If you shoot on an L mount or other full frame cameras, what's your favorite zoom? I wanna try more out!

@sourapye 5 ай бұрын

24-120 from Nikon Z mount and 28-200 from Tamron FE mount the two lenses making me lazy enough to forget to bring prime lenses and even making me diligent to go out more often with cameras.

I have sigma 24-70 F 2.8 and lumix 24-105 F4 and these are really cool lenses. But the sigma has a sharper picture quality and a better focusing ring.

Just adding in to anyone who is "worried" about the money-spend and the lens-tech: the 20-60 is an AWESOME kit lens. You may even stop there for the time being, or get just a 50 prime afterward and call it a day. It's not quite the classic 24-70 focal range, but it is adaptable enough to work for what you get. The LUMIX brand of cameras have incredible ISO technology which pairs well with a lens that goes only as wide as 3.5. You still get decent separation and bokeh, but it works pretty well. I would argue that 3.5 CAN BE SHARP ENOUGH if you know what you're doing. Maybe not for shooting still portraits, but for video, unless a professional is watching, most people will not care about that part. Maybe you can't film local bands with it like I do for fun, unless there's front-lighting on the stage with lights, but you can definitely vlog in most daytime and dusk conditions.

Thank you for sharing this nugget. I just got the s5ii with kit lens and I spent quite some time learning the camera as well as researching my next lens. After readin this comment, i decided to stick with the kit lens and work with it until i get to some level before i invest in my next lens.

Good choices, good video. The new 28-200 Lumix zoom is pretty sweet! Just picked it up. Perfect for travel. I'd consider it in my top-3. The f4 -f7.1 f-stop is not a big deal when using outside on vacation (daytime, lots of light). My 24-105 and 20-60 will stay at home this trip... My 16-35mm f4 and the 28-200 are all I need for this vacation.

@LumixGang 8 ай бұрын

My go to lenses are the 20-60mm kit lens and the 85mm 1.8 for vlogging/photos and the Lumix S Pro 24-70mm f2.8 for client work.

@VillanuevaMedia 8 ай бұрын

The kit lens was my go to for a while. But switched over to the sigma 28-70 f2.8 and really love the size and quality it gives for the price. I’m sure it does wonders on the S5ii.

@nolannatashaTV 8 ай бұрын

What is the autofocus performance like on the S5 with this sigma? Worse than a native lens or is it on par?

@XploringPlacesFilms 22 күн бұрын

I got the Lumix 20-60mm in a kit with the S5IIx as well as the 50mm F1.8. I wasn't happy with the sharpness/detail on the 20-60mm so I bought the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 which is razor sharp. But when I'm doing color grading, I now add a slight blur to the image because everything looks too sharp for the film look I always go for. And in the end I get a similar result as I had with 20-60. I convince myself that buying Sigma was a good move because of the low light. But on the other hand, the S5IIx is so good in low light that I had great results with the 20-60mm as well. Low light is not no light. When I shoot at night in the city, there are always some lights and I don't like it when they are blown out. In the end, I have to admit that the 20-60mm is a very good combo with the S5 series of cameras.

EXACTLY. 20-60mm isn't sharp but thats why it's slightly cheaper but a great kit lens!

@DroneStories 7 ай бұрын

1. Lumix 20-60. Very good lens, but the lack of an aperture like f4 all the way made me sell it quickly. Also VERY STIFF zoom rings !! 2. 24-105, excellent quality, with ibis, but heavy, and with stiff zoom rings also. (not like 20-60, but annoying). Now I use this lens (24-105), but for the 2 reasons I mentioned, I would "rate" it 4 out of 5.

@Circharles 23 күн бұрын

what are your shooting settings for video? this video looks crisp. When I shoot in vlog it doesn't look as sharp. ( I have an s5iix btw)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I own 20-60mm and 24-105mm. Many dislike 20-60mm because of image quality, but I found it's pretty good :) What are yours impressions comparing it to Sigma?

Bought a used sigma dg dn28-70 f 2.8 for 609$ instead of 24-70 sigma art. Cheaper way lighter so perfect on gimbal. Despite i was going for the art sigma 24-70 I'm so happy i choose the 28-70 no difference in vidéo.

2nd comment: hey Nigel, quick question. There's an added focus grip on your 28-70, where can I get one of these? It might be really nice to have for the hands.

or I guess it's a "focus rubber ring" or something. There's geared versions on B&H i think?

@MrJerSep 3 ай бұрын

The 24-105 stays on my S5ii. With the ability to switch to shoot 4k 60fps cropped, this lens is nearly 24-160. It would be amazing for sports videography, and I'm finding it very useful for nearly everything else as well.

The lens line up is one of the weakest and most ‘boring’ I think and I say that as an L Mount user. The Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 plus Lumix 70-200mm f4 are my primary pairing but I have had many others.

@delicioushotorcold 2 ай бұрын

There are many Sony users eyeing up Lumix if they ever release a camera with FF 4K60 no crop, but the fact that they don’t even make a 16-35 2.8 is going to be a tough sell.

zoom lenses can be for sure, and the problem is the L mount is still relatively new when it comes to third party lines but hopefully soon there will be more good options!
