in the above video, I paired the Panasonic LUMIX S5 II camera with the Tokina 25-75mm T2.9 Cinema zoom lens. Tokina was kind enough to lend us the lens so that we can review it together with the new LUMIX camera and my aim was to film a mini-documentary to see how well (or not) they work in the field. Whatever conclusion I’m going to come up with, there is no substitute for watching the results and judging the footage for yourself. But first, let me thank Dr. Ludovic Ferrière, who is a geologist and curator of the meteorite and the impactites collections at the Natural History Museum in Vienna, for letting me spend a day together with him.

In short, Panasonic now has a camera system with extremely capable autofocus functionality and you can learn more about it by checking out our LUMIX S5 II review here. There is already A LOT of information on the new Panasonic S5 II out there, but I was curious to try and do something a bit more creative with the camera than just playing around with the autofocus system. As far as I’m concerned, this camera might be limited in specifications, but certainly not in what one can achieve with it....
