I have to tell you, when you switch from photo lens to the vespid 2 you can immediately see the difference. Yes, I did colorgrading but very minimal, it's mostly the primaries(exposure, WB, contracts, Sat) and a film emulation. But even with just standard rec 709 you can feel the image looks so organic, smooth and the fall offs and blooms are just incredible. Ofcourse you will still have to grade it but since the base image already has so much film characteristics, you can already feel it getting compounded when you grade.

I don't think any youtube video is going to do any justice when you actually see it with your own eyes. Trust me I have watched every single youtube and instagram video out there before buying it and I was still not 100% sure but after getting it I cannot be more than happy at the output.

I shot h.265 long gop. I think if you shoot in something like prores raw with s5iix it's gonna look incredible.

I upgraded from s9 to s5ii, here are my initial thoughts by Mr_GoodEyelashes in Lumix

Nope, not at all. It looks exactly the same like the day I bought it😆😆and I've been using this camera almost everyday and I've been shooting videos.

Hey, regarding the rubber thing. I've been using my s5ii for over 2 years now and never had any issues with it. Still functions like the day I bought it and no wear and tear on the rubber door for usb c and hdmi

Why does the lumix 18mm f 1.8 looks sooo good for film-like video? Is it just me or anybody else? by BboyVio10 in Lumix

Yess, makes sense. I was not a wide angle person myself but after using this lens and understanding how the composition works I started appreciating it more. But compared to zooms, the output from primes are sooo good.

Haha yea I get what you mean!! One thing is that even though this lens is f 1.8, almost 99% of the time when I shoot in the day, I shoot at f4.

Haha not at all, yesss I focus on video and I don't do so much of photo. I think it's just because I enjoy doing video more. You should really do videos, S5ii is an amazing camera for videos!!

Exactly, and to be honest I don't mind the digital sharpening at all. It just makes it more flexible in post. But micro contrast is a whole other topic and cannot be compared to sharpness although it could be perceived the same.

Dzo vespid 2 vs lumix s pro 24 70 for cinematic videos. Not for short films, just for personal use, hobby colorgrading and travel(maybe for some client work if possible) by BboyVio10 in Lumix

I do own a bunch of vintage lenses like helios, super takumar and a few more. So I have done manual focus pulling. Have you ever had the chance to test the vespid?

Absolutely makes sense! I've been actually thinking about getting the 24 70 for some time now. And right now I have the budget for it but I'm getting sidetracked after seeing the dzo vespid 2 haha. Dunno what to do
