The Lumix S 20-60mm lens has been glued to my Lumix S5ii since I bought it. It's been my 'do it all lens' for months and I absolutely love it. In this video I talk about my experience with this lens and why I believe the 20-60mm focal range could be a game changer for zoom lenses. Step aside 24-70.

Thanks for watching folks! A tad late but hope you enjoy this one! 📸

This lens deserved such great video like this.

@Edio47 1 year ago

I just found your channel. After researching for almost a month I decided to go for the lumix s5ii with 20-60 lens.
I really liked your video in a way I felt a friend is talking to me with full honesty. Thats rare with other youtube channels.

You’re not alone. I love an old abandoned vehicle, especially on a farm 😁

I would genuinely love a 20-60 f2.8 if that could be pulled off

Just picked this lens up from Amazon - Renewed shop for £234.99. It came without its original box but other than that, it looks brand new!

Lovely video! I’m so happy you found your way back to music too,
It’s so much nicer and more personal then using stock music or AI. Keep going, it sounds wonderful 🩵

Those are some beautiful interior shots with the 20mm. Thanks for sharing your insight on the camera and lens. I’m ready to pull the trigger on this LUMIX camera and lens

Thank you for the beautiful pictures and the fine music

The way you presented pictures is very emotional and engaging ❤ your videos have emotions and angles lines and a balance in them that drives viewers eyes 👀
That’s amazing

The wobbles in the corners is crazy.

@mrgrandad1961 1 year ago

Really enjoyed your video, especially those interior shots...They look perfect. Lucky me found this lens in mint condition going really cheap (£150) ! And its great . There are a couple of other reasons as to why this lens is So versatile...its weather resistant and has a 15cm close focus distance at the 20mm end !!

I think panasonic put a lot into this lens to really get the s line selling and now it is slept on because its a kit and it doesnt have a ton of bokeh , even myself i had it and sold it and just ordered one again

@ankerwiedemann 3 months ago

I bought this lens based on your feature, and it is my "kit lens" for the Leica SL, and I am very happy with it. The range og focal length is very versatile and sensible. And it was so cheap. I paid around 200 € for it - nowhere near any of the M-lenses I bought. Great recommendation!

Definitely agree on the field of view discussion - that 18-40mm L-mount lens looks good for your system (I think?!) too. I've come to the conclusion that our field of view changes depending on our environment. In an urban environment (and maybe woodland), where things are a lot closer to us, for me it's between 21-28mm, out in rural areas it's more like 28-43mm because things are further away for me. For a documentary style at least. Anyway, great video, photography and music, Chris. And high five to a fellow music degree graduate! University of Liverpool class of 2008 alumni here! Keep making beautiful music mate!

In one video you answered many of my questions. Both about equipment and about the approach to my hobby - photography. Thank you very much. Beautiful, informative, soulful, inspiring. Good luck to you!
