News New Panasonic S 100mm 2.8 Macro Lens

[Markuswelder]

I use my 28-70/2.8 for my children all the time with Eye/Face/Body-Tracking and off cause CAF and can't complain about it. In good light, I don't think there is a big difference to the Panasonic 50/1.8. With less light the Panasonic lens is better compared to the Sigma. But it's also f2.8 vs f1.8.

I think you've nailed it there. I've also noticed that the Lumix 50 drops off in AFC performance as the light drops. But I'm yet to try the 28-70mm back to back with it, or in similar lighting conditions.

New? The 10th Feb? We've seen that already and discussed it in this very thread.

I still like the MTF chart.

My lens seems very nice like that.

Good luck finding a real life macro flat field subject for it.
