Tech reviews / Studio production (team)

Seen on the WAN Show set at the 13:09 mark of Gerald Undone's studio tour. The 18-35mm f/1.8 is a classic APS-C fast zoom used on their podcast / WAN Show camera rig — gives shallow depth of field with the flexibility of a zoom.

His everyday zoom for the talking-head shot, used on the GH5 via a Metabones Speed Booster.

An EF-mount zoom mounted on his Fujifilm body via the Fringer EF-FX PRO II adapter. Same lens Justin Brown (Primal Video) runs natively on his GH5 — adapting it onto Fuji gives him a constant f/1.8 zoom no native Fujinon lens matches at the price.
