Lydith 30mm F3.5 II –FUN wide angle you’ve probably never heard of
Matti Sulanto tested the Lydith 30mm F3.5 II L-mount lens.
A low light test of the Panasonic Lumix S5 at 12800 ISO with vintage OM glass in a tropical garden
Our reader P13 sent me this video and text:
I’ve done a relatively high ISO test of the Lumix S5 in its standard profile to see how clean it is for low light shooting. The test was conducted using 55mm and 24mm OM vintage lenses which were rebuilt by OM Labor and used via a Haoge adapter. The shots range from f4 to f1.2.
Thanks!
Latest Slashcam test shows the S1H stabilziation is superior to the Canon EOS-R5 and Sony A7sIII
I see the Panasonic perfoming best. And you?
ThePhoBlographers take on the new Panasonic LUMIX S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 lens
ThePhoBlographer posted the full lens review and concluded:
You can probably tell by now that I don’t know how I feel about the Panasonic LUMIX S 20-60mm f3.5-5.6. It joins a bunch of others as being mild-mannered options. Of course, you have to expect this of a kit lens. But for the new photographer who grabs a Panasonic S5, they’ll be semi-satisfied. I strongly recommend getting this lens with a few others. Sigma has some affordable L mount lenses. Specifically, their primes are wonderful. Leica goes off into the higher end of things. Panasonic is a middle ground in some ways. But in other ways, they’re also incredibly high end. Either way, it’s unfair to compare the Panasonic LUMIX S 20-60mm f3.5-5.6 to those other lenses. At the same time, you can’t get over it when you know what’s possible. This lens is also right around $600 by itself. Honestly, I’m not sure I’d buy it, but that’s just me.
You can get the lens for $597 at BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera.
