When buying a lens, there are just so many factors. When I was looking at whether to get the f/2.8 or f/4, the two primary factors were the subject matter I intended to shoot, which is studio portraits, where f/6.3 is generally as fast as I am going to go. More important, was the weight, and the effect it has on my back. The Panasonic f/2.8 seems to be by far the heaviest f/2.8 on the market currently and the whilst the Panasonic f/4 is heavy for an f/4, it still weighs in at of half a kilogram less, which is a big thing.
Thanks for the review. The focus breathing is essentially nonexistent with this lens. Impressive. The F4 would save some bucks, but for interior events F4 can be limiting. Dang...gotta start saving up for this one.
I think you managed a really good real life review of this lens, it’s a big investment and in the right hand an impressive price of glass, you’ve shown that here. Thanks.
It’s one of my favorite and also great for working out 🏋️♀️ 😆
I just ordered the S1h and this Lens 😊🍕 me as a Fulltime Filmmaker in Germany with a lot of low light scenarios is this Gold for me
You are so revealing , liberating unprofessional in your test. I really like it ! On the
other hand, it could be exatly as you do it, thats why it's so great at the same time. What you show us the most is the wounderful, kind of airy, soft and at the same time crispy look. Like a good wine. To bad its a little to expensive. Think its caused by the Leitz management I can "feel them" in the bakground. They will not let go a good lens "les expenisive" even if they could, so there for they don't sell to many of them instead. It's called prestige. To bad, I would like this instead of a 4.0. and as you with a tele converter. For now caused of the pricing, I dont whant to buy any of them. Still using Canon F lens with Sigma converter to the S5.s.
Cool thing is there are some good prices on the used market for these.
Thanks for the compliment, I’m just having fun and trying to inform and inspire.
Liked your review! The way you tested the AF was cool. The AF was much better than I had expected! Thx
If you have light it really is underrated.
This is also before we get the update and it was at 24fps at full frame.
Super 35 mode
And faster frame rates actually net you better autofocus results.
Exactly the info I was looking for my dude! you helped me make up my mind, definitely gonna buy this for my s5. Thanks!
Glad to help :)
Yeah this is next up. Loving the 24-70 on the S5. Cheers man.
I was jamming the 24-70 2.8 for the past 3 days.
I can’t wait for the 35mm f1.8
Sorry, but this test does not encourage me to buy this lens. Other videos on the net really epoch show that this is phenomenal glass. The lens has amazing bokeh. Why is this glass so good? A lot of people don't know but the certificated by face designation means that panasonic buys the patent/lens design from Leica and then creates the whole housing and autofocus system. Almost all pro lenses have faster AF than the SL series. For example, I have a 50 1.4 Pro and it is the best prime in terms of sharpness. Maybe other companies have faster lenses, but here in such a 50 1.4 sharpness and plasticity of the glass does the job. Compared to such a 50 1.4 SL Sumillux, the differences appear in the spinning bokeh and micro-contrast in the background. The AF is slower though.
I agree. This lens, along with the 24-70mm and the 50mm S Pro are fantastic, insane micro contrast and excellent sharpness if you find a good copy.
Oh boy, what a financial investment.. but probably needed for pet photography, esp outside, low light.
Wow it looks way better. Autofocus on point.
Awesome demonstration. Thanks for doing the leg work!
Thank you brother
Awesome review of a great lens.
Another argument for justifying the high price: on my S1H I can switch from FF to S35, right away adding 1.5 focal length, making this lens going up to 300mm effectively.
If you then add the 2x adapter you are at 600mm - Wow! Hope my honey gets the math and approves this huge spend -:)
Thinking in a way that the crop factor helps you save a lot of money and stops from switching so many lenses.
How does the focus clutch help pull focus? Do you memorize real quick what number each desired area of focus you want has to be? Or is it something you feel?
The focus moves accurately through the given measurments when it's pulled back. You can get from the minimum to maximum focus differences much faster. If it's not pulled back you have to spin the focus ring a few times depending on the speed you pull it at.
Love the review samples!
Great video man! Very helpful, I’ve been debating on doing the 2.8 or 4. I wanted to buy that adapter as well and had no idea you lost a few stops when you use that. Thanks again!
Definitely go 2.8
I have a sony a7 III and a panasonic S1R, I hesitate to buy a Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II lens or a panasonic S 70-200 F 2.8, it is to take sports photos in night with correct lighting. Thank you
Both are solid just depends on what camera you want to rock
Thank you!! Exactly what I was looking for. Looking to try this lens for a fashion show and a drift event coming up. The price point is high but willing to sacrifice it. I like to focus depth switch, main thing that gravitates my attention towards the 2.8 vs the F4. I got used to pulling focus a lot if my current lenses, so I believe the focus clutch will be very nice to have. Also question, is the focus clutch affected by the in camera setting for linear and non linear focus setting?
Oh yeah, you gona be reviewing the new primes? Was looking at the 85mm, nice little lens.
I’m gonna try my best. I have a 85mm sigma Art 85 1.4 and I have been heavily considering going all sigma for my prime lenses (mostly because of impatience)
I’ve been dying for a 35mm prime but I’ll try and wait for Lumix to make them.
@@fatherofbirds I hear ya, even though im way later to this system, its still gonna be well into next year before they finish that line up. Cant even get the 85 yet. Word is though, the 85 has the best autofocus results of any of the native glass, so hopefully that will be the case for the whole line up and we can dispense with the only current weakness of the system when needed. Oh yeah, also do you use any external gear for video? Monitors, gimbals etc. Wouldnt mind your thought on these as im looking right now. All the best.
