Lensrentals tested the 70-200mm GM lens and the bad news is that it seemd to not have the expected top-notch quality:
The Sony just isn’t that great, and that’s really disappointing considering the price tag and how long customers have had to wait for that lens to be available. But if you need f/2.8 and working autofocus, it’s really the best option out there for Sony mirrorless cameras.
Not that Tony Northrup is testing the lens too and said the lens performance is “stellar”. So let’s wait and see a couple of more reviews. Anyway, if f/2.8 isn’t absolutely necessary save the money and get the excellent 70-200mm f/4.0 FE lens which just got tested by Hugh Brownstone:

Someone sent me that picture of the new Graphite Fuji X-T2. It looks seriously cool! Maybe Sony should offer a graphite version of their A7 and future A9 cameras too:
Thos eimages don’t look so good yet but I am sure a real graphite Sony version would look much better!
Luminous Landscape reports via trusted sources that Hasselblad got acquired By well-known chinese drone maker DJI ! We have yet no idea what DJI plans are but LL made an analogy that gives us some hope:
In all fairness, another Swedish iconic company – Volvo, is now owned by Chinese investors and Volvo’s new models promise really well – if they sell. So there is hope. Or is this simply a brandname takeover?
Hasselbad always had a close to relation with Sony. And I also wonder if something will change here too…I guess the answer is no.
