Thanks for watching, hopefully you guys got something out of this! I am looking forward to making more vids this year so let me know what you would like to see next✌
I love this video man. I'm inspired 🫡🤌🏾
Not me bringing this camera back from storage😅
Thanks so much for this.
This is fantastic. A lot of us have the G85, but we don’t have the money yet to upgrade, and this video makes us feel good about the g85s we have, and gives us ideas of how to make them better. Thanks very much!
Ya no problem! I also think with the gear you do invest for the g85 can be carried over to the next camera, like your handles, filters (i would get larger ones if you plan to switch to full frames, like 82mm), and strap, so you can continue using those after the g85!
@@TheCommodoreProductions May I ask one more question? I want to go full frame one day, but I don’t know if I should go with Sony or Canon? What would you do? What has more choices of lenses? I hope I’m not bothering you. Thanks very much!
@TG-ov8gl Not at all! That will depend on your purpose to be honest, and what you really prefer in your camera. Canon would have more afforadable and have more variety of lenses to choose from, but again, it might come down to a very niche thing that you will like for your videography and photography. For me, it would be stabilization and colors, and I think Panasonic's cameras are suited for me and I will most likely get those. Maybe for your work you prefer autofocus, so Sony and Canon could be the way to go, or you film long term, so maybe avoid Canon cause they shut off after 30minutes of continuous filming on higher resolutions and also the overheating problem they had (this is from what I recall before, it might not be the case anymore but I just thought to throw in an example to help you understand). I would definitely research the camera specifics if they fit your criteria, for ex: I would like my camera to have 4K and 24fps, IBIS, cheap native lenses, etc etc.
Hopefully this helps!
My favorite g85 video, and I'm getting nearly everything you recommended. Thank you for this!
Great video, I'm still amazed by my G85's videos after 5 years of ownership.
Great video, love the footage and breaking down your setup. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Subscribed dude. It's awesome when you can take something to its absolute limits. Your Chicago video was awesome! Just getting into cameras and this will be my starting point. Looking forward to your color grading tutorials.
Thank you so much for this video.. after all the research I bought a used G85 with a 14-42 lens 2months back... and this video is very helpful
Thank you! happy to hear that it helped you 🙏🏼
Just got a used G85 the other day and this video helped me a lot especially since I am new to all of this.
You won't regret it! It has so much to offer! 💪🏼🚀
I still have a G85 and I have the 25mm lens too which is a fave of mine. I want to do more video with it and this video was very helpful.
I started with the G80 / G85. After upgrading and upgrading and upgrading, I have the GH6 now. It feels like a brick. If I am honest, the G85 with the 12-60 kit lens and 25mm did everything I possibly needed. It is all between the ears. I was shooting at 60fps in 1080 and most of the time in iA mode / natural profile. Only when I had time I went for full manual control. You made a great video here! Not everybody needs 16 bit RAW internal recording at 320 fps.
Thank you, your channel is a godsend for me. I suffer from the pursuit of expensive equipment. You stopped me and clearly showed that our G80 is capable of a lot
Thank youu, that means a lot!! It's about how you create with the tools you have at hand - this G85 of ours is an incredible one that many don't really realize 🙌🏼
Thank you! I've been doing some of these but these are some more good tips to follow. Will try to max out the use of this camera before upgrading!
🔥it's such a great camera as it has a lot to offer!
Dope vid, thanks for the tips hamie
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great tips! I've had the G85 since it was new, and it's still a go-to B cam and even A cam for run-and-gun situations. Only other recommendation I'd give is invest in a Viltrox or Metabones speedbooster. This will help in low light, maximize your field-of-view, and open the door to a lot of great Canon glass. And since the autofocus is trash anyway, you really aren't sacrificing anything.
i waiting for this video!
there is my new video with lumix gx85 if you want check it out
czcams.com/video/9pIUCJf7Pik/video.html
Thanks mate!!🙏✌️
Good tips! I set mine to standard (0, -5, -5, 0), because I want to lose as little information as possible . It's easier to decrease saturation and contrast than to increase it in post. I also set my curves to -1 (shadows) and +1 (highlight). This gives you more information in the mid tones, where your skin tones lie, resulting in more suble skin tones. The mist filter raises the shadows a bit and lowers the highlights, which compensates the increased contrast from the curve adjustment.
