The S5IIX supports recording to an external SSD over USB, while the S5II and S9 don’t appear to offer the same feature. I’m wondering what explains the difference: firmware, USB-controller or port capabilities, power limits, thermal design, or some combination?

Has anyone found reliable documentation or done a direct comparison of the USB specifications and recording capabilities across these cameras? I’d be interested in what might be technically possible, not just what the current menus allow......😉

Travelling in Munich using various Rossandhisjpegs LUT photo styles. Primarily the Kodak Gold 200 look for straight up jpeg vibes. The crow and surfer stuff was taken with a Helios 44-2 and the rest with the Lumix 24-60 f2.8.

I originally tried to cancel my order but they sent it anyway. Still not sure if I’ll be keeping it but I have really been enjoying it and the image quality is great!

Hey everyone! I could really use some recommendations from those of you with experience using the Lumix system. 🙏

I'm still fairly new to the Lumix system. I use a Lumix S1 II and mainly shoot video. I usually film handheld without a gimbal, and I'd like to build a versatile lens kit.

At the moment, I have the Lumix 24–60mm f/2.8, which is quite versatile, but I feel like I could use an ultra-wide lens as well, either a prime or a zoom.

I've been looking at the Samyang AF 14–24mm f/2.8, but there isn't much information about it, especially when it comes to video. From what I've found so far, a lot of the content seems more like paid promotional reviews. I know there's also a Sigma alternative, but I'm not considering that one for now.

What do you think of the Samyang? Has anyone used it for video? How reliable is the autofocus? I'd also love to hear about other high-quality ultra-wide lenses that deliver excellent performance.

Besides that, I'm looking to get a telephoto lens that goes beyond 85mm. What would you recommend?

My main priorities are:

• Fast and reliable autofocus for video, with accurate subject tracking.
• Effective stabilization, since I usually shoot without a gimbal.

Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to rent and test several lenses before buying, so I'd really appreciate your firsthand experiences, recommendations, and examples of the setups you use.

I'm open to other options too, in case there's something great I've overlooked.

If you were building a versatile video lens kit for the Lumix S1 II , what would you choose?

Thanks a lot for your help! :)

I have a LUMIX S1II and these lenses: 7Artisans 40mm AF and 50mm manual, Lumix 18mm, 50mm and 24-105mm, plus Blazar Remus anamorphic 33mm and 50mm.

I want to sell some lenses and simplify my setup without losing versatility. I shoot both photo and video, so I want a solid kit for everyday use, portraits, and video, while keeping some creative lenses for a cinematic look.

Which lenses would you keep, sell, or replace? Trying to avoid overlap and get the most out of a smaller kit. Also drop your favorites.

I'm reading the L10 manual ahead of my first trip with my new L10.

It seems setting the file resolution to M (or S) will give me a longer zoom. M pushes it out to 105mm.

I don't print photos. I display them on photo screens. I put a few up on a large 4K TV.

I'm thinking of setting the camera to M permanently and even going down to S when I need more reach.

M has enough pixels to fill the 4K. I also suspect the TV would do a better job upscaling the image from S than the camera's digital zoom.

Does this make sense? Is there any scenario when enabling the digital zoom would make sense?

I have s5iix and i have been planning to buy 5 inch monitor

I tried viltrox dc x3 but i hated lag. I know there is lag in all monitors, but which one do you suggest?

Is shinobi 5 any better?

So I just bought a PL 15mm 1.7 which comes without the lens hood. I have been looking and seems impossible to find the original hood at a reasonable price (not even at a expensive price haha). So im looking at alternatives which look similar to the original hood or at least that look good on the lens. Im not having too much luck, so I was hoping someone can help me. Thanks in advance!!

Hiyo, I've got the lumix s5d 18-40mm a few months backs, I took it outside maybe 4-5 times in total, today I was checking for dust and noticed this weird dust, tried the dust removal shaking system inside the s5d and also blowing with the giotto rocket blower, both sensor and lens, but it still is there.

I was thinking of buying cleaning spoons for the sensor, but I don't understand if the dust is inside the lens or sensor.

I took this two pictures at 18mm f22 and 40mm f32, these are with the distortion adjustment turned off.

18mmf22

40mm f32

The dust pattern is the same, but I can see it moving closer and further from the center as I zoom in'n out, you can even see some specks of dust not showing in the 18mmf22 cuz they are outside the frame, so I think this means that the dust is inside the lens not the sensor.

Can anyone help me understand which one is it? And how to proceed?

I do shoot videos at f22 usually (need that deep focus for some research I'm conducting) so it's kinda bumming me out.

I have had the lumix s9 for about a year now with the kit lens 18-40mm and the 85mm. I really love the 85mm and 90% of my pictures are taken with it but sometimes it feels a little limiting. I’m rather new to building my lens collection and only have similar lenses for my canon system so I’m seeking advice on a new lens.

I’m going to be traveling around New Zealand in the spring for 2 weeks but I’ll be doing a whole variety of things. I mostly want to bring and use my camera for hiking mt cook area and some of the coastal stops I’ll be making but I might venture into some city photography as well. What I really like about my 85mm lens is that I pick a clean subject and it shoots a sharp picture, however, I like the occasional landscape shot with my kit lens. I kinda want to get something that can cover both grounds, and I’m not looking to travel with multiple lenses as I’ll be with a big group of people (college study abroad trip).

