松下除了洗衣機也做相機 每個松下攝影師都有的鏡頭：lumix s 20-60mm

Hello Guys, I'm back outside. Wait, something is off. Nope, nope, nope. There we go. Hello Guys, we're back outside and in this video, I'm going to be talking about the first lens I got with my Panasonic Lumix S5. It's in focus. Yes, this is the Lumix S 20-60mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens. Let's go. So, this 20-60 kit lens was the first lens I had with the Lumix S5, after which I bought the 85mm f1.8 and the Sigma 24mm f2, which is recorded in this video. So, this lens basically built my whole Lumix content base, most of the videos recorded on this channel. Exclusively with this kit lens right here. I was a bit skeptical at first about using a kit lens because when I just started with my Nikon D3 500, all I have were my kit lens, the 18-55mm, something like that, and the 70-300mm, something like that. And they weren't the best lens for capturing premium looking content, but they got the job done. So, back then when I just got the S5, my first full-frame mirrorless camera, majority of my content, well not majority, all of my content were captured using this kit lens right here, both photography, video work, everything. I've shot like 5 music videos using only this lens right here. Crazy right? But it got the job done. A lot of persons may bash a kit lens, oh it's too basic, or the aperture don't open wide enough, or this, that, it's not sharp enough, blah blah blah. But if you know how to use your equipment properly and utilize your equipment to the best of your ability, you can get a lot done with just a kit lens. One of the perks of shooting on a kit lens like this is the fact that you have that 20mm, which is very wide and can cover a lot of stuff. You can use that for landscape, talking head shots, vlogging, that is very wide for vlogging. And then you have up to the 60mm focal length where you can use that for your portraits, closer tight shots. If you want to stand at a point and zoom in, you have that capability. So right there you have all the focal lengths between 20mm all the way up to 60mm. Given that you will sacrifice having a wide aperture with the variable aperture that comes with a kit lens, that's the trade off. So it's getting pretty dark and noisy outside where I'm at now, so I'm going to go inside to the studio to finish up this video. But in the meantime, enjoy these shots I captured using the 20-60mm kit lens. Enjoy! All right, we're now inside guys. And here I have the 20-60mm kit lens from Panasonic in comparison to the 85mm f1.8 prime. And they look almost identical. Let me take the lens hood off. So here we are. Now this is another one of the reasons why I like these lenses Panasonic have been making. The 18mm, 20mm, 24mm, 34mm, 50mm, 85mm are all the same size. They look exactly like the 20-60mm kit lens. And bear in mind this is a kit lens. And they managed to fit it into this form factor. Look how close it looks to the 85mm prime. Look at that. The only difference is the zoom ring right here and the big focus ring on the 85mm prime. But look at them. So coming in the box when you get the 20-60mm kit lens, you get the lens hood of course. You know that's a given. You get the lens cap. Duh, that's a given as well. But you also get this little cord here, this little thing for the lens cap on the 20-60mm. After buying my other Lumix lens, I don't seem to get that little cord on my lens cap. I only got it for the 20-60mm kit lens. So I have the basic specs right here from DP review. So we have the Lumix S 20-60mm. Zoom lens of course. It has no image stabilization. But I don't really care because the IBIS on the Lumix S camera bodies are insane. They are so good, I hardly use my gimbal. Most of the content I produce are handheld, especially on this channel. Also, it has a maximum aperture of f3.5. When you zoom up to 60, it goes to 5.6. The minimum aperture is 22, which is pretty standard. It has a minimum focus distance of 0.15 meters. Or 5.91 inches if you're in the US. A maximum magnification of 0.43. A weight of 350 grams. 0.77 pounds if you're in the US. A length of 87mm. 3.43 inches if you're in the US. And those are the specs right off the bat of the Lumix 20-60mm kit lens. I am not going to get into any deep details by doing a review of showing sharpness around the edges, the chromatic abbreviation compared to a $3,000 lens, the color science within this lens. You know, something you would get on a Gerald Undone video because, I mean, a person who is looking to buy a kit lens won't care about those stuff within a lens. If you're going to care about sharpness around the edge of a lens, you're sure not going to be spending $600 to get a kit lens. You're going to be getting a prime or a cinematic lens. So right off the bat, I think Panasonic did a superb job with pairing this lens with their S body of cameras as the kit lens. Because trust me, this is the do-it-all lens. And I am not exaggerating. I am not being biased. But yeah, this is the do-it-all lens. When I just got my S5 camera, I couldn't afford a prime lens right off the bat. So this did all of my video and photography work. I did a ton of event coverage on this lens. Shot music videos. Did portrait shoots just using this lens. What I love