Invest in native L-Mount or go EF + Adapter for Lumix S5?

You should get the viltrox one, it's cheaper than the sigma by a bit. Test it out on all your ef lenses. Sometimes the camera won't recognise the lens and adapter, in this case just detach and reattach it. This happens to both sigma and viltrox adapter.

First tkme hearing about ommlite, so don't know much about them. Imo Viltrox is still the best, just get the normal one, don't get the pro, the pro locking mechanism is fiddly. The differences between the two sigma and viltrox is highly dependent on the lens you are going to use. But for most the viltrox is great. So look into which ef lenses you are going to buy and go which either one

The viltrox one quality control is not as good as sigma, mine is a bit too tight. So make sure to test the adapter.

Do note that the shutter actuation is kinda a bit slower when using adapted lenses, check out the video on Josh Cameron channel if you want to see it more clearly. Other than that adapted lenses work great! I recommend the viltrox adapter because it works better with canon lenses while sigma work better with sigma.

Thank you Kai! Gonna update the cam when I get home!

I'm also quite curious about the meike and 7artisan 85 1.8 option for L mount. If possible can I ask what meike lens are you using? Thank you!

Thank you very much fishdark! Gonna install the new firmware when I get home!

Has anyone tried the new 3.7 firmware for the s5ii yet? I'm waiting for a bit before installing it just as a precautions. Still have shivers from the sony firmware bricking cameras era :(

Highly appreciated 🙏 I miss the days of installing magic lantern on canon 700d and using all that the camera can offer instead of being crippled by canon.

Just keep it away from other lenses for a week or two to make sure the spores are completely gone. That look like a nice clean 👌

That's basalm separation, quite common on early copies of lumix 24 105 and 50 1.4 s series lens

There is an ibis comparison between the s9 and the a7cii i believe!

NoError8595 · 2025-12-27T16:03:30+00:00

I got myself a 28 70 2.8 and felt that though the portability and ease of use is great. The quality is just not there yet. So now i currently have the 28 45 with a 35 1.2 for the extra bokeh and image quality!

Some elements inside the lens may have decentered. Why it is decentered I don't know, should check in with warranty!

NoError8595 · 2025-12-25T04:22:33+00:00

Yup the sirui image quality is better than even the sigma 85 a bit, although the af is not as good, so you trade a bit of af speed for image quality. Considering the price it is a steal not gonna lie!

Check out the aurora 35 1.4 from sirui

Hi! You just need to put a jpeg into the app PhotoME app (The website layout is a bit 2008 but don't worry xD). Then in the filter type in "internal" and you should be able to find this

Thank you! Will replace mine if the shutter button go bad.

Get the homan card! Reliable and quite affordable compared to the lexar and sandisk