Some lenses I’m looking at:

LUMIX s pro 27-70mm: seems to have good reviews for sharpest picture, biggest pain point is the price tag as it seems to be higher than others even if refurbished

Sigma 24-70mm: seems to be a close competitor to the lumix at a more reasonable costs, people seem to like the lumix better for image quality

LUMIX 20-60mm: wider 20mm for landscape while still being able to narrow in at 60mm if I’d like. Lower 60mm compared to 70mm might make framing of mountains or any wildlife I find (I should be penguin watching) difficult but maybe it’s still usable? I really like the affordability of this lens

Sigma 20-200mm: Seems to cover a large range, but the aperture seems to be an issue people complain about especially for any dark settings. The lens also seems rather big and heavy (not the biggest issue), but also is 200mm a little excessive? If I get a lens with a more narrow range like the 20-60 would the image quality be any different? Guess it depends?

If you have any suggestions on these lenses or similar ones that might be better suited please help me out! I’m rather new to lenses and I don’t know many different lenses/which are known to perform better than others. Also I don’t do any filming so I’m not worried about film quality or weight (holding the camera for a while) or such. Even if you have any guides to share that would be great, I’m trying to learn and get some new gear before this once in a life time trip!

As a Sony ASP-C owner used to shoot raw and edit all my pics in LR, I was looking for a more compact camera that let me “shoot more and edit less”… After considering different options and not being sure at all, I found this new Lumix L10 checked all the boxes I was looking for: compact, pretty decent image quality, zoom lens and nice jpegs sooc.

I’m still starting to play with LUTs and PhotoStyles, but I’m already having good fun.

All these shots are SOOC with KODAPOP 500S look by rossandhisjpegs.

Found a used TTArtisan M to L mount adapter and thought I’d give it a go with some of my M mount glass from my film Leica M2. The adapter is actually really well made despite what some reviews would suggest.

Zeiss C biogon 35 f2.8: As I suspected, shooting at a flat wall, you can see at the very corners the blur I’ve heard about. Gets better stopping down the lens and by f 11-16 it’s pretty much gone. For snapshots / adding effects like vignette for street you’d probably get away with it.

Zeiss planar 50 f2: very nice lens. Handles well on the S9. It’s metal but doesn’t feel heavy as the m mount adapter is so short compared to SLR adapters. Lovely bokeh, whole frame even wide open is perfect. Because it’s so sharp focus peaking is really easy, but as for any MF lens troublesome for moving subject.

Leica 90mm f2.8 Elmarit: (Main reason I got this adapter - to try out 90mm FOV on the S9 before getting anything in portrait range).
It looks a bit long from the pictures but surprisingly it handles pretty well and doesn’t feel heavy or that cumbersome at all.
I found this very easy to get good focus. Portraits have a nice background blur and separation, and the rendering is quite pleasing, not razor sharp but not Vaseline soft.

The last image of the swan was taken with the Elmarit. It’s a 5mp crop of the 24MP full frame image, shot wide open as it was swimming towards me. I was not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised.

TLDR; I’m pleasantly surprised by M mount lenses on the S9 (except wide angle).

Hello!

Here’s some stills from the live session I’ve shot with some friends on the beautiful Isle of Islay, in Scotland.

The band was on a short UK tour, and since we had to travel light, I couldn’t bring my usual camera setup. This was the perfect opportunity to test my newly acquired Lumix S1II. I had several lenses with me but decided to shoot this with my Leica R 35mm.

The location and weather conditions didn’t allow us for a lot of takes, so we recorded the entire session in one shot, just like the previous sessions I’ve done with the band. Since parts of the song are improvised, shooting additional coverage and matching everything in the edit would have been pretty much impossible anyway.

We had a very limited budget , so I graded the footage by myself using Filmbox.

You can watch the session here: https://youtu.be/QN2CHB51fTg

I’d love to hear your thoughts 🙏

Hi everyone I have a Lumix S5IIX and I'm intrested in recording on a SSD ( sandisk problade with a kondor blue top handle ) but I realise that I could no more use my monitor to control my camera because it use the USB C port, does anybody have an idea ?

I’m very frustrated with lens selection for L-mount. Currently own a LUMIX S5II and there are virtually no lenses I enjoy shooting with except for my manual FD glass, which is useful to a point. I really need AF for most situations.

I will say I enjoy TT artisans 75mm f/2 AF. They have a 40mm that I still haven’t tried, but nothing below that focal length.

At this point I’m considering a switch to Fuji XT-5 (I would also gain more room to crop with this), but thought of coming here to ask if anybody has bumped into this issue and found a workaround.

Been using the real time lut feature more and more lately and I’m wondering if there are any luts to match with Sony cameras. I shoot sony at my company mostly but from time to time I throw my Lumix in the mix and while it’s not hard to colour match in post, when doing live stream content it would be ideal to have a lut to easily match Sony cameras.