Thanks! And that's some great insight to how you set yours up, definitely will be giving that a try 🙌🏼
Brilliant video I would love more explained videos
Thank you! That's the plan, gonna try to integrate more of these types of vids to my channel
Great review. I've been using a G85 since 2017 for B roll and been using it for real estate photography since late 2020 and it's a fantastic camera. Yes it is 'entry level' but it punches well above its weight (and the G95 even more so).
were you making profit out of it, i'm willing to get one mainly for work.
@@nadjibben7336 yeah, it's paid for itself a hundred times over and now they're even cheaper.
great video bro
Thanks!

and more tips for g85/g7
Will do!
I really enjoyed the video! I use my g85 camera for my vlog and I still really like it, even though the autofocus could be better.
Thanks! Ya auto focus isn't the best, but for the additional other things it offers, it is a great camera
People who complain about the autofocus on this camera have never used an older Nikon DSLR. AF on this is leaps and bounds ahead and I have actually found that so far it's done an excellent job.
You're quite right. AF on the G85 actually works. In filmmaking, shots are painstakingly taken, not with the camera carelessly swung from one subject to another like most of these reviewers do.
Correct. G85 has a great autofocus and it works perfectly.
Always inspiring..
Thanks!!
excellent information thank you. One question, which model of small rig from another lumix is good for the g85 since the one in the link is out of stock?
I’ve been waiting for this ✅✅ just got mine 4 days ago
Also thanks 😂💯

Hi. Great tutorial and fantastic introduction.
What about your H&S setting?.
Thanks a lot :)
tHANK YOU :)
I run 2 G85s for livestreaming/recording, and I had to import them into the UK from the US as the UK version of the camera "The G80" has both a record limit as well as no video output during recording (same as the G7). I didn't find any of this out until I had purchased 3 cameras and had to the resell them as none of them could do what the G85 does.
Hello! The Photo Style is not highlighted for me to change - how can I enable that?
Brother!! I know it's been some time since you uploaded this video, but I just got this camera for $290 on ebay because of your videos on the G85 (so anyone looking into getting this camera in 2023, just know to get it now would be a STEAL)! I have the BMPCC4k as the main cam, and since the G85 is a micro four thirds camera, all my lenses and mft workflow will essentially stay the same. I love the results you get from such an old camera and you have truly inspired me and got me excited for this camera with your content. I humbly thank you for putting out awesome videos. Hoping to make the footage I get look as good as yours!
Wow that is incredible! Funny enough I was on a project with the BMPCC6K Pro - I did enjoy it but found it soo bulky and really came to appreciate the G85 even more so. I have some new ideas for the G85 now and want to try and implement it in the new videos to come for the channel. But that's great to hear your feedback, it's such a powerful camera!
@@TheCommodoreProductions yeah Ive actually been using the G85 more than my BMPCC recently it's just so easy to set up and to get good results especially for the stuff that I'm doing currently. The BMPCC cameras tho have a much better menu system and BRAW, but definitely have to set it up more to be practical. I am looking forward to your new videos on the G85! Maybe more color grading videos too definitely something I need help on. Thanks for the reply brother,
Excel Luna
Does anyone know what size I need for a ND and a Mist Filter if I buy the 25mm lens in the video?, and if I can use it in the kit lens of the camera?, thanks):
Do you have any suggestion for cinematic / progressional looking G80 for lens documentary making?
is it good if i'm using SIGMA 30mm f/1.4 DC DN ?
Definitely got some out of this
🙌🏼🙏🏼
Thanks alot bro...
🙌🏼
I see you have a curve settings too? What settings are you using and why? Didnt find it in the video.
Is there different types of 25mm 1.7 lenses? The one in the link below says 174 but I found one on amazon as well for 147$
GOAT of cinematography!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
The two new Panasonic S5 Camera's have great autofocus these days.
Hey bud, been looking around the comments section of your videos trying to find some info on this matter before I ask: Can you let me know how's the RS3 Mini functionality with the G85? You probably already know that DJI doesn't officially support it, and I couldn't find some trusty opinions on how/if it works well with the G85. Thanks in advance, your vids ROCK!
Thanks a lot for this, finally got a shotgun mic, all I need is a led light set. The other stuff I'll add to my Amazon list 😃 🎬 🎞 🎥
👌🏼🙌🏼
@@TheCommodoreProductions Do you ever use the battery grip? Is there a cage that can accommodate that?
Love this video, helped a lot.
🙏🏼🙌🏼
Hi Tim, what luts did you use to color grade the natural profile to rec709?
