New video reviews:
Some exciting off brands announcements/rumors: Panasonic GH5s and Leica 75mm f/1,25
News one:
Glas glas and again more glas! That’s the new 75mm f/1,25 lens announced by Leica. You could actually mount this beast on your E-mount camera too using one of the many available adapters. But first you have to rob a bank to pay the 11.900€ needed to preorder this beast. I wish one day Sony will find the time to make some “exotic” lens like Leica does. a 85mm f/1.2 or 50mm f/1.2 would be on top of my wishlist.
More info on the Leica at Mirrorlessrumors
News two:
Casey Neistat is testing a new Panasonic GH5s camera. This is basically Panasonic answer to the Sony A7s line. No specs are known but it will use a new video and low light optimized sensor fitted inside the current GH5 body. The good news is that this will put even more pressure on Sony and hopefully they will announce the A7sIII soon.

Today only: $700 off on the G-Technology 16 Terabyte disk at BHphoto. Should be good to store some zillions of pictures :)
