Mirrorlessons (Click here) tested the new Panasonic Leica 12mm f/1.4 lens and writes:
Without going too in-depth, I can confirm that it is everything you’d expect from a Pana-Leica product: excellent sharpness across the frame even at the fastest aperture, great micro-contrast, fast and silent autofocus, and top-of-the-line build quality.
Preorders:
12mm f/1.4 at BHphoto. Amazon. Adorama. Panasonic US. WexUK. ParkCameras.

DC.watch (google translation here) tested the rare Schneider Makro-Quinon 55mm F1.9 lens ([shoplink 22691 ebay]here on eBay[/shoplink]) on the PEN-F. The very unique feature of the lens is that it can extend the lens length by quite an impressive amount:

Today Fuji announced their new flagship camera, the Fuji X-T2 (specs here). It’s the first Fuji camera with 4K video recording. The new Panasonic and Olympus new flagship models are expected to be announced at Photokina (if Kumamoto sensor factory damage didn’t delay the roadmap). They will have to be at least as good and hopefully cheaper than the new Fuji!
Note that the X-T2 has 2 SD slots just like the future E-M1II :)


ePhotozine (Click here) posted the full Meike 25mm f/0.95 MFT lens review:
Of course, we have to accept that this is a manual focus lens, which will not be to everyone’s taste, but if we are prepared to live with that then we end up with a very desirable lens. It is sharp, albeit not at the edges until f/2, in the centre outstandingly sharp, there is no trace of flare, CA is well under control and the price very reasonable for what we are getting. We can add to that the creative possibilities for stills and movies of that f/0.95 aperture and it makes a good case for giving the Meike 25mm f/0.95 serious consideration.
All four new Meike MFT lenses are now listed and available for preorder at Amazon US (Click here to see the pricing of each lens).
