Re: Which lenses for GH4, and other questions? (Low - medium budget)
My first choice would be the 12-35 2.8. The GH4 body is well balanced and the 12-35 feels great when mounted on it. Of course, the obvious choice for a medium reach telephoto is the 35-100 2.8. Both lenses are weather sealed and they both have OIS built-in. The Panasonic/Leica 25 1.4 M4/3 lens is outstanding for the "normal" range. You have some favorite Nikon lenses, but when you add the converter to those lenses, you will have a 'manual' lens. Do you want to focus manually full time? The auto focus on the GH4 is very fast and accurate. Maybe save up the cash for the three lenses that I have suggested and DO get the GH4. Waiting for the next body to be released can be a long and frustrating experience.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
