@@darinl848I was gonna say… I don’t think this is true. Our fstop doesn’t quite change the same way crop factor does… it’s the same amount of light just a smaller surface area. At least according to the cinema lens manual I’ve been reading 🙃
...if you are looking for a little LESS depth of field. Everyone says it the other way around: full frame allows for shallower depth of field, less depth of field, not more. More depth of field is what you get with mobile phones, where almost everything is in focus.
You are partially wrong. Yes, the 25-50 does not extend when zooming. It's all internal. However, the 10-25 DOES extend and trombone out. I own both of these lenses and they are spectacular.
I feel like you get more value out of the 12-35/35-100mm f/2.8 combo. I currently shoot with the Leica 12-35mm f/2.8, the f/1.7 zooms are attractive however still can't get over the price tag. Great content.
Lumix really needs to put out some new primes. I don't get how they only have one f1.2 lens (the Leica noct 42.5 f1.2) while Olympus has 3 with their pro 1.2 series (17, 25, 45). They can keep making their GH series better and better, but we need new true premium primes. I'd love to see them break the f1.2 barrier and put out an f1.0 or f0.95!
M43 is due for an autofocus 20mm(40mm FF) f/.95 lens. It would perfectly compliment the 42.5mm f/1.2 Nocticron for shallow DOF on MFT. It would be large, expensive and somewhat soft wide open but it'd be worth it. But people don't understand the costs involved in making a large aperture m43 lens that's still acceptably sharp. Just because it's not FF, doesn't mean it should be cheaper to make.
I like M43 cause it has more dept of field. Putting more of the image in focus without having to spot the f stop so much. Too many RUclipsrs insist they need full frame and most of their backgrounds become out of focus. Hey check out the video of me in japan where my nose is in focus but not the background. haha
f3.4 depth of field, not "f2.4". The light gathering is still f1.7, but you multiply the DoF by 2. I have Olympus 17 f1.2 and 25 f1.2, those are DoF of f2.4
I actually think they are decently priced considering how smooth the image and the in-out of focus transitions are. I have them both and they are my No.1 reason to stay in M43.
I agree. If you have actually used these lenses professionally, you know they are not overpriced. For my classical video shoots I need zoom lenses for some cams (for precise framing, I cannot put the cams anywhere I like), that are sharp corner to corner at any f stop. Comparable FF lenses are at least the same price, and then your depth of field is much worse at the same f stop, so higher iso, and more noise than m43.
I got the set as well and Im having a super hard time with the auto focus on them, I updated them both. and its been a pain. Also the focus motors are really loud, and i can hear it on my xlr mic. any solutions??
They're older lenses but I've had no issues with my Lumix 12-35 and 35-100 f2.8s. Both have OIS and AF, but I believe they're better on the second gen models. Either way, half the price of these lenses for those who need similar coverage.
Chasing equivalence is always going to be more expensive on a smaller format(at least until you get to FF relative to MF) so I think it becomes more a case of whether the savings on the camera are worth it? what would it cost to get a camera with the features the GH7 has on FF?
Thank you for all informations but I don't have the budget for both. If you had to start with one of the two, which one would you start with please? I shoot almost the time wedding
Depends on the circle of confusion and your field of view - f stops are calculated on the lenses internally a f1.7 is a f1.7 full stop - to get the same f stop on a full frame dependant on where you are to the subject with a ff or MFT you have to crank up your iso increasing noise -
@@BarryMaskelldoesn't the same amount of light are coming to the sensor with ff and 4/3" ? Like we won't have the same dof but in term if light it's the same
I've been through a ton of MFT lenses (and those sigma art badboys) for my GH5, GH5ii, GH6 and soon to be GH7 and I bought the Leica 10-25 & 25-50 last year and they're my power couple for A/B talking heads. I also like the size, sadly for a lot of clients they see big, impressive, looking equipment and think "professional" ... sad but true! The size is fine for me, if I wanted a travel lens then you've got the 35-100mm and all sorts. These guys are beautiful and I'm happy to see some firmware updates!
That's my exact question. I thought if I was willing to go for this little sensor, I'd at least have nice savings on glass, only to learn that I'd get similarly fast glass for a full frame that was actually cheaper. It doesn't make any sense to me.
4:32 moire is really disturbing. Why lumix did't put antialiasing filter in this sensor? It reduces moire significantly and alters sharpness by not a large amount.
Micro 4/3 lenses will inevitably be much more expensive than their full frame equivalents in most cases. For example, a 25mm f/1.7 lens capable of resolving 25 MPixels on a small micro 4/3 sensor is a massively more difficult engineering challenge than an equivalent 50mm f/3.4 lens capable of resolving 25 MPixels on a full frame sensor.
