(L5) First leaked image of the new Panasonic 70-200mm f/4.0 S lens

We just got this first leaked image of the production ready lens which clearly shows the constant f/4.0 aperture.
So the guess from Digitalcameraworld  that the new 70-200mm S lens might have f/2.8 aperture were off. Pity because that 77mm filter thread is the same we get on the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM.

The full reviews and preorder opening will happen on Friday February 1st at 11:00 London time. But we hopefully will get more info in the next hours too!

New Panasonic 70-200mm images suggest a it has a constant f/2.8 aperture?

Digitalcameraworld spotted the lens at the SWPP show in London. They write:

From its size and 77mm front filter thread, it look almost certainly to be a 70-200mm f/2.8. You can also clearly see that the closest focusing distance of the lens is 0.92m (3.02 ft).

It’s likely Panasonic will announce the full specs within the next 1-2 weeks. Fingers crossed the lens has indeed an f/2.8 aperture. While the other zoom lens the 24-105mm lens will definitely be a f/4.0.

(L4) Leica SL2 will be in market in late 2019 only

We got some info about the new Leica SL2. From what we heard the camera is not really coming any time soon. Leica plans to have it on market by late 2019 only. No specs yet but of course you can expect a new much higher resolution sensor to be featured on the SL2.
