A little off-topic but all the lenses that I own for my S5 are manual focus, but I'm looking to purchase one AF lens primarily for stills. I'm thinking of leaning towards a 50mm prime. Does anyone have any suggestions for their favorite budgeted <$1000?

Thanks all for the awesome suggestions!

Thank you for your replies! The helios definitely sounds like something fun to play with. Is this the type of lens adapter you were referring to @kye? Urth 

I just picked up an S5 body for $900, and I'm excited to start shooting with it. I intend to focus mainly on stills, though. Does anyone have any recommendations for prime lenses I should try and get my hands on? Thanks for suggestions!

Shot this with an XT3 and GH5. 

Was GH5 the wide?

Sorry, this post is slightly off-topic, but I teach 8th graders an Arts, A/V class, and I'm considering doing a unit on YouTube content creation. It'd involve them researching what are the most successful channels, and summarizing what sort of content they produce. They'd then go onto brainstorming what kind of content they'd produce for their channel (which they won't actually make in my class for student privacy reasons).

I think I'd have them design a channel logo, write episode outlines or scripts, and produce vlogs using their phone. Any thoughts on this idea?

Can anyone explain to me why Panasonic still doesn't have the ability to punch in to check focus while recording?

Put a Canon on every bracket and you will hit 4/5 for sure!

LOL HIlarious!

Is this nearly as good as the Ronin S?

Where can I find that deal Laser blue>

We gonna hear Andrew chime in on this sometime soon? I know he did a blog write-up about it with a pre-release model 

Any updates on this camera? Anyone purchase one yet? 

Curious, do you think this might be a good companion to the GH5? I've been considering selling my GH5 lately, because I've been wanting to go a full-frame route, but I'm thinking, since I already own quite a few GH5 accessories, maybe this would be a nice segue into a Canon system? 

Just got mine yesterday and took some footage of some interesting characters at a nearby carwash.
