Testing cheap Canon EF lenses on my Lumix
Are native L-mount lenses too expensive for your taste? Come along while I test some truly budget Canon EF autofocus options on my Lumix S5 IIx with a Viltrox EF to L mount adapter. I try out the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 and the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and show you the good, the bad and the annoying parts of adapting old EF lenses with slow motors.
