Prem:I just wanted to share my travel film I made while I visited Japan earlier this year. I shot all 3 videos using the Panasonic GH5 with Leica 8-18mm, Voigtlander 25mm and Sigma 18-35mm lenses. Mostly handheld but I did use the Zhiyun Crane v2 for some shots. I have been an avid reader and follower of the website since GH4 was released. Excited to be part of this community.

Featuring a 210° angle of view, this lens delivers unique circular fisheye field of view on Micro four thirds cameras. The ultra-wide angle view allows photographers to create 360° panorama with ease. Despite the unique & ultra-wide perspective, the lens only weighs 0.3 pounds (135g).
