Steve Vansak Thank you so much, I think we are going to take a deeper dive on the 55mm 1.4 next

Joseph Briscoe thank you for the complement. I’m gonna keep pushing into L-mount territory. Hopefully, get a sigma FP and some more sigma glass soon.

Sorry, I've been gone for a long time. Became a father in combination with a hurricane destroying our home and positions. Hopefully I'll be back soon. :)

Working Title I’m been experimenting more at 35mm just because of my 16-35. Honestly, it my be my second portrait focal length choice just because of the fun you get to have trying to fit the environment into the scene in a meaningful way.

Captured By Kyle That 24-105 is really an amazing value. It’s quality is kill for a kit lens as well. Thank You, more videos I’m the future, heavy Lumix slant.

16-35mm F4 coming up next.

Thank you :) I’ve just had a child and had my home destroyed by hurricane. We are moving but once we settle I will get back on it.

@@fatherofbirds sorry to hear that (hurricane vs 🏠) and congrats (🍼)! Good luck getting back on your feet

iMagePro USA It’s still probably the best. I’m gonna make a video next week comparing A7III, Canon R5 and The S1H even the S1

@@fatherofbirds Thank you brother, keep the good vibes coming... I am planing to buy two of the S1H cameras for my studio, main functions: Wedding, Photography Documentary and movie, my question is, which lenses do I go for? As of now, I can afford only TWO LENSES. Many Thanks for your time and effort to share your knowledge.

Akiva Bernstein Thank you, working on a more deep review of the 55mm 1.4 for $150.

Glen Reed ooooo nice I’ll have to check it out. I jumped on the Lumix 24-70mm right when it came out because I had two cameras and needed it. I’ve heard good things about it. Is it as noisy as the 85mm when focusing.

The Raven Studio it is silent! Any of the Sigma lenses that say DN (designed native) will be quiet and great at focusing, however I believe there is only 3 right now (35mm f1.2, 45mm f2.8, 24-70mm f2.8). The 85mm is definitely noisy, lol when I first got it I thought it was broken.

Thank You

Good choice! That 16-35mm can be used for like 90% of the work I did thanks to that crop mode.

@@fatherofbirds for now I’m stuck with the 20-60 but it seems like it will be perfectly fine for a while!

@@makestuffmike that’s gonna do a lot of the same stuff honestly, gain a little on the long end lose a little on the wide in.

@@fatherofbirds sounds good to me!

Rikki Rockett's Legend Tripping Thank You man, I’m drooling over that 24-90mm. You have any videos up with it? I’d love to see them. 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤

The Raven Studio Yes! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8xhZMZ93JbKhqM.html

David M Thangliana This is 3 years of no life and not spending money on anything but travel and cheapest food, I understand. Honestly, now that my style is more defined I could recommend people pretty much all sigma glass and some third party glass if you don’t mind manual focus.

@@fatherofbirds Actually, I prefer auto since my eyesight is not the best

Dennis Spielman 😆 Definitely, I bought the 70-200mm 2.8 right after so I’m pretty committed at this point to the system. The 16-35mm F4 is great. The super 35 mode turns it into a 24mm on the wide end so you can do some 4k 60fps fairly wide even with the crop which is nice.

I notice there is a lack of reviews that aren’t cameras that were handed to people. Anyway, if you like the M4/3 line you will like it here as well.

Aldis Kaņepe Thank You, I have more coming. Deeper reviews into each lens.

My Brother 🖤 We are overdue, I need to take a trip to you soon.

Thank you :)

LA The 55 1.4 is a strong choice. Even if you out grow it one day it can easily be a experimental lens after that. The price is very strong and it is still very sharp at F 2.8. I’ll do a video around that lens only. I shot this on the flat picture profile with contrast all the way down. Everything else is kept the same and I did some light grading in post to get it where I want it. I don’t pull down sharpness because the SH1 has a AAFilter and it feels perfect to me.

The Raven Studio Thanks so much for the response! I plan to get an S1 in a couple of weeks, actually. And can’t wait to test things out and see what it can do with different lenses. The 55 is a definite though. Would love a video on the lens! A settings video would be cool too (just a suggestion). You have a new subscriber. :) Keep up the great content.

LA Just Released a video just cause you asked.

There a few videos on here with that lens . 2nd to last one I’ve uploaded covers why I think it is the most flexible on this system. Check it out :) Thanks for subscribing welcome to the S1 warriors

Thanks brother

Thank you so much 🙏 Unfortunately it doesn’t, but technically you can just crop it in post. The camera is just doing it for you in video.

