Hello brother,am using lumix s5ii and i have an issue with capture one software, its not supporting with capture one My version of capture one is older

On camera is sharper than the Ninja

Great vid! Just got it today and got some great shots. Did a rookie mistake and had the ISO on 125 (auto would've been great) but the shots still turned out great on A-priority. Was debating between the Panasonic 70-300 or this one and decided on this and I'm so stoked! Heading out tomorrow for a whole day shoot :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Scot. I have the 50-230 for the last year and it’s been great but I want to get a bit closer and better speed for motor racing, wildlife and some aviation. I was about to order the 70-300 and unfortunately came across the Sigma 100-400 which for the same price as the 70-300 and half the price of the Fuji 100-400 I’m really leaning towards that Sigma!

Hello, for the safari xc50-230 is a valid choice? Thank U

Thinking about buying it

I have a set of Asahi Pentax Bellows (cost me all of $22) and I recently found the matching Asahi Pentax Slide copier that would sometimes come with the bellows, (cost me all of $12.50) to complete the set. Both parts are in great shape as these old bellows and copiers weren't used all that often. I never shot slide film back in my time using film cameras, but I have shot thousands and thousands of B&W frames. I have all the negatives saved in archival sleeves to protect them. These date back to my days in college being a school newspaper photographer and then after that as well. But the Pentax slide copier has a neat feature I believe so does that Contax unit you were using, in that that door that flips down has slots on the sides that allows you insert a strip of 35mm film. At least on the Pentax copier it holds the film flat and I can now copy all my negatives using my Canon R7 on the bellows and a Super-Multi-Coated Macro-Takumar 50mm f4 lens. This set up is amazing and I have started to copy over all my negatives to a digital format and now I can share these or print them a lot easier than dragging out all my old darkroom equipment again. I love that I can do this, so much so that I even bought a few rolls of Ilford HP5+ B&W film and put it into an old Konica FC-1 film camera that I own (along with my collection of vintage Konica Hexanon AR lenses that I have adapted to my Canon R7 body) and I am shooting film again! Thanks for the fun video!

thank you, thank you thank you, I know you made this video years ago, but you so answer my problem!

I have this very problem. I purchased a camera and didn't realize the issue until leave a full battery in the camera without using it only to return and noticed that the battery was drained. Sadly this was a 3rd party purchase. No return or warranty.

hi there. I have one Godox ML60bi and it's a good light. I also got the diffuser AD-S60S to go with it and it works for interviews etc. But now I think I could use a second one-however I also see a very similar light from Neewer that is a lot cheaper- The Neewer MS60B also bicolour. I looked for some comparison video but couldnt find any. I want to make sure that the quality of light is similar or better than the Godox so that I can use them together for interviews etc. Any thoughts? maybe...a long shot...thanks!

I liked your content, I will follow the channel

I got the XC50-230 on a redemption deal for really cheap (around US$150), and if it wasn't for that deal, I would've never gotten the chance to try a tele zoom at all, as I don't see myself needing that range. The only few times I brought it out was for kids outdoor activities. Coming from fast primes, this lens really needs a lot of light. Basically you'd pack this in the bag after 5:00pm in a summers day. However the time I had it was pretty nice, not so much the IQ but to actually get a decent image vs no image at all. I'd imagine the IQ is a little bit better than those compact zoom cameras (never owned one). That being said, if it was US$400, I'd probably skip it and get a compact bridge zoom like the Sony HX99, or the Tamron 18-300, which would give me a lot more reach. Side note, the plastic mount broke when it dropped with my camera inside my camera bag, and repairs cost me US$40, which I guess was reasonable considering I couldn't get anything else for $40. But that says something about plastic mounts. I don't mind the plastic body though as it's still quite decent plastic. For the price I got it, it was a steal and I'm keeping it for sure. Note to other readers, I really don't need the range, so I'm not too fuzzy about the IQ here. Oh, the best thing about this lens, is that I own an XT30ii, and the entire package weighs just a little over 700g, which is less than many lens alone of this focal range! That's really amazing IMO.

Scot, I have the Contax bellows you described. What adapters do I need to connect it to a Nikon D800 camera at one end and a Nikon lens at the other please

This is a very nice and detailed video, i was happy to watch it!

