It makes me so happy when I see that the camera that I chose to buy has new additions for the L mount. This is great! And Ed, when I think I've seen the best of you, you get this video out. It is important to have a good tool but only a skilled person can get it to do what it does. I really need to learn from you!
Yeah, I have a lot of faith in Panasonic and I'm super excited to see what they've got lined up this year. Had a lot of fun with this lens, everything in this vid was pulled together quite quickly - I wish I'd had a bit more time and included a section on stills.
Hi Ed! I'm a Sony user, but for days I am considering switching to the Lumix S5II system. I have been looking at optics options, and I am TOTALLY IMPRESSED with the results of this macro lens, apart from your incredible capabilities as a filmmaker obviously. So you already have a new subscriber/follower and soon a Lumix user too. Your video totally convinced me. ❤️
Wow great to hear! I've shot on Sony cameras throughout my career, and occasionally have to jump on an FX3 or FX6 for certain jobs. But for cost / features / image I think the new LUMIX S5 mark2 cams are amazing.
Nice video dude looks like a great lens. I’m doing some work with the Godox panels at the moment, have to say they are amazing, I look forward what you have to say about them soon.
Video suggestion: could you make one explaining the autofocus modes, best settings and use of autofocus on the s5iix? there is little content about it on the internet
I will add it to the list, but honestly I'm not a huge AF person so I'm not particularly knowledgeable in this area. I tend to rely on one area or one area plus. If I can find time I'll knock a vid out!
@@cAPIVARAff actually I am planning to make a video on something along those lines, about how having a good AF cam has changed my workflow - so maybe I can sneak some settings into that vid!
One of the best! videos i've seen on youtube in terms of directing, angles, samples & colour grading!! Amazing Work!! which editing software do you use? could you recommend. I have a sony fx3 / shooting 4k video / wondering which is the best editing software for editing, colour grading etc...all in one go.
When you were shooting at the printing place and tapping on the screen to autofocus - would a follow focus and manual focus not be better for things like that? To avoid any hunting ruining the shot? Oh and also the beer. And I guess the movement of the beer can was due to a wobbly floor or surface? Might be good to clarify that was not a camera or lens error. It's much cheaper in the US, if people have friends or family there to buy it and send to them - £782.53 vs £999 - £200 / 20% saving. I think this, the 35mm 1.8, and the 24-70 2.8 would be a great combo. Maybe the 18 or 24mm 1.8 too.
Yes if tracking focus (probably, although the AF is pretty competent if you set it up properly), but I just wanted it to lock onto a single point and remain there - for this the touch screen is perfect
@@anirudhtd2670 I have the "clear image zoom" feature in the fx3 at 1.4x no loss in quality, plus it's the equivalent of a 90mm, I wonder how it would look like if Ed tries it for the Lumix mount version.
This is unrelated to the current vid BUT have you heard about Kolari Vision offering an OLPF installation for the S5II? I remember you previously stating you found the sharpness of the sensor to be a downside so I thought you would like to know!
I have seen it, yes! Not quite sure I can justify the price tag atm or sending off my cam for a few weeks... but it's tempting. I feel like it's most benefit for people who experience moiré like a lot of wedding filmmakers suffer from with suits - I don't tend to hit up against it as much. Of course I'd love the softer image it'd produce but I also have my EVA1 or Komodo for that.
@@EdProsser Yeah, for sure. I do hope this causes us as consumers to maybe start demanding OLPF more or maybe that manufacturers could also provide an OLPF version of cameras aimed at filmmakers similar to what Blackmagic do with the Ursa 12k.
