Lumix S5 first try – shooting anamorphic Aivascope + Helios 44-2

Panasonic S5 preorders at BHphoto, Adorama. FocusCamera.

Bernard Bertrand:

The Lumix S5 is really impressive, you’ll find a lot of similarities with the bigger brother the Lumix S1H, and its size is smaller than the GH5. It is also a real still image camera for a professional photographer.
The full-frame sensor, the dual image stabilization, the video capabilities make it a fantastic camera for sure for video shooters.
Here I did my very first test with the Lumix S5 and I choose to test it with the 1.5 Avaiscope anamorphic lenses. ( that I really love )
