    Hey man, thanks for this! Mine is arriving and Thursday and can't wait to shoot with it. Just wanted to give you a shout out that I love how interactive you are with your comment section. Keep up the quality work!

      thanks Dillon, cheers dude.Your gonna love this lens, its crazy heavy but i have dropped it now several times and it still keeps going the build quality is super solid compared to most of my other glass. What camera are you gonna be paring it up with?

      I have a buddy that's letting me shoot him tomorrow evening to try it out. Super stoked. I'm looking forward to shooting interviews now, since in my main job, I do corporate shoots.
      It'll be on a G85. I usually run it on a Ronin SC, but I'm thinking since the DSLR is so light it won't be too much trouble to balance with the new lens. Good to know that it's so sturdy. Tripped and fell walking backwards at my last wedding shoot, so I know it happens! Thanks for the reply man!

      Hey man I have a GH5 and I’m finding it really hard to figure out what lens bundle do I go for Rokinon or Meike?
      I saw your other video about Rokinon being amazing now I’m confused between the two?
      Which 1 do I go for ? And with GH5 is it better to buy MFT lenses or buy EF mount ones?

    Hey man are you based out of Florida? I had the meuke 16.
    It was a clean image but not enough bokeh for me but I'd like to get the 12 for sure.

    • @LowellProductions
      @LowellProductions  3 роки тому +1

      Hey dude, Im originally from florida so a few times a year I have a couple of gigs that I film down there. I do agree with your comment about the bokeh, I typically use the Lumix 25mm f1.7 or the Canon 50mm f1.8 + metabones .71x speedbooster to get the nice bokeh. I love the 12mm but as i mentioned in the video its wide but I would love something like a 7.5mm in this exact lens. But I love the overall look and feel of this lens with the gh5. Thanks for the comment dude cheers

    What's your gh5 setting?

    • @LowellProductions
      @LowellProductions  3 роки тому +2

      I typically film in the natural profile: Contrast: -5 | Sharpness: -2 | Noise Reduction: 0 | Saturation: -5 | Hue: 0 As far as frame rates I typically film my interview footage at: 4k 10-bit 150m 24p and the broll shots were typically filmed at 4k 10-bit 150m 30p that way I could slightly slow down the footage. I also enjoy filming broll at 4k 8-bit 150m 60p as the footage looks super clean. Thanks for the question Cheers

    Hello i film with the gh4 + meike cinema lens as well but for the indoor shots theres so much grain i use filmmaking settings like v log and cinelike d but the image comes out very grainy still even on slight shadows on someones face and i over expose do you know why this could be?

    • @LowellProductions
      @LowellProductions  3 роки тому +1

      I typically stay away from log or cine-d or cine-v on the GH4 & Gh5 as they seem to always have grain when I use those profiles. Instead I typically use Natural and Standard profile and just lower the saturation and hue in the profile settings and that typically gets me useable footage with less grain then the other profiles you mentioned.

    These lenses are so cheap you can always sell them if you move to FF cameras. You can literally get a set of 3 for about $1100 and 4 for $1500.
