Liked the lens, probably will get that in the future. Probably the casualties on my side will be the two Nocticrons, the 35mm and 50mm. Lovely and cute little lenses, but I almost do not use them - this year I probably only used the 18-50mm f/2.8 zoom and the Viltrox 75mm 1.2. -
The 28-200mm is a good lens. I tried two samples, both performed the same. Acceptably sharp wide open between 28mm and 40mm. A bit soft wide open between 50mm and 150mm and very soft wide open at 200mm. But increasing the aperture just by one stop make the lens much sharper and the lens is very good at 200mm f8. It's a very good compromis because when you look at by example the 12-60mm PL I also own, the 28-200mm is a 14-100 f2-f3.5 equivalent in M43. Even when stopped down to be as sharp at a good copy of the 12-60mm PL, the 28-200mm can do the equivalent of 14mm F2, 25mm f2.8, 50mm f3.5 and 100mm f4 while being sharp. You loose the 24mm wide angle but I think it's a good trade for most use. My only issue with this lens is it makes sometimes a short but loud motor noise and vibration (about 2s) when using it in video with the S1 and S5. No issue with the S5II, S1II and S1RII. If you like lenses with high contrast and good color rendering, the 28-45mm is really excellent. Mine is very sharp at 28mm and extremely sharp at 35mm and 45mm even wide open. The focal range can feel somewhat limited but there is no better 28mm on L mount except the overpriced 28mm APO Summicron. The 70-200mm S Pro f4 looks good to pair with the 28-200mm indeed, I have the 70-200mm S Pro f2.8 and while it's a sharp lens with pretty good rendering, the size is an issue, at least for me. Yes and I think you will appreciate the S1RII. Like I don't record a lot of fast motion, I begin to think I could sell my S1II as the S1RII is easier for me to work, I can get good detail rendering from the H265 8K files whereas I need to shoot almost exclusively in Prores Raw on the S1II because I don't like the weird detail processing on the H265 or Prores files out of this camera. -
That 28-45mm is a very nice lens.. This guy was using the S1II but using the sigma 28-45mm 1.8 lens -
I’ve just picked up this lens. Or at least it’s arriving Monday. There are still some big black holes for me within L Mount glass but I came to the conclusion yesterday that this lens could have a place in my kit. I have been back and forth on the 28-105 and the 28-45 and would 100% have gone for the 28-105 had it been internal zoom which for anything 1kg or over, is a 99% must have. But it isn’t and I’m not going to say never to this lens, but right now, it doesn’t suit me even though the focal range and aperture are great. The 28-45 is probably happening, but going to shoot a few weddings on the new all L Mount set up first because it could work in isolation, but really I would like to pair it with a lens that does not, )but I hope will soon) exist; the 45-90mm f1.8 internal zoom. But in the meantime, I have the 70-200mm f4 (internal zoom!) for indoor work and will now have the 28-200 for outdoor, more stills than video I think, but we’ll see… I hate the external zoom but on a lens that weighs sub 500g, I can live with it. Also, by limiting myself to these smaller primes and zooms, I can skip the battery grip which for something like the 28-105, becomes essential to me for handling purposes, but I would rather keep everything as compact and light as possible without sacrificing too much performance. 4 bodies + 3 primes + 3 zooms gives a lot of options/combinations and as things stand is not only 1 less body than I have been using to date, but 3 rather than 2 less lenses so an even bigger bonus. -
Hi Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out, I appreciate it. Been pretty happy with the S1R2 mostly for stills so far, S52x's still do most of the video work for me (along with a Fuji X-H2S)