No chance to test it but it looks like the least preforming lens native to the system. I’d probably recommend everyone saving their money and going for a used 24-105 F 4 for the same price. The 24-105 F4 macro is a amazing lens probably because it was a launch lens and they wanted to make sure they had really good glass out the gate. 20-60 isn’t bad it’s just fringes worse, it’s a little less sharp and autofocus doesn’t work as well from what I can see. Unless you really want the extra wide 20mm end of the lens go for a used 24-105 F4

@@fatherofbirds my concern was on size and weight (I need wide angle over a zoom), so maybe I’ll look into the 16-35 f4... thank you for your feedback!

@@SimoneSM79 I have that one as well. The 16-35mm is a great lens. Pretty flawless aside from it only being F4 but in most cases it’s fine.

hello , i have the same oly em1 Mark II , and thinking about to get the S5.. what do you think ? is worth it ? the AF of the olympus is perfect..

The 24-105 is a great lens but the 2.8s are in another league

Plus side is there are a lot of nice options in the used market :)

Thanks ma bio 🙏

It’s one side effect but not the core characteristic. I messed up a bit 😬

xiaofeng xu thank you 😊 ... can’t help these crazy eyes haha

Akiva Bernstein Thank you so much, 55mm F1.4 in the works

Sorry, I've been gone for a long time. Became a father in combination with a hurricane destroying our home and positions. Hopefully I'll be bakc soon. The key to good autofocus is as follows. Face detect (when filming myself) Sensitivity 4 Speed 2 Good lighting as it will create more contrast. Image profile with high contrast Cinelike D and Natural,HLG (in 10bit so you can still color a good amount :) ) over V-Log which I typically reserve for cinema work.

Jason Rae Thanks Jason,

It's good value if you want to manual focus more. 24-105 is a beast for the price, unless you need the low light keep it.

You may have a faulty body, perhaps try changing the color of the focus peaking see if that helps. If not send it end they should replace that for free.

@@fatherofbirds On the S1H, does the focus peaking dim when you start recording? Do you have an S1? I don't want to send in my camera for no reason and Panasonic online techs can't seem to say for sure if this behavior is as it was designed, or a flaw. Any S1 users reading this? What happens on yours?

@@JimmySaul888 I have a S1 as well, I don’t believe my focus peaking dims, when I get back from the tour I’m on I’ll check it out. :)

@@fatherofbirds That would be awesome. I just want one person to verify it. Thanks

Corrected in the comments

You are correct, and I should have mentioned that more. It does has an effect on the way object are viewed far away and close when focusing about but the part I mentioned is just a side effect to the greater issue you mentioned. It would have been better to state what your mentioning here. It’s definitely a more important issue. Thank You, for adding clarification. :)

The Raven Studio thank you for all the valuable insights, and I look for are to watching more content on your Chanel 🤘🏻

Hassan Kilani Thank You Brother :)

When Many realized this is was one of 3 lenses so they really did stelar work on it. It's amazing

I think it's the f/4 that people turn their backs on

@@jimee998 I agree, like unless you work in the dark with barley any light the 24-105 F4 is such a good lens for the price. It was part of there 3 initial release lenses so they made it really strong.

Yeah, to my knowledge I don’t think we have that. I’m with you though that lenses is a beast. I use it for a lot of home shoots. Recently when I traveled I’ve actually been using the 16-35mm F4 and 70-200mm F2.8. I love the versatility. Being about to turn the 24-70 into a 35-105 with the super 35mode is sick.

@@fatherofbirds Thanks for confirming about the step-less aperture! The 70-200mm is on my wishlist. Definitely! 105 - 300 on super35 ! In FHD pixel to pixel even a 210 - 600 :o . It's heavy though! I am currently doing fitness at home to strengthen my back :/ We are hiking a lot and my camera bag is already quite heavy. Cheers!

@@stevestrasser6833 I feel that, I just got off of a tour and I basically only travel with my 16-35 F4 and 70-200 F2.8 now. Waiting on my Lumix S5 to come in and also hitting the gym for the same reason. Lol

It's very good

@@fatherofbirds I purchased the S1H in October and ordered the 24-105 with it and your right, it is very good. Here is my KZfaq page, my latest interview I posted yesterday was filmed with the S1H. kzfaq.info/love/xRMk3DgdyFpCyvXkg-HrJQ

@@MrCapturedmoments nice job dood, looks solid. You would look into a road mic Go, it will clean up the audio in a pinc with minimum effort.

This is the full frame line so that run doesn't apply here.

@@fatherofbirds But the Canon 24-70 2.8 is a full-frame lens?

@@DanOsborne Sorry, I misunderstood the comment. Yes the canon 24-70 is a full frame lens and will work. Personally I’d go with the canon out of those two or the the sigma.

@@DanOsborne are L EF adaptor expensive?

The focus breathing is much better, they are sharper but the main reason to spend the money is if you want better auto focus. If you don't having EF GLASS, saying money an staying more flexible is probably worth it.

Keith Spurlock if you want the auto focus bonus don’t go for sigma, I have a 85mm 1.4 that I love because I like the length but I’m after sitting at 2.0 and manual focusing.

