I have Just brought the Lumix Gx8 and would like to get a new lens for it. I have the Panasonic 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6. The two Lens I have in mind are the olympus 12-40 2.8 pro or the Panasonic 12-35mm F2.8. I would be using the lens more for photos. Could you please tell me which one you think is best for photos ?
Although the Olympus 12-40mm lens has some benefits, for the GX8 and for street use I myself would prefer the Panasonic 12-35mm F2.8 on that camera. It would be a great lens on that camera. Although I have a preference for the 35mm equivalent focal length, for a prime I myself would get the Panasonic Leica 15mm before I would get the Olympus 17mm, but the Olympus has a loyal following. I just have never gotten enough positive vibes to by the Olympus 17mm , plus I like my Voigtlander too much I guess too. The Sigma 19mm would be a cheap option too.

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!
