AFFORDABLE CINE ZOOMS // DZOFILM Ling Lung 10-24 & 20-70 T2.9 for MFT

[@RedFrameTech]

For those of you using subtitles; I tested out the new subtitles generator in Davinci Resolve 18.5 Does this make your watching experience even better? Let me know and I will keep adding subtitles to my videos going forward

Thanks for the review! Good work! I bought the Leica 10-25 and 25-50 for wedding videography and for that use, I would still choose the Leicas for the constant f1.7 aperture, weather sealing, no need for manually inputting the IBIS focal length, much lower weight, nearly zero chromatic aberrations and fantastic usability for when I want to take pictures with the blisteringly fast autofocus.

[@RedFrameTech]

Thanks! I totally get why you got the set of Leica lenses. Especially if you use autofocus a lot. I’ll probably get them as well some day, next to my DZOs

[@comwillan]

very helpful and actually specific review - for people as myself who do not use gimbals and else, I am good with ibis, so to dive into the focal length / ibis settings is a very good point to balance. thanks!

[@George.Bercaru]

Great review! I have to say that I love how your wife/ girlfriend (assuming here) try to keep a straight face when you are filming her. You have a great channel, keep doing a great work!

[@RedFrameTech]

Thanks! I’m always trying to sneak up on her (yes, girlfriend) to make those shots 😂 doesn’t always work and then she does try

[@WaywardBobby]

Really useful review :) thanks for including such detail on using ibis with the zoom lenses very insightful.

[@RedFrameTech]

Thanks! Yeah, I feel like it gets overlooked a lot with manual lenses

[@Bernies-Naturfilm]

I am always amazed at what is possible with professional equipment. Learned something again. Best regards, Bernd

[@RedFrameTech]

Hi Bernd. It is indeed amazing what’s possible these days. What a time to be alive 🙂

[@ive595]

Another great video, you recovered the audio very well. Interesting lenses, not sure I’m ready for cine lenses yet.

[@RedFrameTech]

Thanks! The audio was a challenge 😅 Yeah, I can imagine you’re not ready for cine lenses. Also took me a while to get to that point. But very happy with the results I’m getting. That doesn’t mean that I will be only using cine lenses though. My PL 12-60 is still one of my favourites

[@RidgewayInMedia]

Very insightful and thoughtful content 👍

[@travelbagphotography]

Informative video, well done. I'm curious if you had to adjust the back focus?

[@RedFrameTech]

Thanks! I did have to adjust it on the 20-70 once.

[@RawFiVideos]

Very informative video as always! I really appreciated the part on the ibis thank you! The problem is... that I found the zhyongi much better 😂 relly creamy.... the dzo looked too sharp and harsh, maybe was the exposure I don't know...

[@RedFrameTech]

😄 The Zhongyi does look creamy and soft. That’s partly due to the wide aperture though. I’ll be doing a full review on that one as well And the second angle with the dzo looks a bit harsher indeed. But it’s a very contrasty shot due to the overexposure 😅 and that can look like sharpness. Thanks for watching!

I started to work on audiovisual and photography area since a year or so. Studied digital animation, growing slowly and trying to get more equipment. I bought this lens for my GH4 which I use with tripod, not the best tripod for the weight of this lens, but it is supposed to be able to hold the weight of the body and the lens. Saw the 16:20 and I wonder which accesories with low cost can fit on my setup; I was thinking on buying a YELANGU D221 and mount it on tripod, or getting video head (since I have x-go chameleon e tripod). By other hand, I already have a basic shoulder rig (which is really really similar to YELANGU YLG0107D) that I was going to disarm so I can optimize it for holding the lens, and mount it on the tripod. Which advices can you give me based on this? Thanks in advance.

[@RedFrameTech]

Great to hear you're getting more into video and photo! I have some SmallRig lens supports that slide onto the two 15mm rods of my rig. They work pretty well and don't cost much. If you also get two rods and a base plate for the rods to go into, you've got yourself a basic tripod rig with lens support. Thanks so much for watching!

[@delcurto_fa]

​@@RedFrameTech I ended up using a shoulder rig into the tripod header (I manually removed a nut and worked). Looks funny, but it hold the lens. I expect that changing my header in future, for another one, that supports more weight and works specifically for fluid video, is my way to go. Thanks for the feedback, best regards from Chile! ~By the way, very accurate review of the lens. I already did my first work with it a few days ago and is just awesome.

[@RedFrameTech]

That’s great! If it works, it works 🙂

[@jshjesse]

Hey great vid!! Would like to ask for your opinion. I'm torn between Sigma 18-35 w/ metabones or DZO 20-70mm. I'm mainly shooting outside without controlled lighting and sometimes with lowlight situations. Having the DZO as t2.9 for MFT, how does it work in lowlighr situations? Like for instance I'd like to shoot in a Carnival at night. Would it make hard for me to have a decent shot?

[@RedFrameTech]

Thanks! I have shot with the DZOs at night time, outside, with only one little light and got decent results (GH6). But the Sigma+speedbooster will give you considerably more light. Also depends on the camera body. I’m assuming a GH6? I wouldn’t go for the DZO if you want to shoot low light with a GH5 or G9. Hope that helps!

[@CSAFilm]

Do you plan to reviewing the Mitakon 17mm cine lens? Looks very great!

[@RedFrameTech]

It’s in the works 🙂

[@GamsterMaRk]

You recommend it over the vespid primes?

[@RedFrameTech]

The Vespids are full frame and I haven’t used them

[@CSAFilm]

How about the gimbal. It will works? Do they shift center of gravity while zooming? Thanks!

[@RedFrameTech]

To honest, the gimbal I have can’t take the weight. So I don’t know. I’m planning on getting a gimbal with a higher payload

[@Drogado68]

Nice video Will Buy the 10-24 this week for the gh5 . Have you shot cinelike-d with leeming pro Lut with this lens?

[@RedFrameTech]

Thanks! I haven’t. I don’t really use LUTs, but have heard good things about the Leeming LUTs

[@Drogado68]

@@RedFrameTech really great quick turnover social media videos and just as a base for grading lumix footage i think its the best way to get the best colors of the gh5. Keep up the good work!

[@nightdonutstudio]

Laowa has one cine lens for mft 14-60 t2.9. But I only saw that lens being sold in China so far.

[@RedFrameTech]

Interesting. Haven’t seen that one. Maybe they’ll release it outside of China at some point

[@wietseveen3615]

Love the idea of those cine lenses. But currently using a 16-35 2.8 L from canon with my trusty 0,64speedbooster. And to be able to get a 20-45mm +- and 1.8 apature and canon colors and slight blooming. Havent found anything that can replace that. Tried the 10-25 but to sharp and a bit un-natural looking. Imo.

[@RedFrameTech]

Never tried that combo. Sounds good. I think the range would be a bit limited for me, but a 1.8 aperture is nice 👍 About the 10-25; good to know. I suspected that

[@wietseveen3615]

@@RedFrameTech there is also the 17-55 2.8. But i like zooms that don’t zoom in and out for a matte box setup.

[@RedFrameTech]

Internal zoom is the best 👍 I might look into the Canon lenses

[@DroseMr]

Intresting.Thank You

[@SammyC27]

got excited until i saw the bit about having to always change focal length setting on camera for IBIS to work

[@RedFrameTech]

That’s definitely a big downside

[@nightdonutstudio]

You remind me it is a full manual lens, ibis needs maunal input.

[@SammyC27]

zoom or primes... hmmm
