If you’re the owner of either the Panasonic S1 or S1R, we have got some news for you that will make you smile from ear to ear. One thing that has really been holding the system back is the lack of lenses. Today, though, two new Panasonic lenses have been announced that should help alleviate any fears potential new owners may have about buying into the system. Come January, you’ll be able to strap a 16-35mm f4 and a 70-200mm F2.8 lens to the front of your L mount cameras, and on November 19th, you’ll be able to update the firmware of the S1, S1R, GH5, GH5S, and G9. Join us after the break for all the details.

At the beginning of this month, Sony announced the next iteration of its top tier A9 flagship, the A9 II. The most noticeable change Sony has made to the A9 II are the physical changes that borrows heavily from the A7R IV. These include the more pronounced handgrip, the improved buttons on the rear of the camera, as well as the improvements made to the various dials on top of the camera body. While the Sony A9 II retains the same 24.2 Megapixel Exmor RS sensor as the original A9, it is now paired with an upgraded BIONZ X image processor which leads to even faster AF/AE performance and accuracy. As expected, Real-time Eye AF, Real-time Eye AF for animals, and Real-Time Eye AF for video recording are all supported, and we expect Sony to introduce further improvements down the line with future firmware upgrades. The A9 II’s autofocus system can now track subjects continuously even if when shooting at apertures greater than f16. When shooting continuously, the Sony A9 II is capable of capturing images at up to 20 fps when using the electronic shutter, or 10 fps with the mechanical shutter (twice that of the original A9). Both card slots are both UHS-II compatible as well, which will surely help minimize the amount of time that images are stuck in the buffer waiting to be written. We got to spend some time shooting with the brand new Sony A9 II last week during PhotoPlus, head on after the jump for our first impressions of Sony’s latest flagship.
There are lots of lenses on the market that are considered portrait lenses, but the 85mm focal length is perhaps the sweet spot for portrait photographers. This focal length sits nicely in-between 50mm and 135mm offerings, and it gives photographers the ability to either capture great 3/4 length shots, or beautiful headshots. The 85mm prime lenses we have listed after the break are some of our favorites across multiple platforms, and we’re sure that portrait photographers everywhere, whether new to the genre or well decorated, will love the performance of them.