FINALY!!! A REAL review! And not a "pre-chewed" commercial from the factory or photoshop. Im really gratefull for that, because more and more on youtube you see video's, called 'review' that are just commercials. And your video was exactly how i was planning to use this lens. Thank you sir, keep up the good work.

An interesting, well put together video. You gained another subscriber here.

The autofocus and the IS performances are both really bad on this lens when coupled with S5II. Hopefully we will see a proper superzoom from Lumix soon enough. Lumix S series similar to Sigma 150-600 would be ideal.

Amazing. Thanks so much.

Any update on this?

nice video series - I'm playing with the settings on my S5 (mark i) and it doesn't show a hue setting. I tried toggling the camera in sRGB and Adobe RGB and the menu didn't change. Any suggestions?

Looks like you have bad preamps in S5II too. Did hear your internal mic when external is connected(rub it wearing headphones)?

an easy way of describing them is to think of these as miniature versions of a view camera, or monorail camera, the bottom is called the optical bench (also called a 'focussing rail' in 135 format language) , the front and back are called standards, the lens and camera standard.

I have not copy a slide in 40 years.

do you know if it works with the Lumix S5? (not the ii)

I have found a different fix. It seems there is a bug and sometimes the diffraction settings are not being applied. By going into lens correction and simply reselecting manufacturers profile it properly applies.

You can reach Zazzle and my store thru my site www.scotperry.com/external-stores

Amazing video! I am trying to set the linear focus to 180° but only 360° is available, Im not sure why, dont know what Im missing (Lens is Sigma 28-70 2.8)

❤

Thank you Sir

Good video!! so helpful!

Sadly after four years my x-t3 developed this symptom. Out of warranty and it would be easier to sell the camera instead of changing its mother board. Not many people have talked about this issue. Thanks for that

I must have a poor monitor, because I find the fuji as being better.

Excellent video, and really helpful for me as I am trying to decide between the Sigma 100-400 and the Lumix 70-300 for my S5II. Did you get a chance to test the Lumix 70-300? It has dual IS (combination sensor and lens stabilization).

you gotta be kidding me. I am going to test this solution next weak when I have acces to my microphones as one of then is humming. If this really is the reason then I will make a contribution. it would save me buying a new microphone

Wow, I was doing some test and I was sure I had a ground problem, I found your video, take my philips turn 3 times that Fu*** screw and TADA no more hum... Thanks you for solving that stupid problem causing to my GF some nightmare...

How did ansel adams use them

Thanks for this Scot! What are the odds of getting you to do an autofocus test on faces (in video)? On the fence between Panasonic’s 70-300 and the 100-400, and autofocus could be the deciding factor.

YOU ARE AMAZING! Was about to get a new mic

Sean from Panasonic in his Lumix Live broadcast said that body stabilization works with Sigma lens but it's not the same level of compatibility of a Lumix lens. So he would know better than me. All I can say I'll get by with stills but if I'm doing video I personally need to reach for a tripod : )

Your warts and all approach is refreshing and appreciated. I subscribed.

is the sigma lens O.S system work well together with the S5ii IBIS?

Correction - I meant human animal. Did you have animal eye auto focus enabled?

Good stuff. I’ve been experimenting with CineD. If you adjust Hue up to like +2 it will help bring a bit more red into the skin tone. I’ve noticed with default settings, CineD has bad yellow-green-gray skin tones but adjusting the hue on the camera profile settings helps a bit.

Just stumbled across your Sennheiser Shotgun mic fix. Older model. Seems to have done the trick. Much thanks. Love my Sennheiser.

The leaked specs made me think 48P was available in FHD and UHD but it seems only available in UHD crop mode which is a shame. The good news is the pricing matches my hopes ~$2,000 for the base and ~$2,200 for the X. In my opinion this is a great move by Panasonic!

Unbelievable! thank you for this

It kind of looks like the Canon rail is also arca swiss compatible? Maybe you'd have to remove the gear part but the overall shape of the lower part seems very similar to the Contax?

Iso on every photos different

Good video with so many informations! Is it possible to copy 35mm slides with the Contax/Yashica bellows and the Contax slide copier using a micro 4/3 system, I mean copy the entire picture without loosing part of the image? I own a Yashica 55mm 2.8 macro and a Tokina 90mm 2.5 macro that I could use for this purpose. Tks

Were you able to see the air bubbles while filming or only in post? Curious to know how you'd avoid in the future or if it's something you just need to look out for when diving.
