The Olympus Rep stopped by the local camera store to show off the new Olympus 40-150 f2.8 lens. Since I had the lens on pre-order my salesman gave me a heads up on the Olympus Rep visit. He had an actual production version of the lens. My initial impression is wow!!!. The lens is impressive. It handled really well on both the E-M1 and E-M5. Both cameras were mine and they had the RRS L-Bracket on them. The AF is very quick. The lens is actually not heavy. We compared it to a Canon L 70-200/f4.0 and the Olympus is about the same size and felt lighter. The lens hood is really neat! He also had the upcoming 1.4xTC with him and it works really good. After playing with it for about an hour I am very pleased that I got one on pre-order. My salesman uses MFT and has a FT50-200 and it sounds like he will be getting the new lens.
I did take a few photos with the lens and also a few photos that my salesman took of me handling the lens. They are in a Flickr album at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/david_l_black/sets/72157648617334877/
Here is one of me holding the new lens:

So it looks like you've lost your sync cap already too!

It was mine E-M1 w/ a 12-40/2.8 that took the photo. The E-M1 in the photo was the Olympus Rep's camera.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
