For me, the outstanding feature is the focal length, 20-60 is so useful. I’m not thrilled with the images I get, but I don’t hate them either.

This kit lens was the only reason why I switched from the mft to the FF (S5). My copy is incredible sharp; sharper than respective Panasonic‘s prime lenses except the Panasonic 50mm f1.4; the S5 with this lens reproduces much more details than the excellent G9 with the 12-35mm f2.8 PRO (!) lens! The only reason I don’t use this lens very often is that I‘m mainly for landscape photography where I prefer to use the 70-200mm f4.0 lens!

Well, you certainly seem to have got a whole lot of lens for a very good price. Those images look great. Although I am not in the market for that lens, or indeed the camera as I have invested a fortune in Fuji gear, I still found the video interesting as it is always good to keep abreast of alternatives. Your location also looks good and I am more than a little tempted to pop up there from London for a weekend to see at first hand some of the places you have visited. As a photographer you seem to have made a great hit with your attractive model as she seems very happy in all those photos. More than half the battle to get good images is having a rapport with your model. And finally, a question. Have you had a chance to review the Fuji 8mm f3.5?

Yes I'm putting the finishing touches to the 8mm video!!!

Bomjour mon ami! Seems like a few quid more would get you the Sigma 18-50mm, which IMHO is all around a better lens, although without the reach of your 20-60. Granted, the big equalizer is the £155 you paid. Where was that?? If it were a bit sharper I might be tempted. Anyway, have a good rest of summer. Cheers 😊

The Sigma 18-50 is a good optic but it’s designed for the APS-C format. I think Damian wanted a full-frame lens to fit his full-frame Panasonic S5ii body.
@DamianBrown Жыл бұрын
The sigma is rather nice but yes, it's all about the range on this one. I bought it privately, I think via talkphotography

For VIDEO, the kit lens is almost perfect. The range actually is perfect.

Smashing video!! Is that your own camera the s5? And what’s the focusing like on the s5 ? Is it as good as a t4 or t5? Because I’m interested in buying the s5ii
@DamianBrown Жыл бұрын
Yes, it's mine. For stills the focusing is very similar but in video it's slightly less confident.
@thebitterfig9903 Жыл бұрын
One of the most impressive kit lenses for FF. The focal length range just offers a lot, making it a really versatile lens to start out with. The other thing I find really tempting about the S5 is that it’s one of few cameras that offer the 65:24 aspect ratio for digital TX-1/XPan fun. Cropping in post can work, but the black lines of an in camera aspect ratio would make composition a lot easier.

In your opinion if I have to buy an S5ii, do you suggest to take this kit lens or the 50mm kit bundle? Thank you
@DamianBrown5 ай бұрын
Very good question.... and depends on what you shoot BUT... having owned this for a while now, I'd say this is gold for the price. With enough light/ tripod, it's a very flexible lens to own.

@@DamianBrown I like to take mostly photo and I came from a m4/3 system so I’m very curious to see the dept of field of a fast lens on a full frame camera, BUT for now my budget it’s only for one lens, that’s why I’m so undecided
