Panasonic Leica 8-18mm f/2.8-4.0 Review

24/05/2017 By Heather

The Panasonic Leica 8-18mm f/2.8-4.0 is the latest lens in Panasonic’s range of Leica premium DG Vario-Elmarit optics. It becomes the fourth wide-angle zoom for Micro Four Thirds following the high-end Olympus 7-14mm PRO, Panasonic’s own Lumix G 7-14mm and the budget Olympus 9-18mm.

With an equivalent 35mm range of 16-36mm and a fairly bright aperture range of 2.8 to 4, it is a very versatile yet surprisingly light and compact zoom that can be used for landscapes, architecture, street, and environmental portraits. As always, you can find our full review in video format below!

Sony a6500 Complete Review

16/05/2017 By Mathieu

The Sony a6500 surprised everyone when it was announced only six months after the a6300. Though nearly identical in appearance and specifications, the new camera adds 5-axis stabilisation and a larger buffer memory while improving the overheating issue when recording in 4K. These and a couple of other small improvements make the a6500 the flagship APS-C mirrorless camera for the E-mount system. Following more than two months of testing, we can finally present our complete review of the camera to you.

Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS Review

14/04/2017 By Mathieu

The 70-300mmm G lens is the longest telephoto lens you can currently find for Sony APS-C and full-frame mirrorless cameras. This may not be the case for long, however, as Sony is committed to releasing more lenses for the E-mount system and rumors about a possible 100-400mm have already surfaced. Either way, a 70-300mm lens is a must-have zoom in every interchangeable camera system so let’s have a look at how good the Sony version is.

Panasonic Leica 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 Review

22/03/2017 By Heather

The latest lens in Panasonic’s range of premium Leica DG optics is the 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0. Following the Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 (mark I and II) and M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO, it becomes the third high quality standard zoom for Micro Four Thirds. Although it lacks the constant aperture of its siblings, it offers more reach on the telephoto end, which makes it a good option for everyday photography and travel.
