4 Lenses YOU need for the GH5/GH4 

Cool vid. Does the Rikonon need the Metabone to fit the gh5... or can it go straight on there?

Thanks Tyler, as someone who speaks direct to camera and coaches golfers would you recommend the GH5 as I’ve been told the auto focus isn’t very good and thus it’s a two person camera...me speaking with a camera man. Love to hear your thoughts

*Great video, thanks for sharing! I'm deciding between the M43 or the Nikon mount for the Rokinon 85mm on my GH5. It would look great with a SpeedBooster I'm sure!*

Great video! Just subscribed! I recently got the Metabones 0.71x and the Sigma 18 - 35. I also ordered the Rokinon Cine DS 35mm and 85mm. Doing the 'normal' math for these lenses, would the metabones and Rokinon combo bring the T stop down to 1.0? I've been looking all over the internet but nobody has given me a definite answer. You said (5:00) we will get another half stop of light through the Metabones. Does that mean it goes down to T1.4? I might get the Canon 50mm STM 1.8 just for kicks. Again, great video and great music videos.

Great video! Thanks for the lens suggestions. Keep working on the b-roll.

Keep grinding , u making big moves and your work speaks for itself 💪🔥💯

Good day, i finally bought the GH5 this week and i also bought the Metabones Speedbooster Ultra with the Sigma 18-35mm and the Tokina 11-16, but for some reason the Sigma lens isn't fitting on the speedbooster is seems like the mount is too small, but the Tokina lens fit perfectly, so i had to return the Sigma lens.... This is my first mirrorless camera so i made sure to ask the company first before i purchase it... this is the description of the sigma lens i bought lens (F/1.8 DC HSM A (Art) EF Mount Lens For Canon APS-C Sensor DSLRS)

Great advice! I subscribed. Loved that u put some examples from your videos, they look stunnning. I might get a Gh5 soon and for the moment i‘d prefer working only with native lenses. Which lense do u think i could use next to the 12-35? Thank you for any suggestion ;)

Thanks for this video, it really helped me in buying the right lens

Excellent video! Is there any focus sound on the 12-35?

I recently bought the ef 70 200mm and I plan on getting the 12-35 Panasonic Lens,I also have a youngnuo 5omm to do close ups,so if you were shooting a comedy and a drama so what kind of shots would you use these 2 lens for, I know the ef is zoom lens but it also looks good up close, what shots would do with each lens I'm just checking for advice

Hey tyler, thank you for the informative video! I was just curious about the rokinon 85mm. I noticed you posted a link for the canon version do you prefer that setup with the metabones over the micro four thirds version?

Awesome review, I really need to get myself a metabones there seems to be so many more options 🎉📸

I had a Tamron 2nd generation 10-24 3.4 (2.9 with Metabones XL) instead of tokina 11-16, and Im very glad with this glass, thinking of better sharpness with tamron. Also I have canon 24-105, lumix 12-60, famous canon 50 1.8 and my best lovely old sigma 20mm 1.8 (1.2 with speedboster).

Tyler needed your sincere advice here, I'm a vlogger/film-maker on RU-vid & soon getting the GH5. For my type of shots i.e Wide-Angle lens for vlogging (specifically), what lens do you recommend? *WHICH WORKS WITHOUT THE METABONE* Waiting for your reply buddy! cheers.

What's Up Tyler! When you're filming the music videos or doing photography with these lenses, are you saying the Metabones makes the GH5 capable of autofocusing with the lenses (though somewhat untrustworthy)or that you manual focus?

How does the image quality and look compare to the 12-35 when you use the sigma

Looking on getting a gh5 and this was the video I needed.

Hey Tyler another good video. Which rokinon 85mm lense do you recommend the cannon version or the micro 4:3?

Which is better, the metabones Ultra or XL? i'm buying these same lenses you have

Hi there. What lense under $1000 for do you recommend for gh5 specially for short films ? Thank you.

Nice and informative video, thanks! I am new on GH5 and a bit confused about the sigma 18-35mm. Which type should I choose? The one for Cannon? In this case is it going to work in combination with the Viltrox EF-M2 II Speed Booster 0.71x Adapter (Canon EF/EF-S)?

As always great content!

Great video. I recently got the rokinon 85mm f1.4 and had really high hopes for it. I don't know if this is the same on yours but it's very very soft wide open. Lots of bloom around the highlights and the contrast is meh. Do you usually stop it down when shooting? I think around 2.0 it's good but wide open for me is really not usable. I'm also using speedbooster+g9. The 18-35 is Razer sharp. Live that lens.

using the tokina for real estate. what aperture do usually use? and how u focus ?

thanks for the video! with the 11-16, are you able to achieve infinity focus? i've read online that some people have to adjust the settings inside the speedbooster to attain infinity. really want this lens, just not if i have to mess with the metabones factory settings. i have the nikon mount xl .64 thanks!

