![]() ![]() I'm going to post a video shortly with a comparison between the 12mm 1.4, 42.5 1.2 and the Sigma 18-35. This isn't the dig on the Sigma, I just find the ergonomics on the native lenses really take the experience to the next level + especially with run-and-gun. I've just really come to love the native lenses and how well they work with the GH5. Overall though, the images from the lens are gorgeous. I understand it's not really a run and gun lens But maybe I'm just not used to manual focusing systems. The 's very stiff and not very smooth in my opinion. The ring is so smooth on the Pana lenses. Unfortunately, I ran into a couple issues: 1. I updated the speedboosters firmware and tried it on my GH5 and it was compatible. I previously owned a GH4/Speedbooster Ultra 0.71x/Sigma 18-35mm, and kept the speedbooster and lens for the upgrade. Although, having fixed depth markers on the lens is great. Today I got my hands on the GH5 and was eager to test it out. Bang on with the native lenses, but with the GH5 and Sigma the focus range indicator doesn't act in a linear fashion. For run and gun, the ring is preferred in my camp. It's awkward and personally the feedback is hard to give up. Get the Canon EF version of the sigma 18-35 (should be the most common) and then the EF to MFT speed booster of your choice (metabones or viltrox). Provided you don't tilt the joystick too much, where the viewfinder eyecup might bump into the gimbal, I think you should be able to balance the heavy lens with the camera mounted on the new sliding plate. payload rating of 1.8 kg the GH5 with Sigma 18-35 and Metabones Speedbooster weigh in at 1.71 kg. The little knob/switch thing on the Sigma is by no means ergonomical. The new version Zhiyun Crane V.2 has a max. I love manual, fly by wire aperture rings. And, due to the stiffness of the focus ring, quick pulls can result in the poor tolerances in the fit showing their ugly head. Build quality is good, however, there is a decent amount of play between the adaptor and the camera. while also in a smallrig cage with a quick release plat. I shoot a lot of run-gun and honestly, I instantly missed my native 12mm 1.4. Got my hands on a DJI Ronin-S, so heres a little test of it with the Viltrox EF-M2 and Sigma 18-35. its massive - it's heavy - it's unyielding. You can always rental lens or lens set for a specific job if you need to, as well.So, after listening to all the raving and ranting, I got the Sigma 18-35 combo. That meet my needs doing mostly documentary interviews and B-roll plus some stills. You can invest in a matte box instead, just keep in mind 4x5.65 filters for a matte box are pricey.įor reference I started with a fast zoom and ND filters, plus the Panasonic 25mm lens (around $125-150). Invest in a set of ND filters to fit your largest lens and use step up rings to adapt them to any other lenses. Frank5 I don’t have experience with these Panasonic ‘pancakes’, but from my experience with the Sigma, pretty sure the 18-35 will slaughter any of them. Really it depends on what you're using the lenses for and what look you're going after. Replacing the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 on Panasonic GH5 Replacing the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 on Panasonic GH5. ![]() It you go native there's lots of relatively affordable decent cinema primes for the m43 mount. You'll probably want to invest in manual primes eventually, interesting in the speedbooster will open up options there, you can use a range of vintage glass more effectively. Sigma is a little faster and much heavier but costs more if you factor in a Metabones. ![]() I'd probably go with the Sigma or the Panasonic 12-35 for a mixed use camera (stills and video). ![]()