Yo shit extra clean!
🧹🧹🙌🏼
Great video!
I think I'm going to pick up the 25mm lens you mentioned in the video and have listed in the description. Will the K&F Concept 67mm ND filter be compatible with that, or do I need any adapters?
Thanks! Ya so the 25mm I believe has a 46mm filter size, so you'll need to get a step up ring from 46mm.
Ex: 46mm to 67mm or 46mm to 82mm
It also depends on your lenses that you have currently and for future lenses with the size you get for the ND filter. 67mm I think is great because it's bigger for the panasonic micro 4/3 lenses available, but if you plan on upgrading in the future to full frame camera, those lenses would be much bigger, and I would look into getting a 82mm nd filter size, as you can use it later if you do change or upgrade your camera. But since the g85 is entry level, I think if you do upgrade your camera at that point, the ND filter you can also upgrade. But it really depends on how you personally want to go about it, so hopefully that helps you!
What would u recommend with this camera when shooting Car reviews for CZcams
Great video! I just picked up a G85 myself and i'm excited to get to work with it! Do you have any setting recommendations for 4k slo-mo footage?
Either do 4k 30fps or 1080 60fps then upscale that to 4k in post. It still looks decent too - if your purpose is for CZcams or social media posting, it'll work just fine this way 👍🏼
Hello, between the panaleica 25mm 1.7 and the manual Viltrox S 23mm T1.5 Cinema Lens for Panasonic Olympus Micro M4/3 M in terms of brightness which one is the best? Thank you
Hmm not sure, normally with lower aperture you can have more "brightness", but since you are comparing a non native lens to a native lens, it would maybe be different. Sorry wasn't able to really help you out much on it, but do follow up if you find up about this as I'm also curious
Thank you so much for this helpful information. Do you stack nd filters? Or switch them out? I am sorry if this is a silly question.
Glad it helped! So I have a variable ND so I just stack it with the mist filters
I think you can stack ND filters depending on your situation. I would only do it if it is necessary
Thank you! I been using my g85 almost a year now and I am so happy with it then I also follow your channel picking up good information to maximize my G85 is really useful.. One question are you using gimbal? what brand of gimbal are you using thank you! Looking forward for more tips specially for compositing creative shots!
Thanks, and glad you were able to find it helpful! I don't use any gimbal for the g85, mostly handheld and occasionally I would use a tripod.
Hello bro question did you try to use ninja V on G85? I does gonna work recording 4k 120p externally?? I am about to think of buying Ninja V now to work with G85
additional question what do you think of 20mm 1.7 pancake lens? did you try to use one? I thinking to switch my 20mm to 25mm 1.7 but I need a strong reason why should I switch please help thanks!
Thank you so much for these awesome tips! Do you think some of these settings will be ok to shoot for a wedding?
Ya for sure! and yes I would say these settings would be good to shoot for a wedding. You could also do 4K 30fps if you want a bit of slowmotion, or even use 1080p 60fps for more slowmotion. But it's up to you how you want to do your weddings. I would just do 4K 30fps (dynamic moving broll shots) and 4K 24fps (for tripod speaking moments + still broll shots). Typically this would be good in outdoor settings, given the lighting. When it gets darker, or indoor area, be sure to have enough lighting to work with
@@TheCommodoreProductions awesome thank you so much for this😊
Amazing video! Really inspiring... You mentioned the 67mm K & F concept ND filter, is there a reason you listed 67mm? Did you step-down the filter for a specific reason, or did you mean to say 58mm? You also linked 4 step up options, what exactly does your usual setup look like? With step ups? Thanks man! Following your stuff now.
Thanks!
So my setup is essentially this for filters on my lenses:
1. Step up ring
2. Mist filter
3. Step up ring or Step down ring
4. ND filter
Essentially I suggested the K & F 67mm as it's large enough to avoid vignettes when attaching on either the kit lens and 25mm for the G85. It's also a budget but solid ND filter to start off. You could get the 82mm for the K&F ND filter so you could use that on a full Frame lenses if you plan to upgrade to a full frame camera in the future, but I think at that point I would upgrade the ND filter. The mist filter I would probably get at 82mm as i think the output quality is similar as the higher ends, hence the option to do a step down ring if you get the 67mm K&F ND filter for the G85. Oh also, just make sure the mist filter has threads in the front so you could put a step up ring or step down ring there if you plan to put the ND filter in front. Or if the ND filter is same size as the mist filter, then you can skip the rings and put the ND filter directly on top of mist filter
Hopefully that made sense! And feel free to ask any questions, happy to help wherever I can 👍🏼
@@TheCommodoreProductions yes that was helpful! I just bought the 25mm lense, 67mm K&F, and 67MM 10% (1/2) Cinebloom filter. Hopefully it has front threads... I couldn't figure out how to see if the cinebloom had front threads.
