LUMIX S 100mm F2.8 Macro for L-Mount
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- The S-E100 F2.8 Macro lens for L-Mount has just been released by LUMIX, and it’s very different to anything I’ve used on a mirrorless system before. It’s a super compact lens for super small subjects, but delivers super-sized performance and in particular the Autofocus is on a whole other level.
I want to show you why this is the best macro available on the L-Mount today, and walk you through a series of shoots that go beyond the bees and blossoms!

The hair on the eye segments is basically required to keep pollen off the eye. They can swipe the hair without having to scape the eye.
Oh that seems so obvious now that you mention! Thankyou :)
OMG just realised I totally missed a pun about Bee Roll. What am I even doing with my life?
Your videos are so inspiring. Enjoy everyone of them. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for taking a moment to share that Carsten :)
Great stuff. Thanks for the brief Lumix 100 vs Sigma 105 comparison. I've been searching for this. I own the Sigma 105 already along with the S5 & S5ii already. Sometimes the focus hunting slow so I engage my focus limiter shortcut button but I guess that's not enough reason for me to swap or add the Lumix 100. Was thrilled to see you using the Sigma 60-600 as well. Reviews of that one with Lumix is hard to locate, especially for sports which is the purpose I'm considering getting it next. You've earned my sub.
Thanks for stopping by Sean and nice to meet you :) Yeah it's hard to justify upgrading from the Sigma 105mm, it's such a great lens already. Sigma are doing a tonne of great stuff at the moment. I have a review of the 14mm F1.4 coming out in a few days, and next month will have some hands on with the 50mm F1.2 to share as well. That lens is way smaller than I was expecting, so am very excited to try it out.
Ewen, thanks for your content! Liked & subscribed
Thankyou!
Great lens, wonderful video. Thank You for showing. Best regards, Kai the bee filmer.
Thankyou so much Kai, I hope your bees are happy and resting for winter now :)
My new favourite lens ❤ great review!
I feel so for the old Sigma. It just sits there watching everyone fawn over the new guy. Getting old sucks. 🦆
A brilliant review of what seems to be another stellar lens.
Thanks so much Zak. That lens really is something special. Gonna hurt to send it back.
Nice review, thanks. Lovely photos too.
Thankyou!
Excellent review Ewen! 👍
Thankyou Ben :)
Some un-bee-lievable b-roll, loved the bee content, great review
Bee-Roll for the win! Thanks for dropping in and thanks for the kind words :)
Love your videos man! Did you end up switching from the sigma to the lumix?
Thankyou Andrew :) Yes I did. I still own the Sigma but have the Lumix 100mm on loan still. We'll have to go buy one for ourselves, both myself and my wife love using it. I'm the road running a workshop right now and she's at home with the Sigma and she was a bit cranky about that!
Wow, looks awesome
:)
great review~!! 🫨👍🏼✨
Thankyou ☺️
Great review
Thankyou!
It is the same size, filter thread size with all of the lumix prime. Smaller than the 90mm sony f2.8. What an achievement!
It really is amazing how they're doing this. Some very clever engineers over there in Japan.
@@EwenBell ...or when Japanese efficiency meets with the German perfection. 🙂
My car is the same :)
Amazing review, and tasty footage ;-) That's the proper way to present a product! Congrat! I would like to ask what's your opinion - as an alternative - about Panasonic 85mm F1.8 and the Panasonic 70-300?
Glad you like the footage!
I used the 85mm for a long term project and it's a great lens for sure. That F1.8 is extra nice when you want to separate subjects further away from you. I can't imagine going back to it now though, not after using the 100mm. That's the keeper for me.
I haven't used the 70-300mm, so can't comment on that one. I mostly shoot primes. If I can't fit all my gear into a 10L sling then something ends up back on the shelf pretty quickly!
Thanks for the review, Ewen. It seems like a real winner of a lens. I would love to know, though, how the bokeh looks when stopped down to the f/4 to 5/5.6 range, where I am actually more likely to use this lens (as a portrait lens for stills or as a video lens for corporate / documentary on my B cam).
I did test that as well. When you're close to maximum magnification you still get bokeh, but as you step away from the macro perspective into a more normal range then it starts to look like a normal lens too.
Maybe I need to make a video on why I shoot all my portraits wide open :) Just for reference, here's a link to a photo essay of mine where all the portraits are taken at F1.4 on the Lumix G9...

you may use the front button(s) of the camera for that.
Looks great! How does it handle chromatic aberration?
I never saw any hint of fringing even under very contrasty conditions. Look at the shots of the backlit chinotto glass for example, all the specular highlights remain very very clean and the image is sharp without colors drifting.
Great video!
Short question: I'm in the market for a macro lens for jewelry photography for my Panasonic S1. What's your opinion? Should I wait a bit and order the new Lumix S 100mm, or should I go for the Sigma 105mm? I would appreciate your recommendation.
I think the Sigma is close to half the price and will deliver equally amazing image quality. It's a great lens. The LUMIX version shines for fast focus, which I'm guessing is not so critical for jewelry! Can save a lot of money and buy the Sigma :)

If money is not an issue and the difference in price is only 21% higher for the Lumix lens, between the two lenses, would you still choose the Sigma or would you opt for the Lumix.@@EwenBell
@@testbkk6314if money is no issue or the floor price is the same for both, the LUMIX lens definitely has the advantage. That AF response is just remarkable, and it becomes a much more creative lens compared to any other macro I've used. That matters when chasing butterflies or flowers. It's more compact to pack, plus uses the 67mm thread like all the other S series primes. So it's my favourite.
Can it take the 1.4 or 2x teleconverters?
I don't believe so. Purely 100mm.
Lets raise voice for multiple thumbs up for a video. Cant like this video enough.😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Sicher kein schlechtes Glas für L-Mount, ich habe kein solches System. Ich besitze ein große Zahl von Macroobjektiven für MfT, KB und GFX, alle kann ich mit Adapter verbinden, nur die L-Mount Allianz will das nicht 😢
I can put any of my DSLR lenses onto the L-mount with adaptors. And they work very very well. Have published a few reviews on that at my website. This review is for a very new lens however, one that is vastly superior to any macro I've ever seen.
