  • af100 for first time – lens?

    Posted by Kent Beeson on November 16, 2011 at 7:54 pm

    Hi

    I’m used to shooting with my SONY EX1R, very nice bit I’m going to try the Panny AF100 – so what lens would be best if I’m used to 14x zoom which can hold focus and iris perfectly on my EX1R? What lens can get me down to 2.4 or lower and keep it steady even while zooming…anything else I should know about using the AF100 for first time?

    Thanks

    The Panasonic 14-140 would be the closest experience. That said- this is a prime lens camera at its best. Trying to replicate a fixed zoom lens operation is really missing the point of an interchangeable lens camera. If that’s what you’re after- get an AC130 or stick with the EX series- much simpler operation.

    You do realize, you won’t be zooming like on your EX-1.
