Due the Covid-19 outbreak Panasonic will skip this years IBC show
Panasonic announced they will not join this years IBC show. Instead we will get a virtual presentation of their products on the Technology Experience Zone.
The IBC show would have been a possible candidate for a GH6 pre-announcements. But I don’t know yet if the GH6 will be announced this year :(

Robin Wong: Olympus 75-300mm F4.8-6.7 II review – The Underrated Super Telephoto Zoom Lens
Robin Wong:
After numerous requests, finally I managed to get my hands on a loaner Olympus M.Zuiko 75-300mm F4.8-6.7 Mark II from Olympus Malaysia, and I thought why not shoot some cute animals at the National Zoo? Do come along with me as I test the Olympus 75-300mm lens in this mini review, is the lens really soft as many have complained? Is 300mm full zoom that bad? Be warned – many photographs of cute cats in this video. I personally think the Olympus 75-300mm is a budget-friendly lens that is a great starter for wildlife, sports and bird shooters, having compact and lightweight build yet delivering surprisingly sharp images, in contrast with the popular reports out there.
This video is made in accompaniment with a blog review here: https://robinwong.blogspot.com/2020/0…
Get the lens on Amazon.
