Thanks Steve. So far I have no issues with the AF when using the sigma adapter with my canon glass. The only issue I may run into from time to time is center AF but I tend to use Facetracking and it works pretty solid.

Love this channel! Recently got a S5 as my HS graduation gift. I'm mainly an outdoor content shooter who just used autofocus on Canon M series cameras, so trying to up my skills in manual focus. I am building my rig for the S5 currently, I got the cage, handle, follow focus, mic, and aside from my monitor which is coming, and a portable power bank, I want to get another lens eventually. I'm fine sticking to my 20-60mm, but I want a lens with a longer focal length. I've looked into 85mm, which is okay, but I like 70-200, and with the adapter, and the 70-200 f4 would be about $600. Would this lens be good for video? I would plan to use manual focus most of the time, but AF occasionally I guess. Or if you have any other options that would work good, please let me know

@LowellProductions 2 жыл бұрын

Congrats on being an S5 shooter. Sounds like you have a sweet setup. I highly recommend saving the money and getting the 70-200mm with the adapter as you can still pick Ef mount glass rather cheap. As for AF with that combination for photography you will not run into any issues but for video AF is really rather poor. That being said I only pull focus manually for video and have not had any issues especially when using a monitor which it sounds like you have. Hopefully that helps you out. Cheers

Hi Lowell, I shoot stills with a LUMIX S camera (not the S5 currently) and an M43, the AF is up there with both, here’s how I setup my AF and what I find works very well for me: Single shot with AF on but with lens MF override with pip, I use back button focus too. I also use AFC with burst which is good good but I shoot motorcycle racing and the I often MF using zone focus too, all depends on the circumstance, face and eye is good but doesn’t work for all circumstance, you just have to be realistic with your expectations. Native Panasonic glass does make a difference, having said that Sigma’s glass is so good nowadays especially the DG DN, oddly the sharpest glass I have is the Sigma 50 f1.4 but it has the HSM focus which struggles for AF, but I use MF more often than not. I’m looking at the S5 for stills and lowlight and to explore video which is one reason that I found your great channel. Really interested in the stills side of the S5 though, especially lowlight. Thanks Lowell..👏

@markedwards4787 Жыл бұрын

So good to hear of an alternative to the expensive panasonic 70 200 2.8.. or f4. Would you still go for the canon and mount for the s5 or go with l mount glass? I'm going to be doing dog photography so might need 2.8?

@LowellProductions Жыл бұрын

Hey Mark, if your gonna be focusing on photography first, then video. I would choose native glass just to get the better AF results, which are slightly better than the adapter route. But like I mentioned in the video the AF is still solid with the adapter its just the native glass seemed to be a hair quicker when pulling/nailing focus. As for f2.8 its great to have but the S5 native ISO are 640 and 4000 which should mean you are fine in most situations even at f4. I even find myself shooting at ISO 6400 and still get rather good results. Cheers Mark

Hey Trey! I know this video has been made quite a while back, but how does the IBIS in the S5 work with the IS in the lens?

@LowellProductions Жыл бұрын

Hey Jeffery, in my experince with the S5 and canon glass that has Lens IS, typically if both the Lens IS + the camera IBIS is activated they both work and in my opinion get great results. I not gonna say that you wanna always shot fully handheld but when I add my monitor, vmount, cage, handle, etc. I find the handheld footage is very reliable even when shooting 24fps. I tend to sometimes add stabilization in post but most if the time the footage looks great even with out the extra editing. Hopefully that makes sense. I think if you have had any experience with the GH5 and its IS results you will be really happy with the S5. Cheers

Does the Panasonic allow for IBIS + IS in the lens to work together? I have read that for Sony, with the MC-11, you can't use both IBIS and IS at the same time.

Stabilization is 5 stops with IBIS and 6.5 with combined (Only few approved Lumix S lenses allow this additional)

If you have it in your budget I would try to get something lower than an F4 but you can still get the job done with the f4 for sure. Is your looking to save I still think you will get good results either way. Cheers

hi, first of all- your videos are very professional! my second income is shooting small events(video+stills) and short films, special for Elementary school(students are actors). i have the canon 6d2 and some good tamron lenses(15-30, 70-200, 24-70 all f2.8 g2 and 35mm 1.4). is upgrading to the s-5 safe?:)I'm very worried. some videographers told me to buy only canon body(R5,R6..) because the lenses wont work well with s-5 body. have to say that i dont like the af for stills of my 6d either!! not acurate at all. in the other hand, manual focus for photography(with adapter to my lenses) won't becomfortable at all. what do you think? price here in my country for s-5+20-60 kit lens :2350$

@LowellProductions Жыл бұрын

So overall if you happen to purchase the S5 for photo and video I think you will be nothing but happy compared to the 6D, the pictures that S5 captures are amazing and I find I get very little grain even in low light situation shooting at an F4. For video I truly think you will be mind blown compared to your current setup. For photos + the mc-21 adapter + canon glass I found the AF to work rather well, but the true is the AF for video when paired up with the canon glass is crap, but its useable if your behind the camera, but definitely not great if your continuous just filming yourself. Cheers sir

I'm 100% sure the S5 video features and resolutions will keep you busy for a while and panasonic IBIS is great. Also for photo, even when I used ef mount glass with the sigma speedbooster the AF was nice for photography. Overall the S5 has meet every need I have. Cheers Hsuman.
