There are a ton of reviews on the web about this lens. But the only one you need to watch to get all the info you need is this one from Gordon Laing:
You stubborn Olympus! You refuse to listen those reputable rumor sites narrating back in autumn that by January-March 2020 you would close the camera division. You should listen to the holy voice of the sacred Internet, the land of the rightful trolls and anonymous salvation army.
Olympus ignores these apocalyptic calls for the end of MFT and yesterday they registered a new MFT lens in Russia (the land of fake news so there might be hope MFT is dead for real?). The new lens is coded “IM022” and will be announced soon. It might be a new 100-400mm MFT but who knows, maybe Olympus will shut down the camera division next week right before the lens gets announced. In Youtubers-Influencers we trust this might be the case.

This sarcastic post is dedicated to all those influencers, youtubers, bloggers making their clickbait living by narrating the death of Olympus during the past five years :)

The Canon EOS-R5 will be announced on July 9. And we will finally get the full price info which for now is rumored to be something around $4,000. Sony will announce their A7sII successor a couple of days earlier. But while the EOS-R5 will definitely record 8K it’s not sure if the Sony will do the same!
Stay tuned…this is going to be an exciting time :)

After 5 very long years we might finally get this damn new As7III :)
The camera is rumored ot be announced at the very end of June along the new 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens. There is no info on the possible specs yet but I don’t think it will have 8K like the Canon EOS-R5. Afterall the A7sIII is aimed at professionals and they surely prefer to have a high quality 4K video than crappy 8K.
