MORE THAN MACRO! The Panasonic LUMIX 100mm f2.8 Macro Sets A New Standard!

[@moneyboys2010]

Shooting with it now… 🔥…. It will be staying somewhere near my Camera at all times 😂 LUMIX is on fire.

[@realityboost4405]

Just got mine, for my S5IIX and first impressions are incredible…When it was delivered and the driver handed me the box (which also had a Sigma EF to L mount adaptor in) I genuinely wondered whether the dealer had left something out of the box…It is INSANELY light!…Just found your channel BTW, Dunna…Liked and subscribed.

What a great size for a 100mm!

In the macro world I feel like the big competitor to this lightweight portable macro lens is is Olympus, who is currently dominating the macro niche. This sounds like a very strong challenger!

[@Bigcookfilms]

Two different sensor sizes and neither lens can't be used on the other camera....Not really competitor

[@mossgatherer_]

@@Bigcookfilms "in the macro world" is the key here. People who shoot macro primarily are looking at whole systems, including available lens options, within the macro capability, not that someone is going to put an Olympus lens on a Lumix camera. People who are macro specialists are often shooting in field conditions where total weight is incredibly important, and as Lumix has built in focus stacking, Lumix + this lens is an option people should look into.

Maybe not a direct competitor but definitely still worthy of being part of the conversation! Same could be said of the ones I mentioned in the video. 2 of them aren't available for the L mount but they're still worth mentioning.

[@dunnadidit]

@mossgatherer1797 that’s a great way to explain it!! I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned other mount lenses in a review video before this one but it made sense here because it’s such a specific thing!

[@mossgatherer_]

@@dunnadidit thanks! As a macro photographer this was a great video and a very interesting product range to have on my radar!

[@cinematools9621]

I like how small it is. I need this for E Mount.

[@seanbrucemedia5695]

Very cool lens design. If I didn't have the Sigma 105 DGDN macro already I might be interested, especially considering the size which is very appealing. However, I'll stick with the Sigma. As you pointed out it occasionally gets a little clumsy in focusing, but when it hits, it HITS, splendidly!

[@Rob_Kandels]

I love your videos, Very helpful! I am wondering if you can make a video or maybe even direct me to another video on how to export HDR footage from Davinci Resolve with either Dobly vision or HDR10+ that is supported for youtube. Personally I am grading on the newest Macbook pro.

[@dunnadidit]

HDR is still something I need to get more into! I haven't done my due diligence with it yet!

[@rendermanpro]

3:32 wow, so sharp, what lens/camera did you use as primary camera for this video?

[@kentmemories]

It's one of a kind. I will get one.

[@dunnadidit]

Nice!

[@SojibKhan-zn9js]

Which camera and lenses did you have used to shoot your a roll in this video?

[@dwanelkemprai4983]

How is it compared to sigma 105mm f2.8

[@aleksivahapassi]

Prolly gotta sell my laowa macro and get this instead :D much more versatile

[@DJMoonDawg]

So I got one and idk man…it has been struggling to focus badly and breathing a lot. Idk if it’s defective maybe…mine has something on the inside that you can clearly hear moving around if you turn upside down and back. Is this normal?

[@chennyye28]

I don't have this lens, but hope this can help: have you change the focus limiter? macro lens typically struggle as you use the full range, have no idea about the sound, maybe you can write to Panasonic? hope all good.

[@bamsemh1]

Ah, aps-c lens. Then the oly 60mm f2.8 is a better macro choice.

[@anamorphicalan]

would consider but I own vintage meyeropic forester 100

[@dunnadidit]

Cool!

[@tomazzaman]

Now we pray to Sony gods to release something similar? :)

[@dunnadidit]

Haha yup! Seems like “smaller and lighter” is the name of the game for everyone right now.

[@nortographer]

Am I the only one who thinks, that Dunna just... looks really tired in this video?
