I agree about the focal length.... I have the 12-60 but dislike the variable minimum aperture. I would totally get this if it had 12-60 at f2.8. That would be a killer lens!
@@AndreasSando a firmware just got released for the lens - appears to make it produce more crisp images while improving lens-based stabilization. Could you perhaps test and a follow-up video if my observations are correct?
YES, I’m with you! The 35-100 is my next lens purchase and then I have most of the basics covered! Maybe I’ll get some prime lenses and vintage lenses, for the look, as well. 😊👍
I wanted to buy 35-100 f/2.8 from Ebay. My cousin accidentally bought 12-35mm and he came to Pakistan from UK. Now I'm stuck with this lens. I do Videography. What is this lens good for? Like what is the main use of this lens in Videography?
I want to say that you can use it for many things: wide angle and standard shots in films, portrait shots, event coverage, documentary filming etc. If you would buy the 35-100 as well you have almost all possible scenarios covered! 👍😃
@@AndreasSando I saved money to buy 35-100mm, My cousin bought 12-35 without even double checking! 🥲 I'll get that one too one day. Gonna rock it with my Lumix G9
@RumailSaddique I understand the feeling, I have to save to buy my gear as well, and when you finally buy it you want it to be right! But I can assure you that you will find great use of the 12-35 as well! What kind of videography do you do? Good luck! 🙂
@@AndreasSando tbh, I want to become a filmmaker. Right now, I want to make cinematic videos of different locations. I am going to try this lens and hopefully I won't regret it. Thank you so much for the advice. I'm glad I found this channel, Subscribed ❤️
Nice video! And so cool you used my music 🤩 was awesome to hear it used in somebody else’s content, so thank you 😊 fixed aperture is the best btw 😎
Thank you John! Your music was perfect for this kind of video imo. Hope you do more! 😃👍

It's a very good lens. I've had mine for a few years now and also have it's stable mate, the 35-100 2.8 which is a stunning lens.
The best point-and-shoot to leave mainly on the GH5 for most common circumstances. Very reliable and produces great images.
Couldn’t agree more! 👊😃

@@DungarooTV it did? Where did you find that information? I can’t find any on Panasonics website?
@@DungarooTV where is it?
@@ReadeRCZE I have posted the link numerous times but keeps getting deleted. Search for it and you will find it - a Japanese site with English text.
nice to see you back with awsome content...thanks
Thank you for the support and the kind words! 😊👊
It's supposed to be f2.5 @ 12 mm. Constant f2.8 is electronically controlled.
Wonderful video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! 👍😃
I want something for podcasting. Would you recommend this lens to use on the Gh5?
Yes definitely! This is the most all round lens you can buy for the GH5. Works for everything except when you need a long zoom of course. 😃👍
I need this lens... and its bigger brother 35-100mm
YES, I’m with you! The 35-100 is my next lens purchase and then I have most of the basics covered! Maybe I’ll get some prime lenses and vintage lenses, for the look, as well. 😊👍
Always put it in single shooting mode when vlogging.
Single shooting mode? What do you mean? 🙂

@@RumailSaddique that’s awesome, sounds exactly like me! 😃👊 Thanks for the support, I will check out your channel as well! All the best to you. 🙏
There is an autofocus secret trick to make it more accurate but you do need to expose your subject well
