So you recommend turning ibis off when shooting video?
Yup! Turn it off man. I know it’s counter intuitive, but it was the culprit in the warping effect.
Wayne Bonilla okay was just curious , tested the lens out last night and noticed that when panning. Thanks! Great video
@@lucrativestance No problem man! And thanks for the love ✌🏽
Wayne your voice is so soothing. Love this video. Thanks!
David Tinoco thanks man! I appreciate that, I’m glad you like the video🙏🏽

jerry486dx4 right on my dude! Yeah I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about the G7🤙🏽
I loved the review and I impressed by the footage especially the end scene when the gate is closed
Amazing work, Thanks ❤️
Thanks Mohammad! I appreciate that bro🙏🏽.
Great review and superb shots. I got this lens on Christmas together with my G9.
Oh man, those are dope gifts! Thanks for the love and enjoy your new gear bro. 🤙🏽

Fire Island Mavic you’re very welcome!

Gotta get a hold of this lens.
SeriousReviews thanks bro!👊🏽👊🏽
Video production is super
Right on man!🤙🏽
Ohhh!! I have the same problem with my gh5 using this lens when I'm doing handheld😅
Nicely done!
Not sure how much longer I can hold off buying this lens but I just bought the Samyang 12mm and, at the end of last year, I bought the Nocticron 42.5 so I should try and hold out a while longer 😂
😂I know the struggle man. But, if you are happy with the 12mm, you are at least covered in the wide angle range. Maybe go on the telephoto side first. I’m saving to invest in one also.
What’s your opinion in using it for interviews in tight spaces and low light concerts, do you have any examples? I am actually using the tokina 11-16 2.8 and it’s really soft wide open and almost got to go 5.6 or higher to get decent image and the widest can go with no vignetting is around 13-14
Great video! We're your test footage handheld or with a gimbal? I use this lens with the g85 and I notice some jitters when I am walking. Not sure if it's because of the gimbal but I do the "ninja" walk. I have IBIS off as well as e-stabilization.
Hey man, I have not shot with the G85 yet, but I know what you mean! I still get that sometimes. It sounds like you already know what you are doing, so the only thing I would doublecheck is the balance of your cam. Also, I know the G85 is lighter than the GH5, so try adding weight, maybe add a battery grip. It sounds counter intuitive but weight helps with micro jitters. Lastly, shooting at a higher framerate helps! I shot most of the test shots at 4k 60 and conformed it to 24fps in post. I hope that helps 🤙🏽.
Gracias. Y se ve que si sabes usar un gran angular.
Muchas gracias, Andrés! 🙏🏽
So mine just arrived having spent 3 weeks sitting in cargo shed at Hong Kong airport then another 3 weeks at London Heathrow!
But then it was only £381 so I’m not complaining.
Oh snap! That's great man, can't wait to see what you can do with this lens!
dang i was about to be satisfied with just 12mm for my wide.. i am thinking of used lumix 7-14mm.. what do you think?
Wayne what's your thoughts on the 8mm to 18mm Leica
Alfred Montaner sorry man, I haven’t really messed with that lens yet.
@@waynebonilla if your ever in Miami I'll put you on a boat
@@AlfredMontaner Yeah man =). Thanks for the love bro 🤙🏽
3:02 is so fire, what's this move called or how'd you film it?
Hey man, that's a dolly-in or push-in. I did that handheld using this technique th-cam.com/video/Bj24pdXrGx4/w-d-xo.html at around 7:04. I also shot this at 4k 60fps and conformed it to 24fps to get a slow motion shot. I hope that helped! 🤙🏽
Did you use a gimbal for the footage at the end? How does the lens do for stabilization? Looking for a wide-angle lens to film a running toddler. Was thinking this for the budget or the Leica 8-18mm for the stabilization. Thoughts?
Honesty, I would not get this if I'm chasing a child around. All of the shots I have here were shot using a gimbal and in the video I already showed an example of what it looks like hand held walking around. I do not have an experience with the 8-18 yet, so I can't comment on that, but if you don't already own a Lumix 12-35, I would suggest going with that, I did I review if you want to see why I would recommend it th-cam.com/video/LkNsBz_5bgw/w-d-xo.html.
@@waynebonilla Appreciate the insight, I'll watch the video now.
What is the difference between this lens and the new Laowa 7.5mm Cine lens?
tbh, I don't man... I know they came out with v2 of this with electronics. This is a full manual lens.
@@waynebonilla thanks bud. It seems that the cine lens doesnt have focus breathing
I got this lens for my landscape and architecture photography, but now the excitement is gone and disappointed has set after getting some pretty soft images on my last vacation. It seems like everyone has a perfectly good lens, but for a few unlucky (like me) that have focusing issues. The first few meters are sharp and then falls a bit out of focus. Seems to be the problem described on a couple of forums like dpreview
Claudiu Stancu oh man... I’m sorry to hear that bro. Thank you for posting here, at least people know one more thing they need to watch out for. Were you able to exchange or return it?
Wayne Bonilla I just thought people should know about this issue. Reached out to the seller, I might have gotten a bad copy (and some other people on the internet). Focus peaking in my camera shows almost everything in focus, focus marker is at infinity, but when I import the images in my computer they look soft. Tried short shutter speeds, long SS, auto IS, IS off (on the tripod). Don’t know what to think of it. Never had issues with my other lenses when using manual focus.
Please advise.
Hey @@claudius8002, I think you have done all of the things I would tried also, i.e. stopping down the lens, using focus peak, and messing with the shutter. If I were in your shoes, I would certainly try returning or exchanging the lens. Good luck man!
:)
