I have shot several videos, including a few broadcast productions, with my GH5 rig with Lumix 12-35mm lens. I love this little package. It's light, the IBIS is amazing, the lens is sharp. I can operate it handheld all day (and that includes 2 wireless receivers, my Ninja V and a Rode VideoMic on top). Most shoots are outside so low-light has almost never been an issue either.
I just wish I had a little more Bokeh, and give it an even more cinematic look so to speak. I've seen so many video's from so many people here and on youtube all claiming the Sigma Art 18-35mm is THE BEST lens (paired with a speedbooster obviously) for the GH5.
But it's a lot bigger, and heavier, right? It has that super shallow Depth of Field and nice Bokeh though, and I assume it helps a lot with achieving that nice cinematic look? But this will make handheld operation a little harder, as it will be more difficult to nail the focus, I assume?
Thoughts? People that have used both lenses, what are the strengths and weaknesses, and is it worth owning both, or switching just for the Bokeh and extra low-light? If my rig gets heavier I am considering to get a Easyrig to put less stress on my arms and more on my back.
