Best lenses for the GH6 / GH5 / GH4

[@travisbradbury-hulls6812]

I subbed withing 2 seconds....... yes it was for the suit

[@yeh.9910]

The most useful video on gh4 lenses I have ever watched. And I've been watching for a year. Bless you.

[@Moellerud]

Would have been much more useful If you showed all the lenses in action.

[@jwoolson]

That suit!

[@anselmoreal]

you left out the best bank for the buck, the 25mm f1.7

[@thegadgetdude]

+Mirrorless Tips I did mention the 25mm, I just had the 20mm as I wanted a pancake and a bit wider, but yeah the 25mm is a great nifty fifty equivalent for sure!

[@MarioGarcia-vw1wj]

@@thegadgetdude what About the 25mm 1.4

[@JamieJobb]

I've been using the 7-14mm for several years now and it's a most useful wide angle for tight spots.

[@JohnStressedTechy]

When I got my GH2 (some years ago!) I got it with the Panasonic 14-140 zoom. A great lens but a little bit heavy. Shortly after getting this I also got a (second hand) 14mm F2.5 which has become my default general purpose lens. Am thinking about a GH5, but will be body only as these two lenses really do cover so much of my needs.

[@LifeFlight101]

Saw the suit and was expecting a ridiculous review, but this was excellent....thanks.

[@Kelkschiz]

Loved the styling in this video. Great suit, tie and glasses combination also nice background.

[@MikeErickson]

My 12-35 stays on my camera and I have a Laowa 7.5 f2 in the bag - I mostly use the 7.5 for macro shots, but it also works great for real estate shots.

[@MikeErickson]

Great video man!

[@ssingh6197]

Watching this, I feel like Agent 007 talking to Q about arming up for a mission.

[@srobart]

The jacket and tie are *EPIC*! ;)

[@ilovesarasotatim]

Woooh one of the few fellow Brits on here :D. Great video mate.

[@thegadgetdude]

thanks!

[@jacksonhue7815]

Your videos are so sharp! What lense are you using?

[@JR-wt9ky]

It's in the video Lindsay

[@MarcusHill-kz9qj]

do you have the website link for the fisheye you show at 4:23

[@fergarnacho]

Which lens would you recommend for filming basketball match from wide angle?

[@completejavaclasses1594]

How is 12-60mm 2.8-4?

[@dreamcometruek9622]

what would you suggest for a beginner photographer (just picked up a gh5) interested in taking both photos and videos of dogs ( im a dog trainer). Appreciate it in advance!

[@gonzoGarcia2006]

What do you recommend for a everyone day videographer lenses.

[@hellogandara]

Which video lens did you recommend for a interviews, sitting talking to the camera, never more than 2metres far. ? Thanks!!!

[@rrveld]

Nice video! I still got a question: I'm going to buy the GH4 for travel videos and vlogs, what lens do you recommend me to buy? There are a lot of choices I just want one all around camera lens :) It is especially for vlogging and travel videos.

[@thegadgetdude]

has to be the 12-35mm f2.8 Panasonic as the go to all round vlog lens.

[@rrveld]

ahh alright! Thank you so much! :)

[@rrveld]

The 12-35mm f2.8 Panasonic is pretty expensive, what other lens do you recommend me?

[@pllayerdois]

The 25mm 1.7 or all the other ones he tells in the video are good options for a lower price.

[@michalkubis7286]

It would be nice to see short video samples of each lens while you were speaking

[@thegadgetdude]

this was something i did think about after but didn't have the time, I'll include them in future lens videos.

[@virusj216]

If I can only get one lens, for vlogging/travel videos and some occasional instagram shots.Which lens should I get?

[@Dwaynebaileymusic]

Jerry Zou the 12-35mm if you are still looking

[@troyramirez2520]

I just purchased a GH4. I currently have a rokinon 14mm. I really dont like to quality after its done. I will be shooting music videos, and I was wondering what type of lens would be good with a great crystal picture! Like a boyce avenue look. Pleaser let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.

[@dr34mlucid]

Thanks that was very useful.

[@LilSc00be]

Would i need and adapter for my lenses to fit the GH4?

[@sergiupopescu94]

Great video dude !

[@baektix]

How is Rokinon Cine DS DS14M-MFT 14mm T3.1 ED AS IF UMC Full Frame Cine Wide Angle Lens on GH5 for night time astrophotos or video?

[@rosso.corssa]

Hello, I'm considering buying 25mm 1.7 or 20mm 1.7, which one do you think is better for filming with GH4?

[@thegadgetdude]

I only went for the 20mm 1.7 because it was a little wider and i wanted a pancake lens that would fit in my pocket when on my GM1. The 25mm is a great alternative because its got quicker focus and it's much cheaper new!

[@rosso.corssa]

Thank you! ☺️

[@MikeSantis]

I would like to buy a Panasonic GH5. But, can I use Canon, Sigma and Tamron lenses on a GH5 with an adaptor or something? And how would those lenses work together with the GH5?

[@herranton]

go google "metabones" that will give you a good start

[@DirectorToby]

This suit...outrageous. GH5 looked so sexy when I saw it at a convention...still concerned on that 3/4s though.

[@thegadgetdude]

+DirectorToby the suit went down well on stage at graduation I have to say. There's a lot of great factors of M4/3 is you don't need super duper nighttime low light. I still love the image from super35 sensors like the Sony's I use at work.