What lens would you reccomend for close up videos? I have the gh4 and the 14-140 lens which doesnt seem brilliant. Especially when close in videos and images.

Great! No way to fix for infinity focus issue with Tokina 11-16?

is sigma 18-35 native for the GH5 mount? Can I use the Autofocus and all the electronic controls? Also, when I adapt a metabones, do the other electronic controls (except for autofocus) work or not?

hey bruv - helpful video! one question though! (if you have the 12-35mm, which can get you the wide angle, why do you suggest getting the Tokina (11-16mm? if you are punching in at 12mm for the wide shots (real estate reference)) - im new to this lol sorry lol

Hey Tyler great recommendations here..... What are your I.S. settings when you did your music video shoots shown in this video when you used the 12-35mm lens?

Can the Tokina 11-16 fit on a ff camera as well or does it need an adapter?

Hi is the Rokinon a direct fit on the GH5 or do I need an adapter?

Hey Tyler, I have a GH4 with a KIPON EOS-m4/3 adapter. If i purchase the Sigma 18-35mm will that still attach properly to my GH4?

Doesn’t the sigma 18-35 fit directly on the gh5 or I need an adapter

According to you, which are 2 must have lens for shooting music videos with gh5? I'd appreciate your suggestions as i plan to buy Gh5! Thank you for your videos!

I have a 35 Rokinon 1.5 T Cine and is amazing!!

Informative video..I have the rokinon 85mm for shooting music video now I jus need a very crisp lens for shootin wide angles and music videos..wat do you recommend?

I am looking for a wide lens. What do you think about the 12mm f2 Samyang? Or do you have a better alternative?

I have the olympus 14-42 mm f3.5-5.6 and rokinon 35mm T1.5 for m43. Will the viltrox m2 adapter make my lenses faster? And if so to how much. Idk what half a stop means

Great video! Do you try Sigma with gimbal? Or it too heavy?

Think getting the Sigma 18-35 AND Panasonic 12-35(or 12-60) would be good? I want the Sigma for creative shots and low light, and Panasonic for traveling... just not sure if it's overkill.

Thanks for the review. Laowa 7.5 f2 amazing wide lens

So if i understand it well, i dont need any adapter and i can just use it on my GH5?

metabone vs viltrox ef m2 ? What are you recommend ?

Hello, if you put the 85mm in the panasonic gh5, it transforms into a 170mm, for which scenes you will use it, greetings

For the Rokin 85mm do you have the Canon one or the micro 4/3's one

Great review. Thanks for your input

I have the four main Rokinon Cine DS lenses (18mm, 25mm, 35mm and 85mm) - all MFT, so no adapter needed. I have a Lumix 14-45mm lens - do you feel that's good enough, or is the 12-35mm better? How do you feel about the Olympus 40-100mm lens?

Which video lens did you recommend for a interviews, sitting talking to the camera, never more than 2metres far. ? Thanks!!!

Hey man! I am shooting on my gh4 with the apurture lens regain and the sigma 18-35. I really have issues getting a crystal-clear video. I dont know why. The native olympus 25mm does give me a great picture. I am even shooting with F3.2 to make sure my subject is in focus but I dont get that sharp look for some reason. Do you know why that is?

I'm thinking about buying the GH5 to make travel videos, and i wanna keep it simple and versatile, if you had to choose just one lense what would it be? Thanks!

Does the 18-35 vingette?

Hello! I am thinking of purchasing a GH4R (body only). I'm looking for an economic 50mm (or around) lens. My question is: are all lenses compatible with GH4 but Canon? If I get a Sigma or Olympus, will I need an adapter anyways? Thank you!

Which Gimbel is good for the Sigma 18-35 + metabones combi? I ordered a gh5 s and would like to film with these combi.

Hey Tyler! Wich lens is better for GH5 to blurry backround? 12-60 or 12-35?

so all these lenses are dependent on if you have a speed booster or not? These don't mount directly onto Lumix G cameras?

My personal best are lumix 12-35 2.8 and lumix 20 1.7 They cover all for adventure filming plus give you some outstanding low light on e.g. Panasonic GH5. In my opinion a perfect combination, especially that 20mm is sized like a small box of matches

Can I use these lenses on gh4

So Autofocus doesn't work *at all* with the Metabones Speedbooster, or does it work, but is just unreliable?

How is it with an ef-s lens like tokina 11-16, I thought it wasn't compatible with ef-s lens.