@@Sodacake it'll be interesting to see what they do with their next flagship camera update. I think the issue is balancing the needs of stills users with video shooters, cinematographers and content creators they all need diff things and difficult to please all in a single body (and at cost). The S5 isn't a huge flagship cam and delivers some amazing features at a ridiculous price, for me I can swallow the lack of OLPF, but I love that there's now an option to add one for those that absolutely need it. My main issue with the mark 2s is the internal processing and oversharpening - whatever is going on there. I actually noticed it when shooting this vid, the eye shot on the thumbnail has some weird digital sharpening artefacting on the outer curvature of the eyeball. Hard to see on YT but sticks out in Resolve.
@@EdProsser That's weird. I can't imagine they thought that would be useful for the filmmakers. It must be an artefact left over from the still image processing tuning on the sensor maybe?
@@Sodacake maybe or something to do with the phase detect AF system, as this isn't seen in the original S5. For video, I actually prefer the slightly softer image of that cam.
Yah, this thing is amazing! Especially for the work i do. Probably the only lumix lens i get since they are clinically super sharp (not my particular flava) but in this case….this lens is stellar.
Yeah I have a soft spot for the LUMIX S lenses, obvs they're sharp / modern but they have a nice look to them that I don't mind. What do you tend to shoot with?
@@EdProsser oh for sure, however it’s something i never really liked bout how sharp lumix lenses are, almost sometimes looks fake lol. Canon still has a natural look to them even being as sharp as they are, if that makes sense.
It's a plugin pack from Motion VFX I have a link here and 10% discount if interested (code: PROSSER10) www.motionvfx.com/store,mtransition-noise-dvr,p3907.html?Impact&EdProsser&TransitionNoiseDVR&irgwc=1&clickid=zRuQA8W8jxyPUHVSfDz1MWvyUkH2SR01GVzYV40
Would you recommend this for portraits too? I’m between the 85mm or 100mm, but I’ve heard from another review that this lens doesn’t have Optical Image Stabilization
It's great for portraits and people - if you go to the IBIS section of this vid - lots of handheld shots shooting my partner Stef. So you don't have to reserve it for tiny things! And all the same AF features like face / eye tracking will work.
@@EdProsser that’s awesome. I shoot High-End Weddings and have held on to a Canon 100mm purely for this reason to double as a lock off shoot and it’s primary Macro duties. 😒 I have to adapt of course added more to my bag but this as for sizing with my LUMIX S 35 & 85 I wanted a 100mm but feared it would have focusing limitations. Thanks for a top tier preview Brother. I will definitely come back and bless your link 🔗
I am mainly a cinematographer but finally heading over to learn Editing with DaVinci. I’m going to have to watch your color grading tips videos as I think I am about to go down a big rabbit hole 😂 Great Color Brother.
@@EdProsser i own the first version 50mm F4 Macro takumar (It has so much focus breathing by the time you reach macro distance its more like 90mm FOV wise). It's got a 1:1 magnification.
Dude, I always love your content! I think you nearly had me buying a Panasonic EVA1 with your video haha. Btw man I hope I don't sound mean or whatever but you look a little worse for wear in this video, I hope everything is alright and youre not overworking yourself!

Another cracking video Ed with beautiful images throughout. Cannot believe LUMIX have made a 100mm macro that small - exciting times we live in!
Thanks James! Yeah it's kinda nuts isn't it. I really like the idea of having a set of these primes for smaller jobs. They're so competent

Great lens! And just sharing how you shoot with it teaches me so much. Thanks!

100mm Macro lens is somehting I've always wanted to try, I dont shoot lumix but this convinced me that the 100mm is the move for product shots.
Yeah it's pretty versatile! Great for macro and portraits
top notch quality, well done
👍
a well shot and comprehensive review :)
Thanks for checking it out Eva!
Killed this AGAIN Ed. Loving everything from you. I don't even own an L-mount camera, yet here I am 😅
Thanks man means a lot. Am loving your channel!
@@EdProsser thanks man 🥲
Just starting to watch this video. I am really eyeing for this lens for serious video work. Hope it’s worth it.

I work in Resolve
black text is neat. though i normally just use manual focus for makro, i assume it's focus by wire?
Yeah it's an electronic focus wheel but can be mapped for linear response, still you lose that tactile response you get with the vespid
Great review. Love your b-roll
Your turntable's needle is as hairy as mine 😂

There are a few diff grades in this - which shots are you interested in ?