Awesome insights, thank you. I had the same lens for the GH5 and it was a gem. I just wish Pana would start adding that low pass filter. Hope for the GH7II :)
I have been using both for a long time and they are excellent. I also use the 200mm f2.8 (same filter thread). It is a killer lens too. I think the 25-50 is probably the best lenses Lumix has made. You don't mention close focus, but it is good on both lenses. The lack of good closes focus on my FF system, is a real plus for m43s.
The 25-50mm is the best. Even compared to my expensive full frame lenses, colors, depth and microcontrast in highlight are among the best you can get. You must use the lens to understand. If you put it on the GH6, you get sensational image with rich colors and depth.

The 25-50mm has incredible microcontrast, brilliance and colors, the S primes look more flat.

When full frame start to have f2 f1.8 zoom lens, mft still has majority zoom lens at f5.6(the look), only two lens has f3.4 look. And I do not see any sign Panasonic will invest in m43 high quality fast zoom lens.
One generally chooses Micro 4/3 for size, weight, and cost considerations. Shallow depth of field is NOT always a desirable commodity. I use Micro 4/3 so I can get MORE depth of field for macro work, not less. There is a purpose for every format from m43 to medium format. Each has unique characteristics to exploit for different purposes.

You are so right, I am trying to get a camera and I can't find a really nice review of camera where like you said the whole video is filmed with the camera that I am looking for. Like how is behaving that camera on a vlogging situation, or when gets darker or too much light like real situation in this case for vlogging. I only see be rolls for a few seconds and that's it, res only taking about specs wixh I can find on Internet or what these camera reviewers don't like about the cameras.
Just got My GH7. I have a 42.5 Nocticron already and 12-35ii kit lens along with a Sigma 16mm and Tokina 11-16mm, Sigma 18-35 and Sigma 50-150 mm and a Helios 44. Going to do some Tests but right out of the box I noticed a Difference. At most I might get a Leica 12-60 used but Although these lenses are nice and native I'll have to pass for a long time.
I think those lenses are the best for serious video work and especially with the improved stabilization on the GH7 you don't need the additional lens stabilization. For me it's different. I need a light travel setup and go with the Leica 12-60 and some primes for low light. (7.5mm, 9mm, 12mm). For me, the 25-50 covers a range, I don't need often enough. I thought about using the 10-25 together with the 35-100/2.8 and the 7.5mm tho. This would be a definitely better setup but also a bit larger and also expensive.
@@GrenlandUnderVann It's completely enough for travel, landscape, documentary and such during the day. I also have 2 stops more with the primes and this is extremely important in the evening and at night. I know that I'm missing the lens for portrait shots with shallow DOF and the long lenses for wildlife or sports but this isn't a problem for me.
For the price of these lens would like to think they will work well with the GH7. Almost cost as much as the camera itself. Personally think content creators have become too obsess with having a fast lens. 1.7 or lower is great for getting that blurry background but is it really needed? For selfies and close up sure its nice to have the blurry background but for anything else 2.8 and higher is more then enough. Shooting weddings i stick to 2.8 most guys i work with who do client work use 2.8 or higher. Most top photographers using big zoom lens start from 3.5 and upwards. The stander films f stop is 2.8. has it has the best depth of filed.
I'm sure they are great lenses, but buying the GH7 and those lenses cost 3x GH7. Can you do a video for GH7 with good-great but more budget friendly choices? (Like under 500-700-900$? Because both the 10-25 and 25-50 costs around 1800-1900$ in my country) I hope one day these can be part of my kit but right now switching to Panasonic and buying the GH7, I can't rationalize spending around 5800$ 😀
When will we have a new M43 Speed Booster from Viltrox with autofocus, but a x0.50 Speed Booster? A 24-70mm f2.8 ff = 24-70mm f2.8 m43 (with a x0.50 Speed Booster)
@@xenalien355 Go watch Sean Robinson on Lumix Live. He's done lots of detail videos on the GH7, G9 Mark II, and S5 Mark II and IIX. Things like base ISO are detailed in them. MOST reviewers on YT have mentioned the ISO 500 base. It's a huge improvement on the GH6.

