Smallest L mount AF lenses (AMA)

(Shot on Lumix S5m2x) You'll have to stop down to f8 for the vignette to be acceptable. I'm using the 40mm for street/daily photography only so it's not much of an issue for me (for now). edit : this is with vignette correction on.

Godox iT32 compatibility with Lumix Fullframe?

The Panasonic L-mount "S" series bodies all use the same four-thirds flash hotshoe that Olympus/Panasonic four-thirds SLRs and micro four-thirds mirrorless do. However, there have been reports with some of the S bodies that Godox flashes don't always work that well with them, introducing lag: https:

Genuinely impressed with my om5ii Vs a7iii photos.

The next line is Editing always plays a factor, but when I compare my S5IIX to my ZR, ZF, or Z6III... hands down nikon looks better. so they swapped from another full-frame camera, nothing to do with m43. Just happened to be Panasonic.

What flash to get, for outdoor portraits? (S5ii)

Be aware, there's apparently a shutter lag issue with the S5II and Godox gear (in TTL). https://www.reddit.com/r/Lumix/comments/1egjpzb/godox_and_s5iix_is_a_bad_pairing/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Lumix/comments/1l6bog3/s1riis1ii_users_is_there_a_lag_when_using_flash/ It doesn't sound like it's an issue for portrai

Prores raw Update

BM most likely put ProRes Raw in only the Pocket 4K because it was a very old camera and they were satisfying some contract they have with Apple. Look like a business tactic, rather than them earnestly wanted to provide new features. With the S5IIX, I doubt they’re going to add internal raw (or to U

Nikon Z6 iii vs Nikon ZR vs panasonic S1 ii for travel videos?

Having used an s9 and S5iix for over a year and having switched now to a Nikon setup with ZR/Z8/ZF I can only say I am more happy with current gear BUT for your needs, an S9 it’s the best bang for the bucks you can have. Yes, crop on 4k60 it’s a pain in the arse but noting that will make you rip you

Flash for outdoor events: where should I start?

Godox and the Panasonic L-mount bodies may not be a great choice, like it is for everybody else: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lumix/comments/1egjpzb/godox_and_s5iix_is_a_bad_pairing/ There's apparently a lag on firing, and issues with TTL accuracy, as well as banding issues with HSS. Godox might work if you'r

Seeking MFT lenses with "Full Frame Look," reliable AF, and minimal focus breathing

I'll tell you why I want to switch, maybe you can understand me then.I want 4K 48-60 FPS recording for video with good AF and IBIS that doesn't overheat and doesn't break the bank. The problem: the S5IIx has a crop, and even when I record in 1080, the good AF is gone (the S9 have it!?). The A7IV ove

Tired of Canon and their BS. Why shouldn't I switch to Lumix?

I built my career on Canon for photography, then added Blackmagic for video, then sold everything and went all in Lumix. You will probably miss the C70 as Panasonic doesn't have an answer for it. On all the rest I agree with you, I was tired of the bullshit. On S5M2X and S1 II, I have only two probl

I like how so many people complain about overheating on the s1ii but they forgot almost every sony until recently does this as well

I just get confused by the language some people use when trying to downplay the reality of the overheating. Even in our short exhange, you started at "doesn't really overheat" and immediately went to "it obviously overheats quicker than my S5IIX." It's a bit of whiplash, and I don't think downplayin
