4:40 hold on. they all offer 1:1 at closest focusing distance, so how exactly does Lumix have an advantage when it has a shorter working distance to achieve 1:1?
@photojoseph
Ай бұрын
Good question, although I thought I addressed this? Maybe not. Anyway, it confused me too until I figured out why - the reason the others focus at 1:1 from farther away is focus breathing. They breathe (zoom) so much that they effectively zoom in to get to 1:1 from farther away. One could certainly argue this as an advantage (staying farther away from dangerous critters) but it does mean that you’re not using the whole lens and if you’re focus stacking you’ll have that much more waste. Hope that helps!

Great review, thanks for all the work that goes into it. I noticed in the size comparison that most of the other lenses seem to have optical stabilization, but I didn't catch any mention of the Panasonic having that. Would that also help in reducing the overall physical length (& weight too) of the Panasonic verses the others?
@photojoseph
8 ай бұрын
Thank you! Yes, that can make a difference. The IBIS on the latest LUMIX is so good that it is largely unnecessary in the lens. It’s a trade-off; lighter lens is easier to hold, so less shake, so easier to stabilize, etc.

Thank you! And no, this won’t work and can’t be adapted to MFT. There are already two macro lenses for the G9II however; the 30mm geni.us/6oztGL and 45mm Leica geni.us/HBe88NJ - the 45mm Leica is particularly nice.

How does this lens compare to the Lumix Pro-S Leica-certified lenses? I bought into the Lumix S1R and S1 on day one thinking I'd get Leica type photos only to be greatly disappointed with the AF. Resale values sucks so I'm stuck with them. I own 3 of the 4 Pro-S lenses. (don't own 16-35 because I'd prefer a 2.8). I'm assumming Panasonic won't be making anymore Pro-S lenses and no updated S1ii/S1Rii's as they're focused on the smaller, cheaper S5ii series and non-Pro-S lenses. This new 100 macro has me interested.

I’m not sure what autofocus has to do with “Leica type photos”; Leica uses the same contrast AF system that the cameras you have does. The S lenses you have are Leica quality. As for the future; assume nothing.
@keithspurlock4732

@@photojoseph sorry for the confusion. It has absolutely nothing to do with AF. I was just asking you about the quality of the 100mm macro which is not a Pro-S lens compared to the Leica-certified Pro-S Lumix line of lenses? Colors/DR/sharpness/distortion, etc. The Pro-S lenses are really a level up which is why I haven't purchased any of the prime lenses except for the Pro-S 50mm 1.4 which is a superb lens. Would this 100mm macro lens shoot a portrait as good as my Lumix Pro-S 70-200mm 2.8 shot at 100mm? Thanks for your reply.

Thanks! 1:1 means that the subject is the same size in real life as it is in the sensor. Usually that means closest focusing distance is 1:1. You can photograph a ruler at closest focus to verify it.

Joseph, great breakdown of this lens. As a portrait shooter, would you recommend pairing this with the 85 1.8 ? Or is this lens enough of a portrait lens that I should maybe look at the 35 or 50 1.8 to pair it with ?
@photojoseph

It really depends on what else you already have. If you're buying the macro, then you probably wouldn't use the 85 that much. I'd go for the 50mm next.
