X-T2

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 tests the new Meike 25mm f/0.95 MFT lens

Meike25mm

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).

Share

I got some early specs info about the LX100 successor that will be announced at Photokina:

  1. It will have the same sensor of the GX80 GX85.
  2. But it will not have the same processor as the future GH5.
  3. Rear screen will be like the GX80: Articulated and tactile.

P.S.: The Panasonic GH5 will have a complete new processor engine.