Thanks for the vid Tyler! QUESTION: Have you had any issues shooting on the Sigma 18-35 in either FHD or 4K using the Metabones XL .64 version? Metabones website recommends the ULTRA (older .71 version) for the GH5 rather than the XL. They say: "On GH5, Speed Booster XL can be used with full frame lenses only. DX lenses are unable to cover full-sensor-width readout + in-body image stabilizer (IBIS)."

Nice video Tyler, so the advantage getting the Rokin 85mm (Canon mount) rather than the MFT mount is the extra stop of light from the metabones?

which one of style i have to buy on amazon for my GH4 ? Canon, Sony,Nikon...? Thanks :)

Good info here...thanks. Is the Tokina lens a Nikon mount? If so how are you using it with the GH5 via a Canon SB adapter?

is this good for gh4

Great vid i only use sigma 18-35, 50mm1.8 and tamron 70-200 mm

I'm a Canon owner currently but I'm moving to a GH5 and was curious if you HAVE to have the Metabones adapter for the Canon lenses to mount onto the GH5 or can they mount like a native GH5 lens. I assume you would need the adapter but I'm not sure as I've never owned anything other than Canon equipment. Thanks

if you want character, look at 12 mm. 1.4 Leica DG Summilux or Optik Meyer stuff for very creative and take the difference between other´s look

I wonder if that sexy Rokinon 85mm works with the LensRegain for follow focus...

What adapter do you use to attach Tonkina to Gh5? Thanks D

FYI regarding DOF the lens is still F 1.8. The 1.1 is just a reference to the more light that hits the sensor. Also when you zoom in and out with the sigma in your video, there is a light change. Did you have any auto settings active?

Lol I went shopping for new lenses, and I already use these!

Awesome vid! Any reason that you went with the 11-16 vs the 11-20?

I heard the Rikonon's are awesome but the build quality is only decent so they don't last no more than 3 years. How long have you had yours?

Good job! Well done CONCISE I like that

The metabones and the alternatives are better than you think. The metabones ultra at .71x gains you an extra stop and the metabones XL at .64x gains you 1 and 1/3 stops. I'm glad you included them in your review because I'm wondering whether to go with the Panasonic 2.8 lenses or get the speedbooster and manual focus when needed.

Very informative

what do you power zoom lenses would you recommend?

How is autofocus in Photo mode with speedbooster + sigma 18-35? Is it better than in video mode?

Do you need the metabones adapter for the Sigma?

great video !!!

how does the rokino lens go with the metabones speedbooster speedbooster?

Tyler Casey I have GH4 camera and a lens of 12mm-50mm is it good for real estate pictures? Thanks

Great selection! You should try the Prominar 8.5mm prime. Zero distortion. Most epic wide angle for establishing scenes, steady-cam work, wild shots or combat fucking awesome! Expensive yes around 800 bucks but older Prominar anamorphic lenses are used in Hollywood and cost thousands so I guess that's a steal for the quality you get :D PS. : Very nice shots man!

is it better to film with fixed lens for movies or does it matter

Kind of important to point out, but just a technical error, your SpeedBooster actually adds a full 1 1/3 stops of light, while the x0.71 gives a full single stop, not the half that you quote for your x0.64.

How do you keep focus with the manual lenses

the problem with the metabones XL .64x is that it gives vignetting on full HD and stills photo. unless your shooting mainly 4k that has a crop in it then i suggest you take the ultra with the 0.71x.. or just get the viltrox ef-m2 II.. much cheaper.

Would the Rokinon be better than Canon 85mm 1-8?

Hi do you use rokinon 85mm with micro 4/3 mount or fullframe cameras? thanks

HELLO, How can I make soft skin on panasonic gh5?

This is a dope comparison ive watched it at least 5 times lol. Does the whole metabone+sigma combo you mentioned make it difficult or not yield great results as opposed to just the 1st lumix lens you talk about?

do you think the metabones speed booster is a 100% needed with the GH5 or can you get by using a regular £100 adapter and fast lenses?

Just stumbled upon your video young brother. I'm looking into getting a Sony A7RII and Lumix G9. Currently shooting with a Canon T6. I like your style and just subbed. Will look for you on Instagram. PEACE from the STL👊🏾

you really should mention more about the crop factor

Get a led channel for the rgb strip on the wall. It will make it look a lot better when you can only see the light and not the leds them self

You should have bought a Viltrox Speed Booster, I love mine. It's 1/3 the price and people claim it has the same quality as the metabones.

Any advice on what profile you use for your videos.... thanks

What is the aperture of the Panasonic lens?
