I hope that’s not the case - I mean somehow Pentax is still kicking around, (thanks to the Ricoh GR 😅).

Same here, I've always been super happy with the build quality of every Lumix camera I've ever owned. I am starting to wonder about the GH6 screen and if there is some sort of defect with it because I've seen several other people on various forums mention the same issues I had, and my second body gave me a scare just the other day when the image on the LCD was shifted slightly to the left (back to normal now....) This is exactly how my problems started on my first body and eventually the image wouldn't flip itself to the correct orientation, it would be shifted off center and would flicker every now and then before completely dying. The only thing I could think of at the time was having the camera in some light rain, maybe somehow the weather sealing for the whole screen mechanism isn't great?.. Who knows.

I had the LPS Red service included with my GH6 when I bought it new, and unfortunately had to use it the next year when my camera screen started glitching out and eventually died. Other than the fast turnaround it was a huge headache and the communication from Lumix Pro Services was terrible. I had to pay out of pocket for shipping both ways, an inspection fee, and then parts and labor. The third party repair facility was great, but there was a glitch in the LPS system showing on their end that my camera wasn't registered even though I had proof on my end. I could never communicate with anyone at LPS efficiently and the email tag back and forth was incredibly slow and nothing was ever resolved and did not get the said warranty coverage. Maybe I'm the only one that has had this issue with them, but then again maybe this is why it's going away.

I was shooting 4k 120fps on my Lumix GH6 today and ran into a weird issue I've never encountered before and I have owned the camera since it was first released. I shot about 15 clips with no issue before this problem occurred and then all of a sudden when I pressed record I was met with a wall of pulsating pixels in the viewfinder (see photo grab below). I stopped and started recording again and had no more issues for the rest of the day (30-40 more clips taken in various frame rates/codecs: 4k 120 4:2:0, 4k 60 4:2:2 long gop, 4k 60 4:2:2 All-I 600mbps). Camera setup: Lumix GH6, Leica APO-Telyt-R 180mm f3.4, Metabones smart adapter, Tilta NP-F battery plate w/ NP-F 770 (charging camera via usb-c) Curious if anyone has any thoughts on what could have caused this or if you've encountered it yourself.

Has anyone ever experimented using an anamorphic adapter like Sirui 1.25x on a 200mm or longer telephoto lens? The specs shows the Sirui adapter working up to 135mm in M4/3 format and I'm curious if there would there be negative effects going longer, or do they just say up to 135mm because it would be less common to use on a longer telephoto lens? Just curious what all of your thoughts are on this type of setup and if it would work or not - I would be using a GH6 with PL 200mm f2.8. Thanks! -J
