After a slight misfire with the PRO 1.2/25 model which price, compared to its possibilities, was definitely too high, the continuation of PRO f/1.2 lenses series can be called completely successful. Both models announced in 2017, the M. Zuiko PRO 1.2/17 and the 1.2/45, proved to be optically excellent and both were able to break resolution records. Perhaps they aren’t completely free of any faults and you can’t call them cheap either but the number of their assets and their performance are truly impressive. As a result, the Micro 4/3 system finally got fast, fixed focal length lenses that are able to profit from the advantages connected to the size of the detector they are designed for.
Til February 18 you get Luminar 3 for US$49 instead of US$69, and Luminar 3 + Aurora HDR Bundle for US$119 instead of US$168. Another good chance to grab a Lightroom and Photoshop alternative :)

Mike: “Been a while since I’ve shared anything, but excited to share this trailer and news. I and my colleagues produced the upcoming “Beers of Joy” feature documentary, set for release on March 1st, 2019. I think your readers, and frankly Panasonic, Olympus, and SLR Magic want to know is that we shot the entire film on the Gh5 and Gh5s, with the exception of our aerial shots (Mavic Pro, Mavic Pro 2, and Inspire 1 Raw). The film was captured using the anamorphic modes of those cameras and primarily used the Anamorphot 2x Prime Lens set from SLR Magic (35mm, 50mm, 70mm). We supplemented that with the Anamorphot 1.33 compact adapter paired with Olympus 14-42 M43 zoom, and a few shots of the Anamorphot 2x adapter paired with the Panasonic lenses. I believe this may be the first feature-length, widely released documentary (worldwide via Gravitas Ventures) shot with this camera and lens combination.
I’m a faithfully loyal M43 user, but honestly I very much look forward to applying this approach to capturing cinema in future projects and can’t wait for the world to enjoy this film and the look we created with the M43 standard. Here is the link to the trailer: https://vimeo.com/250872961 The film enjoys its wide release on March 1st, 2019.”