@@GrayGhostDog1 10-25mm with a 2x crop because of the physical sensor size equals a 20-50mm. But when recording in 4K, you can either use the full sensor or a part of the sensor itself. If you always use the full sensor, sure, it maxes out at a 50mm full-frame equivalent. However 4K only requires about 9MP, so you can only record with part of the 24MP+ sensor which is about a 1.5x crop (on top of the 2x because of the physical sensor size). 2x is the physical crop, while 1.5x is the crop on the sensor itself (digital) if recording in 4K (about a 1:1 pixel/sensor ratio). Of course it won't work with full open gate, but mastering in 4K, it's a good way to get some extra reach. Hence: Physical Sensor: 10-25mm -> 20-50mm FF. Digital Crop: 20-50mm -> 40 - 75mm
I don’t care about a speed booster or adapting lenses… I believe Gerald Undone’s video was done several years ago on a non-PDAF camera. The test would have to be re-done on a GH7…
i am perfectly fine with my olympus 12-40 2.8 pro lense. in full frame terms its 5.6 booke wise and thats exactly what i want for all of my video work. fast appature is for photographers and youtube wannabes
Amazing lenses (I've use both) BUT those lenses are now in the range of some fine full frame lenses from Canon, Sony, Nikon etc. Why would they think people would choose M4/3 over full frame? All they have to do is drop those lenses $500 and this system wins in pretty much ever category. I use the G9 (basically a GH5) as b cam next to S5II and it's hard to see a difference, so the GH7 must look basically the same.
I would rather buy fixed focal length lenses if the zooms don't have image stabilization. They are cheaper. I have a 25mm 1.7, 42.5 mm 1.7 , 14mm 2.5, as well as the 9mm 1.7. You can damn near buy all of my lenses for the price of these zooms. And the 42.5 has image stabilization. No way.
Panasonic does not add lens stabilisation for focal ranges from 25 mm and below. As for the Leica 25-50 mm I think they just tried to get a similar design and functionality.
All Panasonic products are heavily overpriced especially $2000 s52....... oh wow did we just pay For trip to Japan for every RUclips camera scammers...... no more anything from Panasonic anything from this company

Just got My GH7. I have a 42.5 Nocticron already and 12-35ii kit lens along with a Sigma 16mm and Tokina 11-16mm, Sigma 18-35 and Sigma 50-150 mm and a Helios 44. Going to do some Tests but right out of the box I noticed a Difference. At most I might get a Leica 12-60 used but Although these lenses are nice and native I'll have to pass for a long time.
Can you make a video on Olympus lens autofocus on the gh7? Specifically the 40-150.
make a video about the metabones 4.1 update on PDAF
I think those lenses are the best for serious video work and especially with the improved stabilization on the GH7 you don't need the additional lens stabilization.
For me it's different. I need a light travel setup and go with the Leica 12-60 and some primes for low light. (7.5mm, 9mm, 12mm).
For me, the 25-50 covers a range, I don't need often enough. I thought about using the 10-25 together with the 35-100/2.8 and the 7.5mm tho. This would be a definitely better setup but also a bit larger and also expensive.
Leica 12-60 is fine if you consider a f4 lens.
@@GrenlandUnderVann It's completely enough for travel, landscape, documentary and such during the day. I also have 2 stops more with the primes and this is extremely important in the evening and at night. I know that I'm missing the lens for portrait shots with shallow DOF and the long lenses for wildlife or sports but this isn't a problem for me.
For the price of these lens would like to think they will work well with the GH7. Almost cost as much as the camera itself. Personally think content creators have become too obsess with having a fast lens. 1.7 or lower is great for getting that blurry background but is it really needed? For selfies and close up sure its nice to have the blurry background but for anything else 2.8 and higher is more then enough. Shooting weddings i stick to 2.8 most guys i work with who do client work use 2.8 or higher. Most top photographers using big zoom lens start from 3.5 and upwards. The stander films f stop is 2.8. has it has the best depth of filed.
I'm sure they are great lenses, but buying the GH7 and those lenses cost 3x GH7.
Can you do a video for GH7 with good-great but more budget friendly choices? (Like under 500-700-900$? Because both the 10-25 and 25-50 costs around 1800-1900$ in my country)
I hope one day these can be part of my kit but right now switching to Panasonic and buying the GH7, I can't rationalize spending around 5800$ 😀
When will we have a new M43 Speed Booster from Viltrox with autofocus, but a x0.50 Speed Booster?
A 24-70mm f2.8 ff = 24-70mm f2.8 m43
(with a x0.50 Speed Booster)
you don't even need the 25-50, just get the 10-25 and 35-100 2.8 and just crop in from 25 to 35.
1.7 is very fast. Do you know what’s the base iso in VLOG OLor CLOG3 ok the GH7 ?
iso 500
@@sillie666where did you find that info ?
@@xenalien355 i have internet
@@xenalien355 Go watch Sean Robinson on Lumix Live. He's done lots of detail videos on the GH7, G9 Mark II, and S5 Mark II and IIX. Things like base ISO are detailed in them. MOST reviewers on YT have mentioned the ISO 500 base. It's a huge improvement on the GH6.
But because of such large and heavy lenses, the philosophy of m4/3 about compactness and lightness is not lost? This setup is more than full frame
who says m43 is about small everything? the gh series never was small . i dont want a small camera and i buy all gh series cameras. its perfect like it is.
