I have two of them and it is suuuuch a great thing! I had Sony before and the 35 1.8 and 85 1.8 are great in IQ, but each prime has a different look to the image and size and handling, the lumix experience and then matching pictures later all so much better.

The entire 1.8 line its amazing, tip tier quality but human price. The fact they share filter and almost the weight its a game changer,you can change multiple prime witouth recalibrate gimbal or yourself…

My pleasure, thank you for watching!

Thank you!

@@TheHybridShooter Would love a comparison if possible b/w the sigma 105mm, Sony 90mm and this lens.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Panasonic all the way

No matter the system, use a gimbal if stabilization is important to you.

I loved the colors of the A7Riii- the S5ii are similar (I think I still prefer the A7riii), but I gave up sony due to stabilization. it was clear that I was never to get the advanced features in bodies below 3k cost, and I do lots of video. I had to throw away so much footage due to micro jitters...

I don’t know anything about S1R II, I intend to borrow regular S1R to retest some L-mount lenses.

Thank you! Pixel shift doesn't work like that. It is not a substitute for high-res sensor in the sense that it reveals resolving capabilities of the lens. It basically bypasses the de-bayering process by acquiring exact values for all 4 sub-pixels, but it does so using the same resolving capabilities as in the non-pixel shift mode. Judging the resolving capabilities of a lans using a pixel shift mode would be very misleading.

@@TheHybridShooter There are two distinct methods of action in pixel shift. The first is as you described, shifting by whole pixels so that every pixel is fully chroma sampled, which doesn't increase luma resolution but does increase chroma resolution while also reducing demosaicing artifacts. The second method is shifting by sub-pixels, ie 1/2 pixels, which actually does increase resolution because it samples at intervals between pixels, which does approximate a higher density sensor albeit with some resolution-limiting effects such as microlens offsets for the sub-pixels.

​ @BobWilliams-kk1zz It doesn't really matter which method is used. Optical imperfections are captured at photosite (sub-pixel) level and that will always be 4 times larger on a 24 MP sensor than on a real 96 MP sensor. Pixel shift can do nothing about that. Shifting by sub-pixels is still happening in order to capture exact value of each sub-pixel. This process does not approximate higher-resolution sensor. It enhances the image within the resolving limits of the lens at given resolution. It won't reveal more imperfections in the same way that 96 MP sensor would, it will just give you the best possible image quality that is possible with 24 MP sensor. That is evident with Sony pixel shift which offers both 4 shot ( which keeps the resolution at 60 MP) and 16 shot (which increases the resolution to 240 MP) modes, but the 4 shot mode captures the same amount of detail as the 16 shot mode, whilst keeping original resolution. I have talked about that in my A7R IV review. The only difference is that you can either get 60 MP file with bypassed de-bayering (4 shot mode) or debayered 240 MP file with the same amount of detail.

you wont need it. the ibis of the s5ii is so good

@@sundaydr1ve Won't need it is a relative term. OIS is more effective at this kind of focal length... it is a compromise to achieve that size.

I have to disappoint you, I have no information about Panasonic’s upcoming or not upcoming high-res body. I intend to borrow 5yo S1R to retest some L-mount lenses. Saying that I have tested unrumored camera with better IBIS was hardly a G9 II slip, I don’t think that anybody even guessed that correctly :)

@@TheHybridShooter so saaaaad ;-)

@@AIP404 So does Leica use Panasonic's designs and manufacture or the other way around?

I don't think that anybody cares about Leica branding when it comes to more serious products. I am also surprised that it is not a red badge lens, I don't think that it is tied to "Leica certification".

@@spakecdk Most manufacturers outsource lens design these days, so probably neither. We will never know unless some patent leaks.
