Panasonic made a super small 100mm macro…and Leica SL3 and Panasonic S1RII are coming soon!

So my rumors about the 100mm macro have proven to be spot on! And this means also the other rumors I got from the same sources are right:

  • Leica SL3 is coming very soon (likely at Cp+ in February)
  • Panasonic High Resolution camera will be announced some months after the SL3
  • Both cameras have been developed in partnership by Leica and Panasonic with the agreement that Leica can announce it first
  • This means both cameras will have the same sensor

Lumix 100mm macro size comparison with Canon and Sony macros…impressive!

Thanks to CameraSize we can now compare the size between similar macro lenses. This visualizes the impressive work done by Panasonic engineers when designing the new 100mm macro lens!

And this is the spec comparison via BHphoto comparison tool:

As you can see the Panasonic is the lightest, most compact and also the most affordable lens of the three! And when I see it’s lightest it’s less than half the weight of the competitors!
