The latest list of compatible lenses for the X5

Alessandro Garabaghi · Jun 22, 2016

oops 15mm x 1.5 = 30mm
so 45mm x 1.5 = 67.5mm

If i film a lot of wake boarding with the x3 and was thinking of moving the x5, would the M. Zuiko 45mm be a good choice. What would the equivalent mm be on the x5? I know the 17mm is 30mm equivalent, so its ~1.8x on the x5 sensor?

17mm x 1.8 = ~30mm
45mm x 1.8 = ~ 81mm ?

I would think the 45mm would be too tele for action sports where both the drone and the subject are in motion. I'd argue the 25mm is a better choice for getting closer without having so narrow a FOV as to make keeping the subject in frame difficult to impossible. But, it wouldn't hurt to try and doing so would permit a further standoff distance which could be beneficial. Generally the multiplier between FF 35mm and M43 is 2.0 so a 45mm would be about equal to 90mm on a FF 35mm. There are difference in aspect ratio with M43 being 4:3 for stills while a FF 35mm is 3:2. When shooting video that changes for both.

Interesting... same response i got on another thread 25mm seems like the way to go.

These are the kind of shots we are going for

How is everyone getting on with the 35-100mm

I have been thinking of ordering one for roof inspection work, camera down facing full zoom only so as not to stress the gimbal motors what does everybody think ( my 14-42mm is ok but i want more zoom when doing inspection work )

*Micro four thirds sensor means it's a 2x crop factor (45mm = 90mm equivalent)

17mm is 34mm and 45mm is 90mm

With the zoom lenses do they zoom with the app? or do you need to set the zoom on the ground? or do you need the followfocus aparatus set on the zoom ring? looking to get the x5 but will just get it without the dji glass and add my own lenses.

thanks!

Has anyone attempted the Olympus 9mm Fisheye Body Cap lens on the X5? For $85, seems ideal. Maybe glue a couple balance rings on the front? Or the Rokinon 7.5mm f/3.5 Fisheye? I know the Panasonic 8mm works but $640 is sorta steep for a novelty lens.

You can zoom remotely via the app. Its probably worth noting that it zooms in increments which makes the zoom seem jerky rather than a smooth zoom which isnt ideal for filming but great for inspections etc.

These are lenses i am using and have tried to use my findings so far are:-

Using a dji focus to adjust aperture and focus ( essential for close in zoom work ) while wearing cinemizers on tip of my nose
my clients watch with pair of cinemizers with the shade and can control camera

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm works perfectly with balance ring
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 to heavy at 190g plus the extra balance weights total 320g motors fail after couple of second
Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 45-175mm/F4.0-5.6 to heavy at 210g plus the extra balance weights total 320g motors fail after couple of second
I have tested the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/4.0-5.6 Asph Mega O.I.S and with weights at full zoom (see pictures ) works perfectly so far i use it for roof inspections facing down no problems yet it does not over stress or overheat the motors, and i have extended inspire legs to allow landing with camera pointing down
My next lens to try is a Olympus M.Zuiko ET-M4518 45mm f/1.8 AF

Anyone have some sample images with the 45 or the 14-42 at full zoom, to see the difference between it and the standard lens for the x5?

I can report that the Panasonic Lumix 25mm f1.7 lens does work with the DJI X5. Has a pretty fast autofocus (for the X5) and seems to lock in pretty well. Haven't had a chance to really push it yet to see what it can do, but for less than $150.00 bucks (on Ebay) it was hard to pass up.

Great news. Can you shoot in RAW with this lens and open the files? I have the 35-100 and although I can shoot with it I can't open the RAW files it creates.

Thanks, Donnie.

It's on a lot of the lists, but has anyone used a Pansonic f1.7 42.5mm for photo and video?

Yes It's by far my favorite and I'll reiterate that it's the f1.7 42.5 not the f1.2 42.5 as although they're arguably both a couple of the best mft lenses there are only the f1.7 is light enough to mount to the X5. Go for it you'll love it!

Thanks. Looking forward to trying it out.

Chnjab, can you take still with the Panasonic LUMIX G 42.5mm f/1.7 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. I can take stills but I can usually not open the DNG files from it? 1 in 10 times it works. I have tried to put on the lens different ways. Calibrated lens. Start in AF/manual focus start in A, S & M mode and can't find out why it sometimes works...?

Can you please ta one stills if you haven't tried and try to open them in Photoshop camera RAW

I have the latest firmware for PS & Camera RAW + latest firmware for the X5

I got the same problem with the Panasonic 25mm f1.7 to. Adobe needs to fix this issue! Since both lenses works in other raw converters. And JPG's are fine to.

PROMBLEM SOLVED!

It is finally resolved trough a program for mac called opcode remover

Link: http://www.bitstorm.de/OPCODE_Remover.zip

Only use this program at your own risk and please do it on copys of the original files in case they get damaged.

It worked form me. Now I can use two great Panasonic lenses (optically better than similar Olympus lenses) and my new Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN ART

Now I'm a happy photographer!

kind regards // Alex
