Great Video :) and great shots mate :) I love that wide 65:24 ratio & I’m a big fan of Jeff Bridges Photography too!!! I actually did an assessment on him as part of my photography diploma :) widest I can go on my m43 lumix cameras is 16:9 that I enjoy a lot too… I am planning to get the s5mkii x myself soon - so I’ll certainly experiment with that feature a lot :) Thanks again & great video :)

😂 I like the last two words.. I agree is not all about the gear.. I watched and followed your YT because Im planning to buy new handy camera.

XT1 x 35mm f/1.4 is the greatest combo of all time 👍

Liked the S9 for its size and all those "Lumix Goodied," however I am forced to conclude its not for me, sense it comes without viewfinder and hot shoe. Your images are cool in this video and threads. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation.

I sold a canon rp to buy a fuji x-t30ii because of the colours the camera can produce without editing (jpg’s) i was considering the x-t50 but im not a fan of the film sim dial i prefer the dials as they were. As far as sensors go the crop sensor on my camera is no where near as good as the full frame sensor of my old canon, as someone mentioned in the comments bigger sensor more light

No viewfinder and no hot shoe is a deal-breaker for me, I need at least one of those.

...I have the -III and it excels at everything I ask it to do...bingo !!!

I don’t know any Leica camera that has the X-pan format in it. For sure not the Leica SL-2S. Which one are you referring to?

I had a D-LUX 8 too, but just for less than two months. Then I returned it to the dealer, because of some of the issues, you mentioned. I got full refund, no trouble here and bought in November a brand new SL2s for just under €2,800 or 21,000 DKK. Best buy ever and a superb supplement to my M240 and M240P. Thanks for sharing and keep on rolling!

but then the auto focus with 65x24 goes back to contrast only, such a shame!

i heard the RX line was discontinued, so I picked up an RX100VII before they're sold out

inherited this from my dad after he passed. I don’t care if it’s not an M or Q, it still makes me want to take it everywhere just in case and reignited my interest in shooting photos. pair that with the Fotos app and everything just works

‍🔥‍🔥‍🔥‍🔥Summary.‍🔥‍🔥‍🔥‍🔥 #### Overview - The video focused on the speaker's experiences with digital x-panning photography using the Lumix S9 camera during a trip to London. - Emphasis was placed on the unique and fulfilling photography experience rather than technical aspects of the camera. #### Key Points Discussed 1. **Introduction to Digital X-Panning** - Definition of x-panning: a wide aspect ratio of 65 by 24. - The speaker's motivation for exploring x-panning was influenced by Jeff Bridges, a Hollywood actor known for his photography. 2. **Camera Selection Process** - Initial interest in x-pan cameras, but challenges with cost and maintenance led to exploring digital alternatives. - Comparison of various cameras: - Hasselblad: Too expensive and bulky. - Leica: High cost for limited benefits. - Lumix S9: Chosen for its aspect ratio and affordability. 3. **Photography Experience in London** - The speaker noted a different composition experience with the Lumix S9, which lacks a viewfinder. - Enjoyed the wider framing and the learning curve associated with it. - Mentioned the challenge of switching back to standard aspect ratios after using the wide format.

⁠ Im really worried, I’m still using my 2011 X10 and while it is quirky it’s still the best tactile experience like the old film cameras. I want to upgrade but the twisty flippy screens, or lack of EVF and no pop up flash!! on the latest models worries me. I really want the film simulations of the newer models but at what expense for such a higher price??? I have no idea which camera to get to use with primes?

Awesome info...I've been eyeing an s9 to compliment my S5ii. Will this aspect ratio apply to video footage shot on the body as well?

Bro says bulky (me with my Canon eos 60d)

2:13 Its 11 mins if you put a stronger SD Card in. Perfect time for Vloging but not for anyone else and this hm... it ment to be for vlogers so second point also refuted

You did that video 4 Years ago and you talkedion your first Point like 4k was absolut standard but it wasnt and it mostly isnt today so first Point: refuted

Historically with the D-LUX since the "100" series, .. there is a blue cast to the photos, and apparently this is continuing. As for me, if this Panisonic -Leica would add a tilt screen i would not care about the blue-tinted photos, as even the Q-series has a green tint.

Video on this camera works very well. I had no time to set it up properly but did manage to capture this video...ua-cam.com/video/-2Bi0n4IUl0/v-deo.html

Great Video

Ive got the 25mm f1.7, was very cheap. The 20mm was more expensive. I'm using it mostly for video (GX9 - see my channel). I have the 14mm-140 original lens but its a bit bulky for this camera. I'm torn between now buying either the 14-45mm pancake or the 2nd edition of the 14mm-140mm which is much smaller than original one I have. Great video

I can’t get enough of this lens. The TTArtisan 50mm f1.2 is crazy sharp in the center, and that f1.2 aperture is perfect for low light.