@@leonardodosvinci4130
That’s refreshing to hear about the 85mm 1.8. I will admit I like the size of those lenses and the idea of using a gimbal on a 85 prime with such easy is very interesting.
So currently I’m using the Ronan S as my main gimbal. Works just fine for me now.
I probably would recommend to anyone to try and just save up for a Atmos Ninja V simply because it will also super charge your camera to shoot prores raw as well as double as a Greta day light monitor.
Cheaper options I use are the feel world 7 inch and 5 inch monitors which are both under $200 dollars and are great indoor but near useless outside. They do have a 7inch monitor rated for daylight that just released for under $300 that I haven’t tried but look promising.
I’ll make a Vidoe on the two I have in a week or so. My channel just hit 1000 subs so I’ve got some fire to make some new videos :)
@@fatherofbirds Great to hear man! Im so torn on the Ninja though. The V2 update brings the S5 soooo close. You got waveform, shutter angles, timecode etc etc, its all there really. Damn tempting for that 6K raw and external ssd though. Cheers bro, cant wait for the new content!
Gracias, creo que es demasiado caro. Aunque se puede ver por qué... la calidad es increible.
F4 and 2.8 parfocal? Probably my biggest requirement for these lenses.
All the S Pro line is par focal
Nice review! Do you happen to notice stepping when you use the focus clutch shooting in 60p when conforming to 24p in post? I've noticed that when shooting with my f4 70-200mm and 24-105mm f4 and shooting for slow motion, when I rack focus, its not smooth at all and seems to step horribly even with Linear focus enabled and i've gone through all of the focusing degrees.
Great af really. Nice🎉Thank you
Wondering what you think when comparing to utility with the 24-70 S pro 2.8, considering selling this 70-200 2.8 and getting a Meike 24mm Cinema Lens and a Lumix 24-70 2.8 for live shows instead. (Already have the Meike Lenses 35 ,50 , 85 )
For a budget option, would love to see a comparison with Sigmas or Tamrons 100-400 or 150-600 EF with the Sigma MC21 adapter. Any thoughts on that?
I think if you don’t need continuous autofocus those are all really solid option. I personally like the way sigmas work and look with Panasonic colors more than Tamron so my vote would be the sigma or the Lumix 70-200 F4
With the 2021 firmware coming the S1 is still a solid buy right?
Honestly, unless you need the flippy screen it’s secretly the best value.
You can find them under $2000 and the 2021 update is gonna push it even further .
@@fatherofbirds That's what I was thinking. Thanks for replying dude, an S1 it is :-)
great test btw, af works best in 60p.
Very true and even better on super 35mode
its more expensive lens, so beautifull quality . what do you things with mc-21 the ef 70-200mm f2.8 II ? on the second-hand market ? thanks
I think is great to use EF glass as long as you don’t need continuous autofocus.
I like continuous auto focus and I’m trying to keep all my lenses in the same family.
@@fatherofbirds ,thanks ! On lumix S serie lens, for video quality ? what lens ?
For non-national geographic wildlife, i'd rather carry a lightweight MFT sensor camera around than a FF 70-200 2.8... probably for national geographic too. I'd kill for this lens for concert photography though.
It was amazing for that. I lug a sigma 150-600mm around these days and boy there are some days where I wish I was on the G9 with 100-300 or 100-400mm lol
I love panasonic I miss GH5
So is the manual focus clutch different than just the setting the camera body AF setting to manual focus?
The camera remembers your focus distance on the clutch mode when you switch back to it from other modes. This means you can do focus pulls super easily between normal and clutch focus.
You also feel the soft stops of the clutch system quite clearly with your fingers when you reach each end.
@@mikkomonto6946 thank you! I'll have to test it out abs see if I can feel that while focusing with the clutch.
Nikki is right.
I typically will only use the manual switch when I’m using auto focus and it gets what I want then I lock it off.
I use the focus clutch when I plan on not using auto focus at all and pulling all of my own focus.
Thank you
You should try viltrox L mount 20 mm t 2.0 man
I’m trying to get them to send me one 🤞🏼
I have this lens.
We are brothers then. :)
Hey man are you still around shooting on lumix?
I downsized from a fleet of cameras to 1 camera which was a R5 for the last year but recently sold that as well to try and get a cheaper setup so I will be trying a Sony FX30 for the next month. But honestly with that Lumix Announcement on January 4th I may just be full circle and come back lol.
@@fatherofbirds hahaha bro come back, make some new videos and get famous. I’ve seen all of your lumix videos multiple times. Hope you come back someday lol
@@ChrisFlores22 Well that’s the kinda stuff that’s gets me going. I guess I have to come back now.
@@ChrisFlores22 your stuff is really awesome btw
@@fatherofbirds just come back period lol whatever you shoot on, come back. I think we need more TH-camrs who are actually out in the field making a career and honestly using gear in the field vs dudes who sit in an office and cry about cameras or make a review after a few days with stuff. Idk how but this year I’m going to try and make content as well but from a working professional standpoint.
Why don't use use an ND filter instead of cranking the shutter... seems kinda silly to have a $2600 lens but no 82mm ND!
I do it was just in my bag. It’s on for the B -Roll just for the sake of time I just cranked the shutter.
Sometimes it’s just fun to crank shutter.
you still shooting bro?
It has been on the back burner but I think it's time to star again.
@Father of Birds same bro. Same
You wired bro? hahah
Always
The lens is really 140-400/2.8.
Because the sensor is 1/2.
No it's for full frame Lumix s series
