Dave & Evelyn explore Photokina 2018 in Cologne Germany to get their hands on all the latest camera and lenses that were just announced. Watch to see a few of the highlights of the show including the new Panasonic S1R, Fuji GFX 50R, and more.
Ben Fox:
“During my visit to Photokina 2018, Carol from Panasonic gives me a run down on their new mirrorless cameras the Lumix S1 and S1R; 2 new 24mp and 47mp Full Frame cameras that both shoot 4k60p video.”
Peter Gregg:
The Panasonic S1 and S1R cameras are not complete cameras yet. They have been announced but the specs don’t seem to be solidified. I may sound a little harsh in this video, but now is the time for them to make changes in the camera BEFORE it starts production. Not having an articulating screen – from Panasonic of all companies – is almost unimaginable!!!
Imaging Resource talked to Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki. Here are some key info:
I do hope some newly designed L-mount lenses will be launched in 2019 too. because the Sigma FE lenses for Sony are way to big and ugly š
Photogearnews interviewed a Panasonic UK manager and here are three key info:
1) He makes some Nikon-Canon poke fun and says “you will be pleased to know it has two card slots” š
2) Focus was on the balance between camera and lens
3) Interesting: 30% of the system camera market is Full Frame. 70% non Full Frame (APS-C, MFT)

Hugh:
“I think the L-mount consortium — in particular Panasonic’s first full frame mirrorless camera system the Lumix S — is the biggest news at Photokina 2018.”

DC.watch interviewed the three managers of the L-mount alliance and there are a couple of interesting points:
1) Leica is considering selling Sigma and Panasonic L-mount products in their Leica stores
2) There are yet no plans to extend the partnership yet.
3) Yes, other Lens manufacturers can use the L-mount specifications to make L-mount lenses
