What a monster, too small a zoom range, what's it for? Astro or handheld vlogging?
Guess who likes how much you will be able to blur the backgrounds with this lens?? Toneh!!

I think there's a new Panasonic camera rumoured to be coming very soon and from what I've seen it's not a FF, so that leaves m4/3 or a compact.
Mine was fine and I didn't use any of the primes in range again, but yeah as you say it did feel a prime with flexibility or a too short for zoom! Obviously despite the size and weight I now prefer the 24-105 f4 with FF but that's apples vs oranges comparison in general.
I was so tempted to say it but knew you were going to LoLGuess who likes how much you will be able to blur the backgrounds with this lens?? Toneh!!

Canon to launch new Cinema EOS camera on June 5, 2024 at 3PM EDT
Canon USA has announced that there will be a live YouTube presentation on June 5, 2024 at 3:00 EDT to introduce a new Cinema EOS camera. It’s rare that we get a ton of Cinema EOS related information…

That's definitely possible

And I've just seen the Panasonic social media posts that say "New Phase" with a countdown that starts from 7, so it seems that a GH7 may well be about to appear. I am surprised!

Isn't this lens E mount and L mount only as yet? That kind of limits the potential new body that may make an appearance I would have thought
Yeah, sorry - my bad. I diverted the conversation with this post which was in response to the PetaPixel review video that Dirk linked.
I watched the video and noticed in the intro where they usually declare what gear was used to record the show (often the G9II or S5IIx) it just said 'REDACTED". So that's what led to the side discussion about the rumored GH7. Panasonic has since posted to social media today with a cryptic "New Phase" message with a countdown that starts at 7, so it does look like there is a new m4/3 camera about to drop (along with the usual sh!t storm of disappointment, no doubt).
But yes, it has nothing to do with the new Sigma 18-45mm lens.

To be perfectly honest, I have yet to watch any of the reviews, so not 100% sure on exact lens mounts. Can't remember if it was on a rumour post or what, where they mentioned E and L mount.
And yeah, I can hardly wait for the overwhelming chorus of wailing and weeping, by 80 year old bird photographers, that it (the GH7) doesn't exactly fit their list of demands LoL LoL LoL.
Yes, it's just those two mounts.
The PetaPixel review was balanced. It looks like this lens will be good for video work, described a bit like a bag of primes and internal zoom so no balance problems on a gimbal etc. Certainly not something I need or want but I am always glad to see new lenses available for L-mount.
Yep, it's coming for sure. Too big, too heavy, doesn't do a gazillion FPS, can't acquire a bird 1.2km away in 0.000002 nanoseconds etc. And when someone suggests it wasn't designed for that, the response will be FFS what were Panasonic thinking!1!! LOL.

He he he. Yeah, it will just be a matter of time, before someone "accidentally" discovers a combination of settings, that blocks another feature, and the end of the world is nigh. Of course it will have happened just when they were about to take a once in a lifetime shot. And ruined it.
