Loving this camera and lens.
Hi, do you guys think I could achieve the same look with a 40 mm f2 instead?
Spent the weekend at the river in the Panhandle. These were shot on my S9 with the 20-60mm and 40mm.
Ordered from B&H on July 25th when it was back ordered. Got an email this past Sunday saying they didn’t know when it would be restocked or shipped. Got another email Monday saying it was shipped and arrived at my door today. Gotta love B&H.
Is there any value? I am also concerned that the activation code can’t be moved to another camera in case of an upgrade, it is locked to the first installation, what are your thoughts, thanks

Realtime LUT: The Cinema.
Some samples of clichés took in Paris. I edited the clichés on Lightroom android. So no Lumix LUT here. 😅
The Lumix 28-200 mm is not the sharpest lens but it is very versatile.
Compared the TTArtisan 40mm f/2, the SG-Image 35mm f/2.2 & the Viltrox 28mm f/4.5 on my S9 to see which is the best all-round "pancake"-ish prime without going over 200 EUR.
tldr: my vote goes to the TTArtisan as it checks more boxes in my opinion, though it's the least pancake-like of the trio.
Just come to the end of my first week with the S9 and 40mm F2, don't be like me and put off buying this camera and compromising with cheaper ones, this is the perfect parent camera. I have gotten so many awesome photos of my kids this last week, I got two under 3 years old (obviously I've posted a photo of the dog instead) absolutely zero editing thanks to the incredible LUT community (shout out to Ross!!!, you Northern Irish legend!)
So I'm a wedding photographer and content creator for another big corporation and I use two Lumix S5ii and a range of great lenses. I use to be a Fuji user (XT5) and I would use my XT5 for both personal and for work, I got a bit frustrated with the AF getting worse after updates and swapped them in for a great deal on the S5ii.
While the S5ii has been an amazing work tool, I have never bonded with it outside of work, it's just too cumbersome to bring with me and it's never given me great joy to use. Hence I always left it at home and used my phone to document my kids.
I liked the look of the S9 at launch but it's price and the fact it had 0 small lenses just left me disappointed.
For a much cheaper price I purchased a Lumix Gx80 (GX85) with the 20mm f1.7, a great small combo, while the camera was very slow to use, bad AF and kinda useless postage stamps size EVF i can't deny the photos it could make were very nice, but again, once the novelty wore off I would take photos but never take them off the SD card to edit.
Because at any given time I have around 10k photos and videos to edit for work, having to edit my personal photos just becomes such a massive mental block, it always feels like I'm encroaching on my work life balance.
I checked out of the Lumix world for a while until I saw an ad for a bundle of the S9 and 40 F2... Wow two years have passed they have my favourite focal length fast prime and it's small!!! And now the S9 is only £799 instead of £1200.
I jumped on it and I absolutely love this camera, I'm treating this thing like a fixed lens camera, that 40f2 is never leaving the body, I purchased a Variable ND and 1/4 black mist filter that also lives on it, so I can get videos with no messing around, the filter has a small colour shift to gold/orange and honestly even though it's technically bad... I really dig the look!
I have my S9 set up with all my custom modes for JPG and MP4 lite shooting and LUTs loaded into my photo style. Taking photos and videos I don't need to edit and transferring all my images and videos for the day in 5 minutes, no more editing , just being more present with my children.
It's a flawed camera everyone knows it, but at the same time it's also an absolute perfect secondary camera to compliment your work kit.
I’ve been working on a big Lumix S9 Look Lab project and wanted to share it with the community. The current pack has 89 LUTs, including real 35mm film-inspired looks, cinema stocks, black-and-white, infrared/experimental looks, Fujifilm-style recipes, a complete 17-look Leica pack, and V-Log Alchemy conversions. I’ve been researching color science, film response, Leica/Fujifilm rendering, Panasonic Photo Styles, grain, WB, contrast, sharpening, and other S9 settings to make these feel more like complete camera looks instead of just random color presets.
Every LUT in the pack is compatible with the Lumix Lab app, and most include recommended Photo Style/settings so you can get closer to the intended look on the S9. Everything is free, and the ZIP also includes credits, sources, research notes, and setup guides. I’d love for people to test them, post results, and give feedback so I can keep improving the pack.

I liked these recent photos with my 50mm 1.8

Hello all, been reading up on EF to L mount adapters and everyone seems to recommend the Sigma and Viltrox ones, however they’re both around $200 and still seem to have a host of compatibility or quality control issues! Are there any more reasonably priced options around $100 or lower that function with autofocus?
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Panasonic Lumix S5 and noticed a strange issue when shooting photos with a TTArtisan AF 75mm F2 (L-Mount).
I was getting visible concentric circular ring artifacts in my photos, especially in evenly lit areas. At first I suspected a sensor or lens defect.
What I found during testing:
The issue does not appear in video mode.
The issue does not appear in S&Q video mode.
Camera firmware: Body v2.8
Lens firmware: v1.2
No filters attached.
After troubleshooting, I discovered that turning Vignetting Compensation OFF completely removes the artifacts in the normal photo modes (P/A/S/M).
However, the issue still appears when using:
iA (Intelligent Auto)
C1
C2
C3
I'm guessing those custom modes may still be using saved settings or lens corrections, but I'm not completely sure.
Has anyone experienced this with:
TTArtisan AF 75mm F2
Other TTArtisan AF lenses
Lumix S5 / S5II bodies
Is this a known compatibility issue between Panasonic lens corrections and third-party L-Mount lenses?
I've attached sample images showing the artifacts. The photos become completely clean after disabling Vignetting Compensation in the standard photo modes.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Hey all. I just sold my S5II to get the S9. I have not purchased the S9 yet, However, I am now wondering if there is something better in terms of compact everyday camera. The S9 fits the bill size wise and I can keep all of my lenses BUT the no evf and having to change the shutter speed/F-stop in the menu, doesn't seem great. I think I can deal with no flash.
Anybody switch over to the Lumix S9 from the S5II and love it? Hate it? Work arounds, or did you go with a different camera?
TIA!