There is not possible to beat physics. These lenses are sharp, cheap MFT lenses are not so good.
get primes and you will be ok, you don't always need big boys.
Got em both! Love em!
Dope video 🔥

The Viltrox EF M2 had better AF performance on the GH5 with the Sigma 18-35, I could test it to see the difference
Considering that with the crop, the 10-25mm becomes a 20-75mm full frame equivalent... 🤤🤤🤤
20-50mm FF equivalent- not 20-75mm!
@@johngwheeler Please read the full comment: "with the crop" (1.5x with the sensor, ergo 50 * 1.5 ? 75mm).
@@RealDaveTheFreak WTF?! Dude, it’s super-simple… it’s not a 1.5x crop factor. It’s a 2x crop factor. The 10-25 is a 20-50mm full-frame equivalent.
@@GrayGhostDog1 10-25mm with a 2x crop because of the physical sensor size equals a 20-50mm.
But when recording in 4K, you can either use the full sensor or a part of the sensor itself. If you always use the full sensor, sure, it maxes out at a 50mm full-frame equivalent.
However 4K only requires about 9MP, so you can only record with part of the 24MP+ sensor which is about a 1.5x crop (on top of the 2x because of the physical sensor size).
2x is the physical crop, while 1.5x is the crop on the sensor itself (digital) if recording in 4K (about a 1:1 pixel/sensor ratio). Of course it won't work with full open gate, but mastering in 4K, it's a good way to get some extra reach.
Hence:
Physical Sensor: 10-25mm -> 20-50mm FF.
Digital Crop: 20-50mm -> 40 - 75mm
I own the GH5 and GH5s and I have the Lecia 10-25mm lens. Its good, but its not as good in my opinion as the Sigma 18-35mm lens with speedbooster.
FAX!
Agree. Gerald Undone already proved that.
@@frankfeng2701 Yeah he did. I wish I had not bought the 10-25mm lens.
I don’t care about a speed booster or adapting lenses… I believe Gerald Undone’s video was done several years ago on a non-PDAF camera. The test would have to be re-done on a GH7…
Re MFT f1.7 is 3.4 on FF: Just stop comparing to FF !
Saves a lot of unproductive hassle.
unfortunately the 10-24/1.7 does trombone.
i am perfectly fine with my olympus 12-40 2.8 pro lense. in full frame terms its 5.6 booke wise and thats exactly what i want for all of my video work. fast appature is for photographers and youtube wannabes
Their not their lecia would expect them to cost even more
Yea great lenses but very expensive
Amazing lenses (I've use both) BUT those lenses are now in the range of some fine full frame lenses from Canon, Sony, Nikon etc. Why would they think people would choose M4/3 over full frame? All they have to do is drop those lenses $500 and this system wins in pretty much ever category. I use the G9 (basically a GH5) as b cam next to S5II and it's hard to see a difference, so the GH7 must look basically the same.
I have the gh6 with 25-50 and s5ii with all the primes. the Gh6 with 25-50 looks better for photos than the s5ii with primes
the lens firmware updates allow dolly zooms hooray.
I would rather buy fixed focal length lenses if the zooms don't have image stabilization. They are cheaper. I have a 25mm 1.7, 42.5 mm 1.7 , 14mm 2.5, as well as the 9mm 1.7. You can damn near buy all of my lenses for the price of these zooms. And the 42.5 has image stabilization. No way.
Panasonic does not add lens stabilisation for focal ranges from 25 mm and below. As for the Leica 25-50 mm I think they just tried to get a similar design and functionality.
dude don't make me buy more lenses! hahahah these are tempting for sure!
I was just wondering that
Can we talk about making videos and that gear is not that important
With these lenses Panasonic lost me. I like the small lenses and small body combo. The GH7 being bigger than my GH5 and a7s iii also doesn’t help
Great lenses but way overpriced. You can get two FF f/2.8 zooms (e.g. Tamron 20-40 & 70-180) for the price of one of these.
Try them, colors and contrast are awesome, I prefer my 25-50mm over most of my full frame lenses.
@@slows728 Like I said, great lens for $800.
@@slows728 Great lenses but not worth 3-4 times of the cost, definitely not to the clients.
Lenses too boocoo for me.
All Panasonic products are heavily overpriced especially $2000 s52....... oh wow did we just pay For trip to Japan for every RUclips camera scammers...... no more anything from Panasonic anything from this company
500$ pay to Leica brand
No way am I spending that much on those two lenses without image stabs.
There is no image stab in Panasonic lenses from 25 mm and below.
@@GrenlandUnderVann ? the 12-35 f2.8 ii has OIS
@@beyondthecutworldwide1 Yes, because focal range is >25 mm for this lens.
leica tax.
9 F1.7 and 200 f2.8
plus 9 f1.7 for superwide
9 mm is not that super wide.
