Welcome to /r/Lumix, the place for every Panasonic enjoyer.

Please have a look at the sidebar (desktop) or the "About" section (mobile web) or "See more" under the subreddit description (mobile application). Or just use this wiki page, which is identical.

This contains many resource and a few basic rules and guidelines. To highlight some things, please keep in mind:

  • Absolutely no affiliate links on /r/Lumix as these tend to result in a swift ban. For this reason, shortened URLs, or pointlessly long links that could hide affiliate tags in them (see link guidelines for details) are also not allowed. Be wary of "share" features on Amazon, etc. - they shorten your URLs! These can hide affiliate tags without you knowing. Please do not sell anything in /r/lumix either (LUTs, gear, and so on). This is a community subreddit, not a place for business.

  • Make post titles as if there was no post body. They should give all context whilst being short (i.e. not a whole paragraph), effective. In other words, include the relevant camera/lens in the post title whenever possible and use descriptive titles - meaning all the context should be in the post title (see title guidelines for details). For example - asking about lens options? The title should mention what do you intend to shoot then (as well as what you shot with in case of original content). Photo/video/hybrid? Weddings, documentary, landscape, wildlife, etc. If your post's title is for example only "S5ii vs G9ii" as opposed to "S5ii or G9ii for landscape photography", it'll probably get removed and you'll be asked to repost with a better title.

The latter may sound like a pointless nuisance, but it requires minuscule effort and everyone gets better experience when it comes to reading, searching, and archiving the subreddit. Keep in mind that your posts are not only for you, but also for everyone who might have the same problem/question.

Please do keep in mind this post doesn't cover all of the rules, few as they are. For the full rules, please see them in the usual places or visit this wiki article.

If your post gets "removed by Reddit filters", it means that moderators need to manually approve it. Making repeated attempts probably only makes your accounts karma worse, so please be patient and wait for a moderator to approve it. This isn't our job, so it can take anything from seconds to hours.

Your friendly janitors thank you!

Show and Tell Arctic Color - Lumix S5ii & Sigma 28mm f/2.8 in Norway

• Upvotes

Shots from our family vacation in Finnmark, Norway. We spent a week in Havøysund. We went for many trips around the area. We saw the midnight sun. We went on "Hurtigruten" up to Honningsvåg and saw the most northern point, The North Cape (Nordkapp). It felt like everywhere I pointed the camera was a scene worth capturing.

Gear used:
Camera: Panasonic Lumix S5II
Lens: Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8

I shot in 6k open gate, V-log.
Color graded with Lumetri Color in Premiere and film emulation with Dehancer.
All audio is from Uppbeat.

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.

General / Discussion Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 R or Lumix G Vario 45-150mm f/4.0-5.6 - which one should I get as beginner Lumix GX80 user?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I'm having a hard time choosing right telephoto lens for my Lumix GX80.

I've found two good deals (I think):
- Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 R - brand new, unused and comes with a box and both lens caps - costs 91€ or around 102$

- Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-150mm f/4.0-5.6 - used but for few events only, comes with KnightX closeup +10 52mm, Fld 52mm, UV 52mm, Cpl 52mm and Polaroid multi-coated UV 52mm lens mounted from the start, only rear cap is included - costs 118€ or around 132$

I am well aware I'm not getting something amazing out of them as I'm beginner in photography, plus budget wise I wouldn't spend a lot on lenses for now, but I'm seeing this as a great deal to have some telephoto lens to use, so I'm grateful for any piece of advice here. Thanks!

L-Mount Why does the S5IIX support USB-SSD recording but not the S5II or S9?

5 Upvotes

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......😉

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.

L-Mount Lumix S1 II Video Setup: Samyang 14–24mm f/2.8 and Telephoto Recommendations

6 Upvotes

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! :)

Micro Four Thirds PanaLeica 15mm 1.7 Hood alternative

2 Upvotes

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!!

L-Mount Planning 1y Roadtrip. What would be a good small lens kit for social media content?

1 Upvotes

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.

General / Discussion Size isn't everything

1 Upvotes

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?

L-Mount Testing Zeiss and Leica M mount glass on the S9

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

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).
