Calm Street Photography with my Lumix S5 II x
There is one genre of photography I never liked to shoot on my Lumix S5 II x and that was Street Photography. It's just a bit of a big camera for it and I always preferred other cameras for street because all my autofocus lenses for the Lumix simply felt too big. I finally found a lens that solves the problem though: The TTArtisan 40mm f/2. In this video I test the lens thoroughly for the genre.
