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:

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.

Do you have a story where dual card saved your shoot?

There's been plenty of close misses and touch and goes where the second slot has saved the day. Especially in the early days of CF cards but there's also been times where even dual cards haven't saved me Lost an entire shoot on dual cards on location because my S5iix killed (and bricked) both Samsun

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

Having Trouble Choosing Between the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8, Rokinon 35-150mm f/2-2.8, and the Lumix 70-200mm f/4

I had the S Pro 70-200mm f/4, at the time at Panasonic it was $999.00. I also used the mailing list coupon for extra 10% off $900.00 in the door, I hated returning it. with the S5iiX it was just too have for me.