Yo brotha super rookie here lol. How do you access the exposure meter
Hey there again! Quick question 😅
I saw that you got the 67mm ND filter, did you still need some step up rings for the 25mm f1.7 lens?
I think I've answered this before so I'll copy and past it here!
Ya so the 25mm I believe has a 46mm filter size, so you'll need to get a step up ring from 46mm.
Ex: 46mm to 67mm or 46mm to 82mm
It also depends on your lenses that you have currently and for future lenses with the size you get for the ND filter. 67mm I think is great because it's bigger for the panasonic micro 4/3 lenses available, but if you plan on upgrading in the future to full frame camera, those lenses would be much bigger, and I would look into getting a 82mm nd filter size, as you can use it later if you do change or upgrade your camera. But since the g85 is entry level, I think if you do upgrade your camera at that point, the ND filter you can also upgrade. But it really depends on how you personally want to go about it, so hopefully that helps you!

Hello Brother, amazing video. Help me to understand that right now I have g 85 kit lens 14-42 and then I bought 25mm f1.7. 25mm is amazing lens but I suffer issues at having wide angle.
Help me with wide angle lens, which one will be better for g85 ???
Thanks! 12mm would be your widest angle for the Panasonic lens line up I believe. The kit lens goes 12mm, and I think that's sufficient enough, but then again, it really depends on your projects you plan to film
great stuff, would pay for a course if you ever did one.
Thank you for the support! I'll be making one maybe in the future, but for now will be making some more youtube content 🤘🏼
I got the G7 but still working 🎉
Noob question: can you use you variable ND filter with the mist filter?
Haha not a noob question at all! So you can stack on filters on top of one another. The K&F doesn't have a thread on the top of it i believe, and I'm not sure with the tiffen for the mist filter. I have the NiSi mist filter and that had a thread on top of it, so I can stack it with a step-up or step-down ring + ND filter or directly with an ND filter if the size is the same. I would contact the sellers of the filters to see if they have the thread on top for you to do so, or check their description of the product
👍
Awesome footage with the G85! Was all the footage shot with the 25mm 1.7? I also have this lens, but not sure if I've ever gotten anything as clean as what you had there. I also wonder, why not use Cinelike D with the sharpness, noise reduction and saturation turned down? Other videos I've watched have recommended that setting as best for colour grading with LUTs etc. Would love to hear your take on it, because your footage is amazing.
Thank you ! It was shot with the 25mm 1.7 and kit lens!
So cinelike D I found that it was hard to add in skin color tones at times, sometimes had weird artifacts when grading as well, so I went with natural profile setting as it produces the best for my grading process. I'm in the works with a color grading walk-through video so hopefully that should give some more insight when i finish that😁👍🏼
@@TheCommodoreProductions Awesome to hear! I've subscribed to make sure I don't miss it!
спасибо!!!!!!!!!!!!!))))))))))))
This is great. I got rid of my G85 about a year ago and now shoot with the GX9 and GX85. I'm sure the quality is similar on these cameras as well. Btw, I'm shocked you don't use a gimbal. Did you use a gimbal for your Red Rock video?
Thanks! Ya I'm certain the quality is similar for sure with those cameras - and I didn't use a gimbal for my Red Rock video. I did bring one with me, but found it more convenient to just go handheld as I've done with my previous vids.
Can you use the G85 to record directly into Clipchamp instead of my PC using its webcam?
I think there's a way to do so, with the hdmi capture card I believe, but I haven't set that up myself so I'm not completely sure
I just got the Panasonic G85 and was looking into the ND Filter from K&F. I'm using the 25mm 1.7f lens. Do I need a step-up ring and if so, which one?
Still decently new to videography and don't know a whole lot about ND Filters yet, hah. Thanks in advance and very helpful video!
Hey! I actually answered this previous but can copy and paste this here. Hopefully it explains it, and if you have further questions, just let me know!
So the 25mm I believe has a 46mm filter thread size, so you'll need to get a step up ring from 46mm.
