Not even two months after announcing the remarkably compact Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens, Panasonic is back with another lens for its full-frame cameras. The Lumix S 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Macro O.I.S. all-in-one zoom lens may not move the needle much for pros, but it fills an essential role in Panasonic's L-mount lens lineup. The new lens marks Panasonic's first wide-to-tele zoom for Lumix S Series cameras.

When it comes to general-purpose standard zooms, Sony has you covered. With some classic choices like 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master II and 24-105mm f/4 G or the unique Sony FE 20-70mm f/4, there is something for everyone. However, Sony decided to go even further and add the brand new FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G to its growing collection. The idea is to have a more affordable and compact lens alternative to the expensive 24-70mm GM while still having a fast f/2.8 aperture, albeit with a reduced zoom range. I got my hands on one to try, and here is what I found.
Novel and non-traditional focal length and aperture combinations are becoming significantly more common among mirrorless system lenses.

I'm gonna let you in on a dirty little secret of mine: I never liked the original Fujifilm X100. When it first came out, I was -like many others- enamored by the beautiful styling, but the operation of the camera just never gelled with me. The rather boring -- in my opinion -- 35mm lens didn't help things either. It wasn't until I played with the newly designed X100V that I had my aha moment, and realized the appeal of this camera.
After teasing its arrival, Fujifilm announced the X100VI today at its X-Summit in Tokyo, Japan. The new version, pronounced "X100 six," maintains the familiar compact form factor but upgrades the sensor to 40-megapixels and adds 5-axis in-body image stabilization.
