a bit higher. If you set both lenses to f/4, then the roles are reversed.
At very short distances (less than 1 meter), the corners of shots made at 7mm are less sharp than for pictures take from a distance of more than 1 meter. This can be the explanation for a number of test reports that have appeared for the Olympus 7-14mm in which the sharpness in the corners is lower at 7mm. The practice shots at all focal distances are remarkably sharp in the corners.
With the fantastic Panasonic 7-14mm f/4, the bar is set high. With the 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO, Olympus pushed it even higher.

7-14mm f/2.8 PRO lens: Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, GetOlympus, WexUK, AmazonUK, AmazonDE, Digitalrev.
8mm f/1.8 PRO lens: Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, GetOlympus, WexUK, AmazonUK, AmazonDE, Digitalrev.

It was a very small expedition to an uncharted area in Fireland and i filmed it with the GH3 and Panasonic and Walimex lenses. There had been very tough circumstances and i had to reduce everything to the absolut minimum. The GH3 and especially the Panasonic 12-35/2.8 performed very good under snow, rain and storm and due to this very bad weather conditions i´m really happy with the result of the movie. It´s maybe not this super nice color corrected piece of art, but for me in this case the story about our adventure was in the foreground and therefor with this setup i had a perfect companion. https://vimeo.com/129314206. I also made a lot of pictures with the Olympus OMD EM5 and Panasonic lenses and some pictures of the landscapes of Fireland are in this album. Enjoy! https://www.flickr.com/photos/leopoldfuchs/sets/72157651775474712“

The rumored 8K video posted on Youtube which is likely to be fake.

Cinescopophilia reports about a new GH4 firmware hack that is supposed to be released in July. It’s supposed to allow 8k recording(!) on the Panasonic GH4.

Well, I am sure this is just a story made up by some guy. We will not get 8K on the GH4 :(
