  1. Take a look at the new Olympus PRO primes. They are fast and sharp, with round bokeh balls, and the barrel doesn't telescope. With the clutch in the auto position, focus throw is about twice that of the Sigma 18-35. You can make gentle adjustments that don't disturb a hand held camera. And unlike the Voigtlanders the focus ring is in just the right position to balance the camera with you palm and focus with your fingers. With the clutch in the manual position you have the option of using a focus gear if you want that option. Unlike the Veydras they do breath a bit. The 12 has been announced but won't be available until later in the year. BTW I tried autofocus on the Olympus PRO lenses using the 179 degree trick. Not quick to find focus, but much better than adapted glass at maintaining focus on a face so long as the actor doesn't move too quickly and DOF is shallow. The Sigma 18-35 is a failure at both finding and maintaining focus. The Panasonic 12-35 is the king of auto follow focus on the GH5, but admittedly it is a very small kingdom and I haven't yet used in on an actual shoot.