[@lookingthat3855]

3/4 is not a great bottleneck if you are skilled to film...guys like Yuri Palma (Gh4) and Brandon Li (A7SII) have delivered masterpieces with M4/3.

[@tntproductionstravelvideog5377]

Are any of these lens wide angle?

[@richardsingh4368]

which ones that you went over would be good for weddings shoots?

[@thegadgetdude]

definitely the 12-35mm 2.8, still good for relative low light, close focusing, and IS to stablise and versatile range. The 45mm 1.8 will give you some nice low light and blurry background though (but no IS except for in body).

[@AfroPlaylist]

I got a Gx7 would these be good for that?

[@chadj.w.anderson5473]

hey great lens review, the suit is the best thing ever lol

[@VikenOfficiel]

Do you need metabones speed booster for the olympus lenses ? I'm making music videos and short films and I want to buy a GH5 but i'm hesitating between the 12-35 and the 12-40 lenses

[@thegadgetdude]

Viken Hissem olympus are native micro four thirds just like the panasonic lenses

[@michaelkurmann4872]

Are the lenses also good for the pictures?

[@DaleFallows]

yes! they're all micro four thirds native lenses which means the all autofocus as they should and work great for pics too.

[@K.W321]

can anyone recommend me a good under 300$ canadian lense for gh4 for landscape photography

[@Seqhael]

Hello, for 3 years travelling with the GH4 + Metabones I have been using the Canon 17-55mm f2.8EF lens, why? I have no idea. Nobody else seems to be using it? So I am looking for an upgrade. Something with a similar focal length, ideally with OIS, super fast (less than 2.0) and unreal quality. Does such a lens exist? If I cut myself off from 35mm, I won't have anything between 35mm and 70mm to shoot with. Right now have Tokina 11-16mm, Canon 17-55mm, Canon 70-200mm so all bases are covered... just nobody is using the 17-55mm, only me?

[@tonytarr11]

Look up Voigtlander Nokton lens, they are AMAZING quality, and f.095. Best built lens I've ever dealt with.

[@BernardasMaksimavicius]

Big thanks :)

[@nohype-fi6468]

I guess you chose that suit to exhibit what moire is. Two birds with one stone You looked like a walking lens test chart :D

[@thegadgetdude]

+Greek Fidelity its practical and stylish! Ok maybe more practical than stylish...

[@nicholasluna2141]

Either purchase multiple shit lenses, or make an investment that will last you like a fixed lens.

[@nexttimelover2775]

From where you bought the suite, I would like to buy it :) not the lenses

[@thegadgetdude]

opposuits

[@vincentoliver]

Where did you get the suit from

[@thegadgetdude]

+Vincent Oliver opposuits

[@PolluxChung]

Where did you get that suit?

[@hm_vos]

i got mine here www.opposuits.com

[@mh-studios]

nice suit man !

[@Mat-kk9qf]

Whattabout SIGMA 18-35 f1.8 ? :)

[@thegadgetdude]

Supermat thats a great lens with a speed booster but this was all about native lenses really, adapting could take up another whole video!

[@jijodrumbeats]

Am not a the suit guy bt the the suit made me subscribe lol....

[@cluxseltoot]

Fuck me!- it's a humanoid Bassetts Liquorice Allsort.

[@thegadgetdude]

Excellent.

[@ОлексійШликов]

Very bad idea to buy Panasonic or any mft lenses for video. Better to use metabones speedbooster x0.64 and EF lenses like Sigma 18-35 f1.8 or Sigma 50-100 f1.8...

[@Nuanda1988]

why

[@gimiked8685]

it kinda fixes the low light problem the MFT camera's have with an extra stop of light with the speed booster. And the sigma lens he mentioned is super sharp doing 4k and downsizing to 1080p. It is a go to lens for video. I own the 12-35 panny lens as well though and it is a great lens. You will just have problems in low light in some cases and use higher iso's. Speed booster is magic.

[@Andy588tt]

speed booster x0.64 and the EF lenses like Sigma 18-35 f1.8 is nice but very heavy and long and you cannot wind it completely in as you get vignetting and if you use the inbuilt flash on the gh4 a shadow will be cast in front of the subject because the lens and speed booster are so long.

[@ferencbodor]

"Best Video Lenses" and the second lens which you're presenting is "not really intended for video use" ? :D duude

[@thegadgetdude]

haha its a great little lens for not a lot of money but i take your point on board!

[@emstv777]

im GH4 7.12 SIGMA 16MM F1.4

[@EzzenzDK]

Nice :)

[@WaffleMustache]

I'm just getting into to filming I was wondering if anyone new a good lens for cinematic filming and more of a movie type edit feel

[@gonzoGarcia2006]

How do you not have any grain in your video.

[@thegadgetdude]

This was shot in a well lit room with soft boxes, and I shot it on the standard picture profile on the GH4. With plenty of light i can keep the ISO pretty low, most of these shots were at 200iso/400iso.

[@gonzoGarcia2006]

What lense did you use?

[@SpacewayFilms]

He mentioned using 13-32 mm for the vid before changing to the 12-35mm when he needed to demonstrate the 13-32mm.

[@MyShowbizName]

I didn't understand any of that.

[@thegadgetdude]

Thanks for the feedback Dom!

[@MyShowbizName]

Looked good tho

[@jasonlindquistmedia]

[@studiocordesvocalles]

[@thegadgetdude]
