Zach Mayfield made an “experiment” to see how the S9 is good enough to shoot anamorphic.

Lumix wildlife photographer essentially giving Lumix a momentum to do something with their high end, high resolution ecosystem for wildlife, which has been stuck since the S1R launch since 2019. This echoes the feeling of other people in the echosystem, who bought into high end high MP Lumix and left on a lonely island since, and without a single Lumix S lens above 300mm too.

So you agree with his reasoning?

Matthew Dangyou tested this unique TTArtisan 11mm lens (here on Amazon).

Lumix S9 price dropped down to $1397 at Amazon and BHphoto. You pay only $100 more to get it with the 20-60mm lens.

Dpreview published their take on the S9:

The S9 is a capable video camera for creators who want the look and image quality of a full-frame camera. Its ergonomics and lack of photography essentials like an EVF and mechanical shutter don’t make it ideal for stills, but we’re impressed by the well-thought-out video-to-phone-to-social-media workflow.

Loving the LUMIX S9 so far. Here’s my thoughts coming from a lifetime (or what seems like it) of using the Fujifilm GFX and Fujifilm X systems.

For fun, I wanted to test out my grandpa’s old Minolta 50mm f1.4 vintage lens on the Panasonic LUMIX S9. And don’t forget you can shoot with a vintage or retro Realtime LUT as well. I wasn’t totally sure what I was gonna get with this combo- let me know what you think in the comments.
