TARS Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The Panasonic Leica 8-18mm was officially announced this morning. Cheaper than I thought. http://www.43rumors.com/panasonic-8-18mm-lens-announced/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow I'll be uploading a comparison between the Olympus 25mm f/1.2 and Sigma DC DN 30mm f/1.4. It's probably going to be a grand slam though.

Yes!!...I should never have bought the 12-60...now I'll be compelled to get this as the companion for that lens...the price is actually excellent for a reasonably fast very wide zoom by Leica though!...I had expected it around the 1300 to 1500 range...oh well...you can't take it with you one day.... 3 hours ago, jonpais said: 7 hours ago, TARS said: The Panasonic Leica 8-18mm was officially announced this morning.

Even the older Panasonic 7-14mm f/4 looks incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes!...and at $250 more at f2.8 the Leica seems like incredible value...I forget whether you have the 12-60 Jonpais, but for a metal housing the 12-60 L is incredibly light...seems like the 8-18 would be a good vlogging lens for you or is it too wide?

I think it would be awesome. The shots Dan gets of Austin in the video above are beautiful. I'll be keeping an eye on the Leica, too. What's held me back from getting a super wide has been the lack of a filter thread, and the Leica's got one. I've got the Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8 v.1, but I've been trying to sell it. I prefer working with primes. But the Leica, maybe. Like Dan says, holding your arm outstretched all day shooting at 12mm is uncomfortable, the wider lens would certainly help. But it will also make my nose as long as a football field! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'm still shooting the comparison between the $1,200.00 USD Olympus 25mm f/1.2 'Pro' and the $300.00 USD Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DCDN. It's looking like if you're willing to step back a foot or so, you can save yourself $900 and get just as good if not better image quality with the Sigma. Anyhow, still not finished testing...

A rectilinear 7.5mm f/2. • https://www.facebook.com/pg/venuslaowa/posts/ • http://www.venuslens.net I see there's a 12mm f/2.8 as well. I wonder if the 7.5mm accepts a filter. There can never be too many fast wides for MFT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I love the 7-14mm f/2.8 Pro by Olympus for the same reason, because you get that pretty sick wide field of view without all the distortion. But... the Laowa is super compact and indeed has a filter thread (49mm), no 3D printing required, lol! jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidzrevil Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 @PannySVHS I leave those at default and expose for 105% zebras. The curve does weird stuff when you adjust those settings ! I rather the lens & filter take care of contrast and stuff optically ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
