      It's great! We didn't have it perfectly calibrated, so I think I bit more time to set it up properly would solve some of that.

    Looks amazing.
    They seem kind of like the Fujinon MKs but just a bit lighter.
    I wish Laowa or another manufacturer would bring out a 20-55 for full frame. That 28-75 is just not wide enough.

    • @EdProsser

      16-30mm t2.9 will be released soon. And it’s smaller than the other full frame lenses

  • @stevieweir301
    @stevieweir301 Місяць тому +1

    These genuinely look great - I had tried the DXO catta zooms a while back and did not like them at all - The flare on these looks excellent.
    The E stabilisation tip on the s5ii is also genius.
    Does that work in the Full frame open gate mode and give decent coverage? So rather than cropping into the already cropped s35 frame?
    That could possibly give you a open gate-esq s35 (I believe the E stabilisation High is like a 1.3/4 crop).

    • @EdProsser
      @EdProsser  Місяць тому +2

      I believe the e-stab doesn't need to crop much more in on S35 mode as it's already cropped in on sensor so has enough room to work. Open gate 6k with e stabilisation set to high also gave a full open gate FOV (just about) only issue with that is you get a much slower sensor read out, so I prefer using S35 mode for faster sensor readout and reduced rolling shutter

    • @stevieweir301
      @stevieweir301 Місяць тому +1

      @@EdProsser - It looks to me like the E-stab does still crop in a fair whack on high in S35 mode but I totally hear you about the rolling shutter performance!
      Patiently waiting on word out of the Lumix summit happening in Japan right now.

    Love this, great video! We have the DZO Pictors 20-55 & 50-125 and are looking for a wider but probably won’t get another Pictor (your thoughts on them are correct). How do you think the 11-18 would look on a EVA-1? /Markus

    • @EdProsser

  • @majcyy
    @majcyy Місяць тому +1

    looks like exactly what I was searching for ...except the fact that there's no EF version, I'd love to pair them with my Revolva, any idea why there's no EF version? the full frame PL set has interchangeable PL/EF mount

    • @EdProsser
      @EdProsser  Місяць тому +1

      Yes there are EF mounts available, the mounts are also user interchangeable too which is cool! So you can use pretty any mirrorless mount as well.

    @Sodacake Місяць тому

    Unrelated to the lenses (which look great btw), but it's insane how the grain all but vanishes in 1080p due to compression and then in 1440p it comes right back. The bitrates must be way higher than I thought.

    • @EdProsser
      @EdProsser  Місяць тому

      I know, UA-cam compression quality has taken a nose dive over the last year, it's a shame, lots of my older videos now like ok pretty ropey, even in 4k the quality just isn't there any more.
      I'm sure they will start launching a 4k premium tier to their paid service soon.

    How do you compare these lens with Vespid primes ?

    • @EdProsser
      @EdProsser  Місяць тому +1

      Unfortunately I didn't have time to do a side by side with them, anecdotally the Vespids are sharper and have better performance at T2.9 but also the size of 1 vespid is pretty much the same or larger than these zooms, in most cases they are heavier too!
      If I can get a set of pictors in I will do a 3 way comparison

      I shoot often solo (without an ac) on my fashion photo shoots some image clips without a matte box just out of the hand. Happy to keep it easy.

      I always include some REC 709 footage in there with the more controlled lens tests - but also want to show what the lenses are capable of in the context of a professional project. There are other channels who will give you lab style tests, I don't have the resources for that - I'm showing real world use and what I can achieve with the equipment - and how it inspires me to create certain images.
