Too small... and unusable, just like all other new stuff nowdays. Yei. :D (Hopefully will love it some day, but I doubt it.) Thanks for the videos, love them. :)

    I totally agree about renting. Maybe rent if you’re thinking of buying a real high-end camera that cost thousands of dollars, that might be a good idea, but overall it’s better to find a deal and take a chance. I found a GH5 for $475 at a store, with a full warranty, and so I figured, why not? I needed a second camera, my main camera is an S5, I had never used micro 4/3 before, but I knew the GH5 was legendary, so I thought let me find out how legendary it is. It’s a great camera. I don’t have many lenses for it, and I only use it when I absolutely need a second camera, but for $475, The quality I get out of it is amazing. No way I would have ever rented a GH5 to see if I should buy one. :-) And yeah… I don’t use autofocus. Sue me. 😉🎥

  • @nikoforu
    @nikoforu Місяць тому +2

    I have the Nikkor Z 26mm f2.8. It's a fun still photography lens. But it's pricey and the 28mm f2.8 is much cheaper (and more silent/faster with AF).
    The 26mm is fine for video though I have never tried vlogging with it.
    I also have the 40mm F2. It's fine lens too, cheap, but it's plasticky (lens mount). I don't have the 50mm f1.4 to compare it to, but I do have the legendary 50mm f1.8s and the 50mm is much sharper, especially wide open. But the 40mm is still "good enough" for stills. I've never used it for video though.

  • @MB-dq2gz
    @MB-dq2gz Місяць тому +1

    It all comes down to the look youre looking for. You can reduce the aperture on the 50mm which makes it a better lens, because you have more options. Even still that 40mm is so light and small that justifies having them both.

    I'm pretty sure you watch Roman Fox's stuff. Did you see that he announced he left Fuji for Sony for his pro work? Although, he's keep the X100VI. That was a long marriage that broke up! This new set is like Valentines Day meets Groundhog Day.. LOL! That 10 bit question guy should get the XS-20 and the 16mm T1.4. I like the 40mm look. Thanks for the fun this morning. Have a rockin' day!

  • @TheKotenbergs
    @TheKotenbergs Місяць тому +1

    The 40mm looks so good outside. Worth keeping just for that. You could probably skip the z 50mm altogether and just adapt the Zeiss 55mm for studio shots.
    I can’t get it to autofocus and fringer said they done have a fix for it, but if you’re willing to manually focus I have a Canon EF 200mm mark 1 I’d be willing to donate to the cause. Not sure what you would use it for.

    Thank you for review of Z50mm f1.4.
    Got the Z40mm and Z5 for photography and was wondering what may be missing as have some old OM lenses notably here a 55mm f1.2. Thinking will save my $.
    Question:
    Have an old em5ii and only M43 wide is a Panasonic 12-32.
    Setup isn’t exactly light weight and 9mm would be a little heavier still.
    Would be better for vlog to get LeicaPan 9mm f1.7 or forget the em5ii and just go with a DJI Pocket3?
    Haven’t seen your comments on the 9mm except the video before it was released regarding its expected flaws about 2 years ago.
    Understand that uncorrected it has a lot of barrel distortion.
    Does that help or hurt stabilized warpy corners?
    Can lens corrections be turned off in video so that it would act better in the corners by being more like the fisheye which you praised in the same video but hopefully without crazy horizons or am misunderstanding.
    Love your content especially your boardroom dramatics.
    FYI
    Thinking if Gerald were to review your current apartment/studio he’d say go higher on the kelvin/blue but in the background…no?

    • @cameraconspiracies