@@fatherofbirds thanks. How's the AF on new Pro S 16-24? I really wish it was a 2.8 and 14mm but I don't want to wait another 2 years for them to come out with one.

Keith Spurlock It’s really good, I find auto focus in general works better on every lens if you are not in V-LoG. The 16-35mm F4 is really awesome and sharp. I was considering going for the 14mm sigma as well, I opted out because you aren’t able to screw on ND filters. Though I’ve toyed with still getting it since when you do real-estate in doors you usually aren’t using a ND. The 14mm would be a Luxury but for me at this point. The next lenses on my radar will be a telephoto, Lumix Native Macro, and Lumix Native 85mm

16-35 is most useful if you shoot a lot of 4k 60 as well because of the crop.

Sorry for the long reply. I probably wouldn’t that’s a lot of great glass and EF is a flexible mount to have Incase you ever move systems

Essentially yes

If I could do it all again, I'd probably rock the 24mm 1.8 and the 50mm.1.8 (or 1z4 if you don't mind the price and weight. ( If I was only photo id go for the 35mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8.). that's the only 2 you really need for weddings and the reason I go wider for video is because I shoot with in mind I want 4k 60p and so I'll have the super 35 crop giving me a 36mm equvilant and 75mm in video on the 24 and the 50mm. Primes are sick and 1.8 is more than enough. though you could just do all the work on the 24-70mm and just take the 50 out for some really beautiful shots when you want that nice blurry background. :) cheers

They have been hard to find I got mine from B&H about a year ago.

Daimen Parker auto focus

Keith Goreham Yes, I actually clearers this up with someone else here and also in the next video I released. I’m gonna pin a comment about that here as well. Thanks for the heads up.

swcblad I have used it before. The adaptor it’s self is well made and gives you some extra option but you completely lose continuous auto focus so unless you like doing all manual I would recommend going native

At the time of this video was made that wasn’t even a thought, didn’t exist. Now a days I’d just buy lenses that color matched the other lenses you have. 1.8 - 1.4 isn’t that big for the size I do appreciate the look of the sigma but I kinda what to put that 85 on a gimbal.

They make it native to the L-Mount or did at one time.

MegaMatojo I think it’s very nice for a F4. Stay tuned, we just moved into a new place but I’m about to start hoping back on reviewing all my lenses.

It’s the AF this is a older video the newer firmware has a bit less pulsing .

@@fatherofbirds I see, thx. I shoot a movie on SONY fx9, and in some sits, where talent is not moving, close up, its ok, with A:F, if set to slow ! SO, you think this A.F from Pana, can do ok in that setting( situation ?

@@orangerecords_studio My videos are shot in auto focus. I find if you subject is well lit it keeps up 95% of the time for interview style stuff. If you have a lot of lights in the background you will still see a pulse it’s not as hash as in this video though but it’s still there.

@@fatherofbirds thank you sir !:) well, I am very exited on what Pana, will come upwith in the s1H,- II .buildt in ND, XLR , A.F improved :)we will see, great videos you put out . here

A 24-105 would be pretty solid. 24 is a good minimum for talking tot he camera do 105 is good if you wanted to zoom in. Golf is normally during the day so F4 should be fine. You also can shoot apsc if you needed more reach which is useful as well.

@@fatherofbirds I bought the Panasonic S5 so the kit lens is 20 to 60. I'll do some test footage with F4. Thank you👍🏾

@@fatherofbirds I won't be doing any zoom footage since I'll be filming myself and the camera will be on a tripod. You think continuous focus would be ideal?

@@BlackBirdieGolf 20-60mm isn’t bad either. 24-105 is a boost in quality and AF performance but you are at a great starting point with your choice. Same type of style just less reach

@@fatherofbirds oh I see. I appreciate your response and great channel!

Mostly it’s because I really would like to get to a end game where Lumix sends out updates that make the auto focus reliable. I also do photo and video work pretty equally and the still autofocus on these lens are very very good, better than video. I’ve spent a lot of the early parts of my journey buying bandaids and I always find I regret them in the long run and end up getting the thing I should have gotten in the 1st place. Auto focus is a big deal to me, more for the stills but I’m optimistic about the video improvements in the future and feel like this gives me the best set up for that. However the downside is all my eggs are in one basket and if I only did video I would probably adapt and focus pull a lot more. I do what you start a collection of EF glass so that sigma adaptor may be in my future. What lenses are you thinking about getting l?

@@fatherofbirds If autofocus is a big deal to you why do you wait for panny to sort it out...why not jump to sony/canon? Not hating , i'm a fuji shooter who's been eyeing the panny ff system for some time but as you know the af has stopped so far.