Ex: 46mm to 67mm or 46mm to 82mm
It also depends on your lenses that you have currently and for future lenses with the size you get for the ND filter. 67mm I think is great because it's bigger for the panasonic micro 4/3 lenses available, but if you plan on upgrading in the future to full frame camera, those lenses would be much bigger, and I would look into getting a 82mm nd filter size, as you can use it later if you do change or upgrade your camera.

But it really depends on how you personally want to go about it, so hopefully that helps you!
@@TheCommodoreProductions thank you so much for sharing an elaborate answer! Helps a ton. I think you're right as far as upgrading goes and a 46mm to 67mm step up ring should last me a good while as I'll be familiarizing with the G85 and 25mm lens for now. Again, thank you!
Hey man, great content and quality.
Just im curious what lens you're using to film your head talking videos. Also are you using mist filter there too?
Thank you!!
Kit lens, which is the 12mm-60mm f3.5-f5.6
And yes I am using a mist filter on it
@@TheCommodoreProductions Thanks a lot. Much appreciated!
Which lens you use to for wide angle shoot??
I'm just using the kit lens!
Very informative and entertaining video! Do you colorgrade with Davinci Resolve? Your colors look soooo good, I would love a grading tutorial.
Thank you! I grade in Premiere! But dabbling in davinci here and there, perhaps will integrate moreso in the future😁
what firmware do you have installed? i heard that 2.7 fixes the af is that true or cap? lol
I haven't updated mine actually. I'll have to do that and test it out myself and see haha
Great video! Can you advise why my footage 4k24p looks laggy? Using the same g85 as you
I would check your shutter speed, make sure it's 1/50
@@TheCommodoreProductions it is 1/50, 1/60 when shooting 4k30p looks smooth, just changing to 4k24p and looks worse. Could it be just the feeling?
@ordinarylife8977 are you viewing it in an editing program?
Supposedly it should look smooth with those settings
@@TheCommodoreProductions thanks for tip. Timeline is matching. I see it laggy even in the playback on the camera. Maybe I expect too much as I am not shooting static shoots and I need to focus more on stabilization when I am shooting or settings on camera :/ Using Lens LUMIX G 25 mm f1,7. It`s making me crazy :D
Why not 46mm filter? I use it from K&F and works great. 25mm f1.7
I used it with the 25mm and also the kit lens, which I believe has a 52mm threading (or 56mm? Lol i dont recall on the top of my head), and also I wanted to make sure I didn't have any vignetting issues
@@TheCommodoreProductions aaah okay you use bigger for secure. I use standard 46 mm (for 25mm f1.7 46mm is standard) and with KF filter I dont have any problems 😎 thats what I want to hear 🫡
Do you think this camera is good for run n gun low light concert situations for capturing videos?
I would say no, since focusing manually by using the quick focus button might be hard and also the grain since you will be dealing with low light and have no choice but to bring up your ISO. You could bring a light, but again it might be limiting to your shot distance then.
It's doable but will be difficult. Definitely consider a camera that has good low light capabilities when it comes to this scenario, especially since it's an event and you need to capture quick moments, and with the G85 that will be difficult to do so
I went with the Lumix s5ii@@TheCommodoreProductions
Hey there, great vid! But just a noob question 😅
I'm new and just trying filmmaking since I've got my 14pro. I'm browsing for a 'proper entry film camera' but really on a tight budget. I'm looking at G85 as a good option.
But I've searched that the Iphone can shoot 4k at 60fps and can slow it down smoothly on post prod.
I can see that the G85 only allows up to 4k at 30fps.
Is there much of a difference when you try to slow it down on post prod or do you have tricks to do it or do a work around it to get a proper smooth slow-mo edit?
Also, would you be able to suggest some entry film camera for me please? 😅
PS: Your videos looks really cool 🤙🏼
Thank you! And all questions welcomed, so dont worry about it 👍🏼
So 60fps and 30fps is a good difference as it's double. There is slow-motion plug-in in after effects I believe called timewarp which can mimick slower frame rates. But I wouldn't personally use this option as it doesn't capture it as good as just shooting it in 60fps. The G85 does have the 60fps option in 1080p, and I've mixed that into my works with my 4K, and when I render it all out in 4K , it still looks great!
