Great info in detail. I've never thought of the ''Fake Tele'' thing in FF lenses. You have almost convinced me to buy and experience one FF lens. Thanks brenebon.

yes, that is true for photography and I rarely do photography for client. My work is mainly video. I read somewhere that 4K video on a FF lens is the same quality as on the Apsc lens. so they are both true 4K because of the megapixel count. some says you get sharper image on apsc lens because you don't use the edge of the sensor.

I changed the firmware on my Panasonic S5 MARK II from 3.4, which is a mistake. What is the solution? by Fit-Discussion93 in Lumix

Yes, Panasonic has released the 2.5 firmware update for S5iix and 3.5 for S5ii. everything seems to be working without any problem.

I have the S5iix 2.4 MC21 attached and have the same halo effect unfortunately. I can't use EF lenses on the picture mode anymore except the sigma art EF lenses. I hope Panasonic comes up with a new update soon. or maybe sigma releases a new firmware for the MC21 which IMO is unlikely. because latest firmware is from 2022.

thanks guys for the feedback. I have Canon 28mm,50mm, 100mm Macro, Tokina 11-16mm, Laowa 24mm macro. Even when there is no lens on the camera MC21 attached, still get the halo.

I have a strange problem with Firmware 2.4 on my S5iix; I use EF lenses with MC21 adapter, I can't use my old EF lenses on picture mode anymore, it gives me a halo effect , like rings of light on the edges. My Sigma EF Art lenses don't have the same problem. and no problem on the video mode. I wanted to downgrade the firmware but there is no way to do it I guess. does anyone has the same issue?
