Thank you for the review. Will get this lens when I get s5mark 2. At the moment I am running and gunning manual lenses on s5 😅

Do you not find that if you leave it open beyond 35mm it will open by itself to 100mm when facing down?

[주훈김-kh]

You are more beautiful than your model!

[TopshelfJunior]

Russ ! Thanks for taking the time making this video.. Lens looks good, just ordered ! I will throw it on the S5ii and report back !

[quinlanpayne]

Did you get any errors saying the camera didn’t detect a lens?

[raksh]

Excellent review and beautiful footage. The only issue I can see is the weight, which might require a more sturdy tripod or slider, but apart from that, it's a super lens.

[AjaySingh-]

Great review bro! This lens looks amazing and the footage is super crisp. Especially considering the price, it seems like a great value for L-Mount shooters.

[KyleTyndall]

I have this for the Sony E mount and love it. Can't wait to get this for my Lumix cameras. Might be getting two of them. Love the footage.

Hello, there's a big problem with the lens. Wait for the new firmware before purchasing. The current model causes a major blackout when the lens is stopped down on all models. I have the S5, S52x, S52, and S1R, and they all have the same problem. Action shots with continuous shooting are impossible because your viewfinder remains black and the autofocus can't keep up.

[AndLoveFilms]

Awesome - thx again Russell.. Having just bought my first Lumix S5IIX, I was about to but the S Pro 24-70, but saw this just in time.. One question.. When transitioning from near to far focus points is it as smooth as the 24-70 which is perfect (just loaned one last weekend!) - IGNORE ME - You mention it at 1min 30 - 40. FABULOUS NEWS, , buying one now - ps Seems to be £200 cheaper on Cotswold Cameras (or am I missing something!?)

I`ve picket mine up yesterday and it constantly pops up error "lens contacts failed" or something of a sort. I don`t know what it might be...

[mediamannaman]

Great review! Looks like a super lens.

[Chromatomic]

The lens stiffness comment is interesting because a lot of people thought it was too loose on the Sony version (compared to the similar Tamron lens) so it may have been something they intentionally adjusted.

[filmsfromlewis]

Great review Russell, think I might have to rent it before buying though to make sure it's not too heavy for me 🤣

[samuelboatengyt]

Going to pick up mine tomorrow, amazing and thanks for the review 🙌🏾

[jakfilms]

I couldn’t get the LUMIX S pro 24-70 to balance on my gimbal. That’s the only thing I’d be worried about with this

[DRYLREVOLUTION]

I was interested in knowing the performance of the l mount version specifically, as I just purchased it yesterday. Your video gives me the reassurance it was a good purchase, and I’m excited to put it to work!

[kyleb]

Loving this lens! However, I occasionally get a "lens attachment failed" error when shooting photos. I will take a picture and it will flash to a black screen for a moment before giving the error. I've managed to circumvent it by adjusting the zoom ring when the black screen comes up. Sort of a bandaid solution--any ideas for a more reliable fix?

[sphong]

Loaned it for my Sony, was great but it was a bit shifty, so I'm keeping the Tamron. Looks like Samyang fixed it for the Lumix version.

[unzin-rbpm]

gimbals suck anyway (meaning: I don't like 'm)
