  • *I messed up the aperture full frame conversion- in the video I say f2.4 but the equivalent would be f3.4. Thanks for pointing it out!
    I've been using the Leica 10-25mm and the 25-50mm f1.7 lenses with the LUMIX GH7 and I'm wondering if this might be the best lens combo for the GH7? Both lenses got a firmware update and are they even better on the GH7 than they were on the GH6?

    ...if you are looking for a little LESS depth of field.
    Everyone says it the other way around: full frame allows for shallower depth of field, less depth of field, not more. More depth of field is what you get with mobile phones, where almost everything is in focus.

    Lumix really needs to put out some new primes. I don't get how they only have one f1.2 lens (the Leica noct 42.5 f1.2) while Olympus has 3 with their pro 1.2 series (17, 25, 45). They can keep making their GH series better and better, but we need new true premium primes. I'd love to see them break the f1.2 barrier and put out an f1.0 or f0.95!

    • @overnightdelivery
      @overnightdelivery 12 днів тому +1

      M43 is due for an autofocus 20mm(40mm FF) f/.95 lens. It would perfectly compliment the 42.5mm f/1.2 Nocticron for shallow DOF on MFT. It would be large, expensive and somewhat soft wide open but it'd be worth it.
      But people don't understand the costs involved in making a large aperture m43 lens that's still acceptably sharp. Just because it's not FF, doesn't mean it should be cheaper to make.

I also like the size, sadly for a lot of clients they see big, impressive, looking equipment and think "professional" ... sad but true! The size is fine for me, if I wanted a travel lens then you've got the 35-100mm and all sorts. These guys are beautiful and I'm happy to see some firmware updates!

      I agree. If you have actually used these lenses professionally, you know they are not overpriced. For my classical video shoots I need zoom lenses for some cams (for precise framing, I cannot put the cams anywhere I like), that are sharp corner to corner at any f stop. Comparable FF lenses are at least the same price, and then your depth of field is much worse at the same f stop, so higher iso, and more noise than m43.

    I think those lenses are the best for serious video work and especially with the improved stabilization on the GH7 you don't need the additional lens stabilization.
    For me it's different. I need a light travel setup and go with the Leica 12-60 and some primes for low light. (7.5mm, 9mm, 12mm).
    For me, the 25-50 covers a range, I don't need often enough. I thought about using the 10-25 together with the 35-100/2.8 and the 7.5mm tho. This would be a definitely better setup but also a bit larger and also expensive.

    For the price of these lens would like to think they will work well with the GH7. Almost cost as much as the camera itself. Personally think content creators have become too obsess with having a fast lens. 1.7 or lower is great for getting that blurry background but is it really needed? For selfies and close up sure its nice to have the blurry background but for anything else 2.8 and higher is more then enough. Shooting weddings i stick to 2.8 most guys i work with who do client work use 2.8 or higher. Most top photographers using big zoom lens start from 3.5 and upwards. The stander films f stop is 2.8. has it has the best depth of filed.

      But when recording in 4K, you can either use the full sensor or a part of the sensor itself. If you always use the full sensor, sure, it maxes out at a 50mm full-frame equivalent.
      However 4K only requires about 9MP, so you can only record with part of the 24MP+ sensor which is about a 1.5x crop (on top of the 2x because of the physical sensor size).
      2x is the physical crop, while 1.5x is the crop on the sensor itself (digital) if recording in 4K (about a 1:1 pixel/sensor ratio). Of course it won't work with full open gate, but mastering in 4K, it's a good way to get some extra reach.
