This won’t come as a surprise: The Panasonic S1 has been tested by DxOmark and Photonstophotos. And in both cases the S1 performed nearly identical to the Sony A7III. I think it’s a save bet to say the Panasonic uses the same sensor made by Sony (without the phase detection pixels). DxO writes:

With just one point between them in the DxOMark rankings and similar Portrait, Landscape, and Sports scores, the new Lumix DC-S1 sensor performs practically identically to its most direct competitors.

I am much more interested to see how the Panasonic S1R sensor scores at DxO…we should see these results soon!

Tokina FiRIN AF 100mm F/2.8 Macro FE at Adorama and BHphoto.

Voigtlander announced this new 50mm f/1.2 FE lens. I do own the current 40mm FE and I am very tempted to buy this new 50mm lens too.

I also think this new 21mm f/1.4 from Vogitlander is one of the most exciting lens ever. Sony currently doesn’t offer an 21mm GM lens and this lens would be huge anyway. The 21mm is perfect fit for my small hiking bag :)

This is likely the best autofocus FE lens made yet by Samyang.

Here is the link to Fred Mirandas first impressions. Here is the link to the Final Thoughts:

“This past week, I had a great time pushing the Sony FE 135/1.8 GM lens to the limit. Overall, Sony has once again delivered a top resolution lens, without neglecting rendering. In my opinion, the FE 135/1.8 GM is easily the best medium telephoto prime on the market today.”
