Nice job on this video :) You're the first one to show the LCD screen while zooming. Very interesting. Others have shown a video while zooming, but not the screen shot. It shows the ISO and shutter speed are not changing while you zoom, but as the aperture changes the overall exposure looks good. As the aperture changes the exposure seems to remain constant. How can that be? I don't get it.
Finally, a good walking around and travel lens for S mount. Too bad about the F4+, but I like the weight/range so I will also carry the 25mm f1.8. I also like the macro capabilitys. Thanks. ps: Glad you made it
How do you feel about this lens specifically for wedding ceremonies? I love the idea of the versatility, f stop is a little concerning but i feel it could still do the job with correct lighting. Would love to know your thoughts since youve had hands on experience with it!
It is pretty dark. Test it on a lens you have first maybe inside? I see it mostly as a lens to bring on a vacation or if you need to pack light. Not really for indoor events but you could probably still use it in those scenarios
@@JonackFilm Not completely sure about that. I shoot Canon also, My Canon EF 70-200 is gigantic and ridiculously heavy (very similar to the LUMIX 70-200) but I have used the Canon RF 70-200 f/2.8 on several Events both for handheld. The RF version is a little sharper while losing 2.6 inches in length and the weight reduction is substantial. I’m not looking for it to the match the size of the 85mm f/1.8 😂 But definitely smaller than the tank of a lens that weighs down travel work. I’m just in the mindset LUMIX is on a roll with these small form lens….if Canon can do, LUMIX can also tech wise. I just sold my Canon 100mm Macro that I’ve owned for almost 10 years that has made me a fortune against my original cost and bought the LUMIX 100mm the size difference is insane with size by size quality.
@@pureheartvisuals the RF Lens has way thinner Lenses that why it is lighter and a bit smaller. That makes is usually also more expensive because the glass needs to be Be sanded flatter
How does resolution compare to the 24-105? I’m looking for something lighter to take into the mountains for sports and landscape photography. I would pair it with my 18 and 50 primes
In future videos it'd be nice to see more results. There were so many shots of you aiming the lens at something and we never got to see what it was. It felt like I didn't get any insight into the lens at all until 4-5 minutes in.
First lens - may be, but not only lens. It's not wide enough. It can be paired with the 14-28. This would be a perfect travel range. Only negative point would be the switch between lenses at 28mm. I would most likely need to add a fast prime like 24mm/1.8 for the evening. For me the 20-60 would be more like the first lens. I would have to switch this out much less. I would add a fast prime for low light and survive without 14mm to 200mm.
Have you compare the sharpness of this lens to maybe some prime? I have a Sigma 28-70, my feeling of it is at 28mm it is extremely sharp, but at 50-70, especially at 70mm, I feel like it is a bit soft, so I am wondering if this lens at around 200mm is still sharp or it degrade the sharpness?
Yes I would like to buy this lens for my s5IIx also if it was available which it is not. B&H, Amazon and Adorama said they have no idea when it will be available for sale. What's going on Panasonic.
the sony rx10iv has better image quality than full frame cameras with approx 24-200mm zoom lens attached. has this lens managed to break that barrier and actually bring increased image quality?
The rx is 24-600 f2.8-4 I think. Nothing beats it for zoom and bridge camera image quality, but the FF camera will always have the advantage of better high iso performance. The small sensor of the rx is best kept below 1000
This would be quite a nice lens to put on the new S9. Very Versatile, but I would definitely not put this on my S1R after owning a Lumix 24-70mm f/2.8 and the mighty Lumix 50mm f/1.4
I have different camera bodies and lens that cover F Full from, APSC and micro 4/3. Ihave 4 Panasonic bodies, S5,S5 MKII and G9 and G95. I don't do video only still photography, the last lens I purchased for my S5 camera bodies is the 70-300 f4.5-5.6 this is a great lens, very sharp and great IBIS. This new lens may be small but it is not cheap so it is a lens that I will not be adding ,I have the 16-35 f4 and the 24-105 f4., I also have Sigma and Lumix. Prime and zoom lenses that serve me better than this new lens.
Damn that’s a versatile lens, I’m fine with the fstops, I’ll definitely check this out, thanks for the review
Thanks for watching!

It's a solid option!

I think it would be great for weddings
You've got me on the fence. I'm just wondering if f7.1 is too dark to use inside during events.
It is pretty dark. Test it on a lens you have first maybe inside? I see it mostly as a lens to bring on a vacation or if you need to pack light. Not really for indoor events but you could probably still use it in those scenarios
Yes it is too dark.
We need a similar size 70-200mm f/2.8 asap 🔥🚀
Come on LUMIX !!!!
that would be too powerful
Due to physics is this impossible

For my Sigma fp which doesn't have IBIS, I'm trying to decide between this lens and the 24-105 f4. What do you think?
That's tough. I'd probably go with this one just due to its size
@@DustinArmstrongPro Thanks man. It's also quite a bit lighter than the 24-105.
that is one cool lens..
Looks like I’ll be using that affiliate link to pick one up.. 😅 - another top-notch video as always, good sir 🫡
You're a legend and a scholar. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
would you pick this over the Samyang 35-150mm f/2-2.8
That's a good question. I need to use the samyang one first. I think it would be a great comparison
How does resolution compare to the 24-105? I’m looking for something lighter to take into the mountains for sports and landscape photography. I would pair it with my 18 and 50 primes
I haven't done a comparison but I'm sure it's very comparable if not better
In future videos it'd be nice to see more results. There were so many shots of you aiming the lens at something and we never got to see what it was. It felt like I didn't get any insight into the lens at all until 4-5 minutes in.
Yeah. In my opinion, there is no need to see the guy at all - just provide narration as we watch actual shots from the camera!
agree
First lens - may be, but not only lens. It's not wide enough.

Everyone's needs are different

Prime lenses will definitely be sharper. Have only seen comparisons to the Sony, Tamron, and Nikon versions of this lens
Yes I would like to buy this lens for my s5IIx also if it was
available which it is not. B&H, Amazon and Adorama said they
have no idea when it will be available for sale. What's going on Panasonic.
My guess it'll be available this month
@@DustinArmstrongPro still not available

Would this lens work for filming theatre shows, or better to get the 24-105 or even another lens?
Probably just depends how much lighting there is. As long as it's bright enough on the stage I bet it would work great
This would be quite a nice lens to put on the new S9. Very Versatile, but I would definitely not put this on my S1R after owning a Lumix 24-70mm f/2.8 and the mighty Lumix 50mm f/1.4
Those S PRO lenses are magic
What filter do you have on the lens in this video?
Freewell v2

2 much talk under subject
f7.1?!?!
Pass!
Bro, do less talking and more info spitting rather.
Do less commenting and more watching another channel rather?
@@DustinArmstrongProC'mon, the guy was just suggesting how to improve the video. I also agree with him. Too much watching you.
No.
