subsequent Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hi! I want a lense with "image stabilization" but i'm not sure what to pick. The reason that i want "IS" is for handheld shooting, and easy "one lens on the go". I have some prime lenses form Canon with a adapter and they are great on tripod's and steadicam but if i want to have as little equipment as i can with me i think "IS" is needed. Been looking on the 14-42 and the 14-140 from panasonic but the aperture is pretty high 3.5 to 5. But that may be normal on those kind of lenses. Does anyone have any suggstions?

subsequent Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Does anyone have any suggestion at all? :P Or maybe you got some other solutions like steadicam for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4INKiller Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If you want a faster aperture, you should probably wait for the new x lenses. I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsequent Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ok, thanks. I was just wondering how the crowd in here handles handheld filming with the gh2. It's not always possible to use a tripod/slider/steadicam. Just tought that it would be smoother with OIS on the lens, do the new X lens system have OIS on them? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Glidecam just released their XR series. Obviously for travel and quick shots it is not worth it but for work you might sell nothing beats it for the price.

subsequent Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ty! Think that is a little out of my price range for steadicam's but maybe.. Would just be nice to have a lens that has ois on it and decent quality for handheld shooting. Look's like i have to live the 3.5 f aperture on the panasonic lenses:) Im currently reading Andrew's book about the gh2 maybe i pick up some tip's there. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
