Panasonic Leica DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-60 F/2.8-4 Reviews

The Panasonic Leica 12-60 F/2.8-4 is a great lens for the Panasonic GH5. Mirror Lessons and Camera Hoarders completed their reviews of the lens and both like the lens, but Mirror Lessons seems to be more in the Olympus camp preferring the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-40 f/2.8.

Cameralabs Panasonic GH5 Review

Cameralabs released their lengthy video review and Gordon Laing is very impressed. The Panasonic GH5 is an incredible value as a Sony FS5/7 competitor and the only down side is that it’s not built to be shot comfortably like a cinema camera. Panasonic GH5 B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Olympus Discontinues Four Thirds, But Not m43

I have followed 4/3 since it was announced as the first “designed for digital” system. I liked much of what Olympus and Panasonic preached in the early days about faster sensor read out speed, better battery life, lower prices, smaller cameras, small high quality fast lens, and more.