Another budget cameras would be Sony a7ii, but to be honest, the Sony lenses would be significantly more expensive, but you could go with third party lenses
Not sure any other cameras outside would be fit as you mentioned you were really tight on budget. But hopefully this gave you some insight! Let me know if you have more questions 😊
@@TheCommodoreProductions You're amazing man! Just the type of information I need. I might grab one of those G85's soon as it's still selling here (Aus) even if it's a 6yr old camera showing that it's well damn good.
I might have to pop in your comment sections in the future from time to time to help me dial into the camera 😅
Thanks again man, with your contents, your channel will thrive 🤙🏼🤙🏼
You can also use lens like 12-35mm f2.8 ii...that is also awesome lens...do you also shoot in 60p?
This lens is also amazing, but at $700 usd, I think you should consider if you're upgrading your camera within the panasonic line and if you are staying in micro 4/3. At least if you make this lens purchase, it would be worth while as you can continue to use it beyond the G85, as it's an entry film camera. Also on the side, the G85 for photos - it's not good, as the megapixels aren't that high on it, so I don't see it as valuable to have this lens given the price as it can only serve me for filming. I would just rent it to use occasionally, but other than that, I wouldn't buy it unless I am sticking within Panasonics Micro 4/3 line. It's a great lens along with many in Panasonic, as I've tried different ones, but ya this is why I didn't include that and the others.
And I use 60p only if I need it, so not as often.
@@TheCommodoreProductions ohh okay so what do you think if i use this lens on my gh5?
@@ironman9143 ya at that point I would say that would be a solid purchase for the Gh5 👍🏼
@@TheCommodoreProductions ohh thank you for this...one thing i want to ask you that how did you attach 67 and 82mm nd filters on 46mm filter size of this 25mm lens? can you tell me then i will also buy that also can give the link of purchase link? thank you....i have also same gear like you but did you ever think about that you need fast zoom lens for the g85 for tight or close up shots ?
Did you film this and the footage/shots in this video with the G85 ?
Yup!
@@TheCommodoreProductions Sooo good . Does this cam the ability to be put on a tripod ? & can we do 4k 120 FPS ? Do you have a review vid on this ?
@@highermusic111 ya tripod can be used with this - it has a thread on the bottom. It has 4k 30fps max, 1080 60fps max. And I have kind of a review video, but talks moreso about the use case for this camera
does this camera shoot raw?
For video it does not, just your standard .mp4 file
For photos, yes
Doesn't it have vlog
It does - but natural works best for skin tones, at least from my personal experiences
25mm 1.7 or 42.5 mm 1.7 ?
Depends on what you're going for with your shots. If you shiot more portrait closeups, or very intricate product shots, or something closeup, then the 42.5 is great. But if you want to have flexibility of a lens that can be used for many scenarios, then the 25mm is the way to go
@@TheCommodoreProductions And de 20mm-17? The quality is better than 25mm-17?
there is my new video with lumix gx85 if you want check it out

G85 has a fantastic autofocus. You need just to learn how to use its contrast-detect focus system. Stop throwing a tantrum LOL
Depends on your use case and also depends on your experience with other cameras. Maybe you find it really good in the way you use it, like if you have controlled lighting and a controlled environment - it would work decently in this type of scenario and would get the job done. But for me and how I use it, out in changing and dynamic environments for the most part, it's not as good. And even if I tried to optimize the contrast- detect focus system to make it perform the best, it's not optimal on how I would particularly use it. And the cameras that are out there nowadays are much better when it comparing the G85 auto focusing system in my opinion. But all in all, if it works for you and you're happy with it, then that's great! Maybe just share how you make the autofocus work best so all of us G85 users can learn to maximize it's capabilities, cause it's a beast of a camera 💪🏼
LOL... its true. G85 autofocus? really suckkkkks 😂
DO NOT get the Panasonic 25mm f1.7, get the MEIKE 25mm f1.8!!!!!!! It's half the price and I promise the quality is just as good as the Panasonic brand, I've had mine for a couple years and it's all I use.
the only reason I stick with Panasonic is that native lenses tend to do better than non-native lenses on this camera, at least from my experience. In particular, this is referring to the manual focusing method I talked about in the video, where I utilize the focus button or touch screen on an object, and it'll be faster to focus in on in contrast to a non-native lens. But that's from my experiences so far, and my purpose for this camera is an "on-the-go" type of shooting, which might not be necessary for everyone
Nice colours. Which lut do you use?
Thanks! And its my own color grading 🎨
does this work with panasonic g7?
