As far as i can see there is no focal reducer with electronics (auto focus) for Nikon lenses. Not a deal breaker anyway! But i guess im right...am i?

Hey Fritz. Right now (even if the kit lens is weather sealed....its not like it is in my plans to shoot in the rain for example :D) my plan is getting the body only and keep the two series E with a focal reducer. Later, if ill have to shot an event, ill be getting the sigma 17-50 f2.8 (because of the limited budget). Those Nikons you mentioned i know them but they are too expensive :|

I know that with that lens image is stabilized by the 5 axis in body + the lens stabilization but with vintage lens the body stabilization still works, right?

Hey Jonpais. No, no! Probably i gave you the wrong idea I know that in most cases Kit lenses are not very good (altough the nikon 18-55 vrII, for example, is sharper then i would have expected) but in this case i just wanted an opinion if even tough it is only 100€ if i should get it or not (a zoom lens always come in handy i guess) or if its too bad that i should for example wait and get the sigma 17-50 f2.8 nikon mount (budget wise). sigma 30mm i know that it is a good lens but right know i have the Nikon series E 28mm 2.8 thats "more or less" the same mm wise so before investing in another prime i think ill get a constant aperture zoom. Thanks for your response! PS: I read that you have a G85...are you enjoying it? (menus and operation wise)

Thanks for your reply mercer. Yeah, as i said i love the image (D5300 = D5500 in that aspect) but in my opinion this camera is a nightmare for video recording and the panasonic has focus peaking as zebras for example and that matters most to me than the 4k and IBIS (of course these are a plus). Yeah i know. My question was kind of "well...with the kit lens the price is just +100€...should i buy it anyway?"

Hey guys. I would like to get some opinion on this. I have a Nikon D5300 and i only use it to record video. I also have two kit lenses 18-55 and 55-200 and two primes 28mm F2.8 series E and 50mm 1.8 series E (i never needed more glass to be honest so i didnt invest in other altough i was thinking on buying the sigma 17-50 2.8). I love the image that this camera can produce (i use Flaat_11) but it is a NIGHTMARE to use it while filming....grrrr. Im thinking about getting a G80/G85. So my question is: as long as i want to keep my primes (i like the seres E) is it worth it to buy with the kit lens (12-60)? (im going to sell the zooms and the nikon body) What you guys think if i buy a focal reducer Nikon-M43 and use it with only Nikon glass? Thanks in advance guys.

Hey to you all! This is my first post here so...be nice to me! I have a Nikon D5300 and i only use it to record video. I have two kit lenses 18-55 and 55-200 and two primes 28mm F2.8 series E and 50mm 1.8 series E (i never needed more glass to be honest so i didnt invest in other altough i was thinking on buying the sigma 17-50 2.8).

(im going to sell the zooms and the nikon body) What you guys think if i buy a focal reducer Nikon-M43 and use it (in the future as well) with only Nikon glass? Thanks in advance guys.
