Sweet!  Thx, Joe  :) Regards, Russ

It appears you're likely right about that, but I do hope that's not the case. Fingers remain crossed that DPReview is, at least, curious enough to give it a cursory lookover. Regards, Russ

DPReview, I have been awaiting your full review of the new RAW Video capabilities of the E-M1X or E-M1 MKIII. May I ask, is it forthcoming? I think it would be unfortunate to miss an opportunity to ...

I cannot understand the childish bickering that goes on here. This is the kind of lens you buy because you need it, not because you desire it. If you need a lens like this one, get it. It is...

4K 60p??? :(

Fantastic! Love silhouette photography. :)

I was so impressed with how dedicated Panny was to updating the firmware of their M4/3 bodies that I confidently bought into their L-Mount system. After seeing the G9 being transformed into a very...

And that will be the case with me too, dinoSnake.

I was a hardcore Olympus (M/43) user, for a few years, after having sold off my Canon FF/APS-C gear. I never regretted the decision to go with...

Well said!

At times, FF is necessary and M4/3 won't cut it. At other times, M4/3 is necessary and FF won't cut it.

The advantage of M4/3 is portability, and to a lesser extent, total system cost (if you only wanted to buy into one system and budget was a great concern). The advantage of FF is superior image...

Hi flbdig, I own it.  I believe you'll love it.  It has surprised me on many occasions where I didn't expect it to.  I say that mainly because I am a fan of longer focal lengths and I just don't ...

Thanks for your response, Petr.  I really appreciate it.  I got to handle the Pany 200mm f2.8 today and I was very impressed with both its handling and image quality. Regards, Russ

STUNNING and INSPIRATIONAL work, Petr!  :D May I ask,  if you could only keep one of your two telephoto primes (Oly 300 f4 / Pany 200 f2.8), which would you chose and why? Thanks! Russ

I'm glad I did visit your site. It's very inspirational! Though I don't include portraits in my DPR gallery, I too like to take portraits. My preference is to take candid portraits, capturing ...

If it adequately suppresses lens aberrations, is sharp across the frame and has controllable distortion characteristics, it will be worth the price.

Fingers are crossed it's a GX8 "like" body with the S1R's sensor and specs. But I'd still buy it with the S1's sensor.

If you don't get why Panny did this lens, then you have most likely not lugged around their S Pro 24-70mm f2.8 lens. ;)

You are welcome, sir! Judging by the portraits on your website, I'm going to guess you are going to love this lens!  :) Take Care, Russ