I really wanted to love the D-LUX 8 as I'm looking for am upgrade to my old Ricoh GR. Sadly the 8 isn't looking a likely contender. Such a shame.

What is the grip you have on it?

XT1 is my favorite camera. Love it.

No Flippy screen as well? Pass

I have had my CL since 2019 and have yet to find a camera to replace it with. The images are astonishing. One of the reasons is that when paired with a Tl lens those lenses will resolve to the same resolution as a full frame M10 on the smaller APSC sensor. If you can get a TL lens, then do. The zoom is okay but not in the same league as the other TL lenses. Not selling it anytime soon :)

The Leica Q series is ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST CAMERAS EVER! I agree the Video feature is NOT necessary at all, i have NEVER EVEN used It on my Q3! I wish LEICA would do away with that feature and drop the price say 500-1,000 USD. Thank You for this video.

I know it’s a little pricey, but if you can afford it, it’s definitely worth it!! Just got my hands on a used Leica Q and I take back every negative comment I ever made about Leica cameras before owning one myself😅😂🫶🏿

Love the I-series lenses. I have the 20, 24, 35, and 65mm f2 variants for my Sony A7Cii. Sold the 90mm to try out their 105mm macro.

Couldn’t agree more!

Sigma Fp and Fp L has this mode aswell and is even a smaller camera body.

I had a xpan but sold it off years ago. Been chasing a digital version ever since. It's just too difficult, even with full frame pov and then crop it post, it just don't quite replicate it. The other option is to use anamorphic lens but that's quite a lot bulkier and just not the same anymore.

I think our School end of year photos were this format

Just don’t understand why you need an s9, just to avoid post processing? ( post crop) Great pictures!

Respectfully, I have multiple Leica cameras, and I have never once had to take my battery out to restart a camera for any reason period. I have also never had an issue with a single camera waking up from sleep mode. I respect your experiences, I’ve just never had any of them and I shoot with a Leica daily. I own about a dozen cameras that I would use to produce more serious photos, but they are bigger and heavier, so I would never keep them on me daily. I have smaller mirrorless Canon cameras, and they are not nearly as portable as the Leica D Lux series. I believe the issue is having unrealistic expectations for the cameras you own, regardless of which camera it is. My smaller Leicas have been extremely impactful for me because they help me slow down to find the beauty in the everyday world around me. Since I have a camera on me daily, which has fully manual features that make photography much more rewarding than taking a picture with a phone, I want to spend more time taking photos. As a result, I pace myself, and I’m more intentional about capturing the beauty in the world every single day. I run a national business, which has its weight to it. The cameras have been a blessing and removed a lot of that weight, while also helping me create lifelong memories in the most beautiful way possible.

As a street photographer, turning on the camera and taking three or four seconds to set is a joke! Most the time you’ll miss the shot. Next camera!

Street and travel? As a 75mm (practically) manual lens, I would consider this one completely inappropriate for both. You will lose A LOT of shots.

Your review made me realize that I do not use use as many features as there are available on my camera. It literally made me tear up that I forgot about the aspect ratio past 3:2 and 4:3. Thank you 🙏.

Cant you just use gaffers tape on the screen to get the ratio and crop in post instead of spending a lot on a camera that doesn't even have a viewfinder

I like pan. Works well with landscape.

Very cool experiment with the aspect ratio restriction. I can imagine how using an ultra wide angle with that aspect ratio (like the 30mm and 40mm lenses on the original film XPan, giving ultra wide angles of view dude to the frame size) would be an art of constant "hit or miss" in and of itself :D

I bought s5 for same reason

2 yrs ago I bought my Xpan, the experience and photos I have gotten out of it have been nothing short of amazing. I will keep it forever and if it breaks I will get it repaired or buy another one. I love the panoramic aspect ratio and and enjoy the challage it gives me to get a photo right. I do also have the Panasonic S9 and think it is fantastic camera. I have yet to try the wide Xpan ratio on it though but will be trying it soon. For digital Xpan I have been using my Sony A7RV 60mp with a Zeiss Batis 18mm and the results have been perfect. I just setup the grid lines on it to conform with the 65:24 format and have been very satisfied with my results.

And I see Sigma 18-50 F2.8 on your list of lenses, how that works with S9 ? I’ve same lens in Fuji XH2 and love the size

How will this be different from Anamorphic lens ?

Subscribed!! Ty going to do that now with my lumix s9

I got a used GFX 50R from my local photography shop around 2020 ish. One of the reasons was because I was interested in xpan, but the risk of something going wrong and the difficulty of getting them repaired, and the inconvenience of film (vs digital) put me off. So I sought out a digital equivalent and landed at the 50R. I have a selection of cameras, and I find the 50R to be the one I enjoy the most. I don’t really under stand why this is though.

I don't understand why a 22mm is "read" as a 27? Does this happen only in the 65:24 crop mode?