about it personally, the build quality is pretty solid. It's very lightweight. It's not a heavy lens because I have a Sigma 24mm f2 prime lens, which is shooting this video right now. And I think it's almost as heavy as this. And it's a prime lens. But that lens is fully metal. I think this is magnesium alloy with plastic. So it cuts down on the weight. And it is also weather-sealed, robust and shock-resistant. I don't know if it's shock-resistant, but I've dropped it and nothing happened. So yeah. And it's just great using this little lens to get so much done. You have the manual to automatic switch right here on the lens. Even though you have it on the Lumix camera, it's just good to have so much in this little tiny lens. Chromatic aberration when you're recording is minimum. You don't see a lot unless you go all the way up to the edges, which is pixel peeping. I don't think anyone would be zooming up all the way from a kit lens. Ghosting. Very minimal. You won't get rid of ghosting. And solar flares, they will be there in lens of this price point. I tend to use the wider spectrum of this lens when I'm capturing content. So I will always be at around 20, 24, 35mm. Maybe go up to 50, 60 if I'm trying to get some portrait or tight shots. So this lens lean a little more to the wider side of the spectrum instead of the telephoto side of the spectrum. And this is good for landscape photography, architecture photography, street photography. I don't think this would be an ideal lens for sport because it doesn't go as far out as you would have on like the 24-105, the 70-200 or 70-300 lenses. So this wouldn't be an ideal lens for sport photography unless you're right there up in the action and don't have to zoom in too far to reach whatever is taking place. Now as it relates to sharpness, this lens is pretty sharp. It's as sharp as all the lens I've got. I don't really pixel peep or zoom up into my photos to see, oh, this is not so sharp. This is not as sharp as that. No, no, I don't do that. As long as my subjects are in focus, I like to soften my images because I use mist filter. So every lens nowadays over $500 are sharp. So I don't think sharpness is an issue. It's not like some of the lenses that are sharp in the center and then the more you go to the edge of the frame, it starts to, you know, soften up. No, this lens maintains sharpness throughout from the center to the edge. The edge might be a little softer than the center, but it's still sharp. And the autofocus works absolutely well on this 20-60mm kit lens. It works better than this 24mm prime from Sigma I am using on the Lumix S5. This lens I have on the camera, it is very slow with the autofocus. I don't know why. I normally throw it in manual and focus myself. But with this lens, I have more trust in the autofocus with this lens than I do with this one on the camera. So autofocus, I guess it works better on Lumix lens than other brands. And the focus motor on this, it is so silent. Since using Panasonic cameras, I don't think focus motors exist. I don't hear them. They're so silent. When I had my Nikon, I could hear the focus. With my Panasonic Lumix lenses, even though they're newer, duh,they're gonna be more quiet compared to the Nikon and old EF lenses. These are very quiet. I don't hear the motors at all. And I am not exaggerating. They're so smooth and quiet. I could put it to my ear, focus and don't hear a thing. Kudos to Panasonic for whatever they're doing. Now,currently, if you want to buy this lens online, you can get it from anywhere between $500 to $600. I know for a fact, it's currently on Amazon for $600. You can get it pre-owned on eBay, Marketplace for a lower price. It's not an expensive lens. It's a very affordable lens. It's in the average price bracket of lenses. Now,before I continue my ranting, I'm gonna show you guys some samples I got from this right over here, my little 20-60. So you guys can see the images coming from this lens. I'm gonna be showing both photos and video samples. Enjoy. Now,is this lens for you? It depends on where you are as a photographer or a video creator. If you're just starting out getting your first full-frame camera from Panasonic or any L-mount system, and you want a lens that can get a lot done without breaking the bank or having to have multiple lenses, this would be perfect. If you're an intermediate photographer or video creator, upgrading from, say,a crop sensor, a micro four three, APS-C, and you want to get your first full-frame, but you can't afford a lot of lens, this would be perfect. If you're an advanced photographer or video creator, and you have a full-frame camera already, and you want to add some more lenses to your arsenal, this wouldn't be so ideal to you because since I've started accumulating more lenses, I found myself using the 20-60 less and less as I go along. I start planning my shoots more and using dedicated prime lens depending on the situation. But if I'm capturing content in a pinch, I'm going to pull for this. If I'm vlogging, I'm going to pull for this. If I want to shoot landscape architecture, this is currently the widest lens I've got, 20mm, I'm going to pull for it. So it all depends on your workflow and where you are as a photographer or a video creator.
