Simply amazing lensbr>br>Overviewbr>br> I'm a professional photographer and videographer who only uses this lens with my Panasonic GH5 for video. I've never taken a picture with my GH5, so I can't comment on the lens's photography capabilities, but it has far exceeded my expectations in terms of video. When used wide open, this lens produces buttery bokeh, is weather-sealed when used with the GH5, and has quick auto focus. With this lens, I usually use hybrid auto focus and only use manual focus when it fails to pull focus properly. br>br>Other Users' Complaintsbr>br>I read a few reviews where people were complaining about how "too zoomed in" this lens is. Come on, people, before you buy a lens like this, you need to know how to read lens specifications. This isn't a wide-angle lens, and I wouldn't try to use it on anything other than a tripod. This lens can be properly stabilized and focused on the scene using a proper video tripod or even a stable monopod. the level of consistency This is a 70-minute video. The lens is equivalent to a full frame of 200mm. br>br>My Experiencebr>br>I bought this lens primarily to shoot events where a wider lens would be too close to capture footage. When zoomed in and filming up close, this lens has proven to be excellent for events, with a true shallow depth of field. For one shoot, I used this lens dialed in at 100mm, the tele convert feature in the GH5, and shot at 4K so that in post I could deliver to the customer 1080P and punch in another 2x, giving me crisp clear shallow DOF footage at almost 600mm FF equivalent! With this tiny lens, I was able to accomplish all of this. The footage was absolutely incredible. So, if you're looking for a GH5 lens that's great for events, has a super shallow DOF, is weather sealed, and knows how to properly stabilize a 70-200mm lens, this is the lens for you. If you're looking for a 200mm FF equivalent lens, look no further. Also, autofocus works with this lens, so you can save time by using hybrid AF, as I do, and I really like the GH5's focus transition feature. In properly blocked scenes, I use it all the time, but it only works if you use native lenses with AF. br>br>Conclusionbr>br>Like my Canon 70-200mm, I have a Canon 70-200mm. For photography, use a 200mm lens. When filming interviews (due to the shallow DOF), events (due to the long reach), and for a cinematic look (buttery bokeh), this has become my go-to lens. This isn't the lens for your Crane or Ronin S, but if you have a good tripod with a fluid video head and need an excellent lens with some reach, this is probably the best it gets for the GH5. Oh, and if you're a wedding videographer, stop reading now and go out and buy this lens; you'll thank me later.
Yes, this bad boy is pricey, but it is well worth it. Take a look at the photo attached for an example of sharpness. a reflection of a WWII plane caught in its propeller nose Enough said!.
This is an excellent lens. With the exception of Dual 2 stabilization when paired with the GH5, I'm not sure if there's a significant difference between this and version 1. I considered returning it and purchasing the V1 lens instead, but I decided to wait. The dual stabilization is simply outstanding. Whatever the case may be. When used with the GH4 or GH5 (and possibly other bodies, but these are the only ones I've tried), both this version and version 1 are fantastic lenses.
Throughout the years, I've owned a number of m4/3 cameras (Panasonic and Olympus) as well as a number of lenses. I was never completely satisfied with the results, and I couldn't justify spending so much money on a Panasonic lens. br>br>I finally decided to purchase this lens because it has a 24-times equivalent zoom range. With a focal length of 70mm and an aperture of f2, I was able to achieve a constant aperture I had hoped for a slight improvement in the quality of the images. I was mistaken! br>br> I was ecstatic with the results! This is without a doubt my sharpest lens. Period. This lens is truly amazing, even when compared to my other lenses in other systems (I own Canon and Nikon full frame DSLRs). br>br>The M4/3 format is a small one. Getting stunning images, at least images comparable to larger formats like APS-C, necessitates a significant amount of effort. C or FF. I can confidently state that the images I get with this lens when shooting RAW on my Panasonic GX85 rival those of my larger cameras! br>br>If you're reading this, it's likely that you're debating whether or not to purchase this lens. All I have to say is that this is an incredible lens that is well worth the investment. br>br>The only two drawbacks are that it is a little heavy and that the IS is barely visible. It's a lot lighter than my Nikon 16-35mm lens, which I use with both Canon and Nikon outfits. 35mm f4. 0 as well as my Canon 16-megapixel camera. It's a 35mm f4L, but it outperforms both of them! In terms of APS-C, this Panasonic lens is comparable. C format cameras) to my Canon EF-S telephoto lens S 17- 55mm f2. 8 as well as my Nikon 17- 55mm f2. 8 DX. I wouldn't have spent so much money on m4/3 primes if I had known this lens was this good.
With a very sharp image, it's quick, precise, and quiet. It's light and simple to use. This is the lens to have if you can only have one for your micro 4/3 camera.
This is the first time I've used the phrase "70-minute workout. " I had almost exclusively primes up until now, so the 200" zoom was a welcome addition. With a Panasonic G9, the lens is sharp and quickly focuses. Coming from Canon, I appreciate the lens's compact size and light weight.
Few prime lenses could potentially be replaced. First and foremost. . . It has a well-built sealed lens that can withstand light rain. It's not heavy, and it's easy to carry, but it's a little big (approximately half a foot), and it has a hood. The operations go without a hitch, and the images are excellent. This lens is ideal for cinematic portraits, and it has a focal length of 35mm. The number 100 is a good starting point. It's less expensive than the Olympus 40-megapixel camera. 150 Because I use it in my OMD, I'm not concerned with the OIS. It's a fantastic lens as long as you use it in a well-lit environment. I had focus buffering issues in low light, so it's strictly a studio lens. I shot a few models on the street; the images are sharp, and the bokeh is excellent. It's mostly useful to me because I don't have to switch between 45mm 1 and 45mm 2. 8mm and 75mm In environmental photoshoots, there are eight lenses to choose from.
For use with the GH5, I purchased this lens. It rocks! My usual go-to to circling the camera lens When used in conjunction with the in-house technology, the result is a powerful combination. Because of the GH5's camera stabilization, shaky video is no longer an issue; I would recommend it as a standard lens in your arsenal.