@@AcidicDelusion It’s a reasonable question. It’s mostly because this system has the least amount of compromises to me. I’m split photo and video pretty much 50/50 so I need what ever camera I’m using to be able to do both at a high caliber. Canon has good auto focus and colors and if all I did was shoot stills I’d probably go with them but for video I can’t deal with all the record limit and over heating. Sony is getting close but to me they aren’t as cohesive as I’d like them to me. The A7Siii is the only one I’d consider for video because I value 10bit as a minimum color depth I want to shoot on. The Sony A7Siii is a 12mp sensor and that just doesn’t make my OCD feel comfortable if I want to crop anything. Since the rest of their camera have there old color science you can’t even match the colors that well if you did mix and match their cameras. The S1H is Cinema like in so many ways with DCI 4k and shutter angle on top being able to pair with the S1 and S5 nearly seamlessly. Because of the work I do I often need 4 cameras that can preform both tasks. Video/photo. Weddings and full concerts. Aside from perfect auto focus this system gives you everything’s else.

@@fatherofbirds fair enough. I've used the s1h and unfortunatly had a play with the sl2 the other day....shit those are two beautiful cameras....i desperately want to jump on the L mount alliance...holy shit the sl2 is absolutely glorious (but some serious money) , but the 'pulsing and the 'not great' af scares me....although in saying that fuji's af isn't exactly that great either haha

@@AcidicDelusion Sl2 is pretty but I think the new update fixes photo AF almost completely. Still seems to be a little unsure in video if they ever send me my S5 I’ll be able to speak more to that. The S5 made the S System so much harder to pass up. When my GF and I shoot weddings we like to have 2 bodies so we aren’t switching lenses. We keep our zooms on the S1 and S1H because of their faster burst rates and plan on keeping primes on the S5s for lowlight beauty shots in between the core shots.

There are in fact I was just thinking I need to update this.

True

Music video in which I use V-Log And internal interviews & trainings for different corperation which ill typically use natural or HLG in 10bit

I’m gonna update this soon. 20-60mm looks like the weakest lens they have released. That being said it’s still pretty damn strong as a 1st go to lens. I’m not a fan of a non constant sprite for video though.

Richard Salazar I’m planning on stepping up my polar pro 82mm to 86mm with a step up ring. They didn’t look like they have many quality options for a native 86 thread. I’ll tell you how it works when it gets here, it should about a week with everything going on. 82mm polar pro is nice though. It natively fits the Lumix 24-70 2.8 and both 70-200mms I’ve I use a step down ring to the 16-35 F4 and have no issues. So if that step up ring works on the Sigma 85 the polar pro ND 82mm is perfect. I’ll keep you updated

The Raven Studio looking forward to the update just subscribed ✌🏽

I’ve debated on going all sigma for my primes

Both amazing, Colors require different (this is preference) Full frame is better in low light If you want cheaper smaller set up go Fuji if you want better low light and more dynamic range go Lumix.

I’m testing some canon gear at the moment. The RF lenses have some cool tricks but I miss the overall package of the S pro line. I miss the focus clutch a lot

Glad to hear you’re expanding upon your camera knowledge. When you say you miss it, did you switch to Canon?

@@jakekeele I’m using Canon/Fuji at the moment. Been toying with getting the Lumix Box Camera at the moment, at the same time I’m hoping for a Veri Cam update with L-Mount glass though I’m unsure if that will happen.

The sun cap meta

Arlen Wang Its going to depend heavily on what you prioritize. What are going to be the 5 main things and types of shooting you do?

@@fatherofbirds I use canon c200 but its so bulky . so think of getting a full frame . i like FF 1.4 , apparently canon has advintage on focusing , beside that everything else s1h is better except external recording , i wish it had cfexpress on panasonic ,sigh i would not think twice if its not sd card slots on s1h. so struggling , cant keep 2 systems too freaking expensive . btw the 24-70 looks really nice , i think the autofocus was totally acceptable . congrats

Oh yeah I shoot wedding ,commersial,landscapes, timelapses ,I want a camera could do all ,the s1h is capable of doing everything but tracking ,that’s where I got stuck at. Lenses wide I think L mount is much better than EF lenses. They were just too old

Arlen Wang So auto focus in lowlight is really the only place I switch to manual, I value Ibis and having the company versatility more than I value perfect auto focus. I don’t know why but auto focus does seem to work better in the color profiles that aren’t V-Log so I at times I will shoot flat or natural with contrast all the way down depending on the shoot. I find 10-bit color lets you push your unique style pretty good even in flat and natural. Also, the next Varicam Is rumored to have a L mount so there will be a legit cinema upgrade path as well.

The Raven Studio tru that joust like Nikon system when having flat image cameras can’t focus properly. Must b the log issues nothing can do. LUMIX IBIS is the king of all cameras I love that too. Thanks for sharing the video ,color was beautiful 👍

Thanks brother
