This is great. I just wish they'd put together an 18mm APSC version. On the smaller camera bodies, this would be so good. Literally entirely pocketable.
Color in the beginning of the video is very bad . I knew the Panasonic f 8 lens was a genius move. Many lens manufacturer's will follow. 2.8-22 is senseless when lens is only useful between 5.6 and 11. I wonder how it will perform on a5100.
This lens is bad news for Ricoh GR3! I think I could pair it with a Sony body and have a pocketable setup, yet more fun, with way better video capabilities.
Hey, Steven. Long time, no video. Hope you’ve been okay. Interesting news on that lens, but if it’s not Nikon F-mount, I’ve no interest. F-mount is short on pancakes. This would have been fun.

That would be awesome! I’d totally use that on my ZV-E10.
GR3 gets competition!

Welcome back, Steven. I missed your reviews and your humour. Cheers! //Rick
Perfect timing. Always enjoy your videos.
Interesting lens. Great review - like always. I missed these over the last months. Thanks for sharing.
Fun fact. You can use the sony apsc 20mm f2.8 pancake lens on full frame. (use active stabilization to minimize vignette)
I have got mixed feeling about this lens (I pre-ordered it). If I wanted to get F4.5 and fit into my pocket, I should have used my iPhone...
I just picked up an a7, this rocks!
Just to be sure, you are using a7c or a7c II ? There is a rumour that a7c is not compatible with the lens. Could you please enlighten me?
new upload. yaaaaay. :)

The beginning of the video was filmed in the rain after sunset. There was no light that day.
@@steve_heise first I thought it had to do with color grading in some kind of log

That’s what really surprised me. I joked about this lens and the A7C being pocketable, but then I tried it and it actually fit.
Not bad news at all. I have a Sony a9iii and a Ricoh GRiii. Nothing beats the image quality and pocketability of the Ricoh!
@@cbschrader I'd agree. Ricoh must have some great strenghts other than being truely pocketable.

I'm not a die hard shallow depth of view fans. But f4.5 is just too small for my taste for 28mm
