ePhotozine tested the new 100mm macro lens and concluded:

Although 135mm has been widely adopted over the decades as what used to be thought of as a photographer’s first telephoto lens, basically for historic reasons, the 100mm lens has had an increasingly larger following as a more manageable and generally more useful lens. Ironically, whilst 135mm general telephoto lenses ruled, in macro lenses the 100mm came into its own, where it remains to this day. The 50mm macro may be more useful for document copying, to reduce the working distance; the 100mm macro enables more space for lighting and gives a better perspective for macro shots of wildlife. Small insects and other creatures will not be quite so easily spooked if we keep a slight distance away. Add to that a flat field, so the edges and centre of the image will both be sharp even at wider apertures, and there is everything to like about such high quality lenses.

With such a classy performance and such smooth handling, the Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens is without doubt awarded the accolade of Editor’s Choice.

Leica says: Selling L-mount camera is tougher than selling a Q or an M

Amateur Photographer had a chat with Stefan Daniel of Leica. He talked about their L-mount strategy:

Of course, it’s tougher than selling a Q or an M. But the good thing about the system market is that once people are in the system with the lenses, they might also buy a new camera.”

In the interview he also explains what the strengths of their L-mount proposals are. At the end I think their biggest advantage is the partnership with Panasonic and Sigma. It was the only way to give this system a chance when competing against giants like Canon-Nikon-Sony.
