I just had some GH5 5k video (open gate) stills published in a couple books. Was shocked they printed up so well. Everyone was happy with the images but I was super nervous. Amazing what the general public is OK with while us nerds get in fights online over camera functions LOL.

Coming from years with the trusty GH5 and GH5s combo, I'm missing my Metabones Speed Booster options and want to start playing around on cheap Lumix S cameras now that the prices are dropping like crazy. 4k/60p and Super 35 modes with the speed boosters and my various vintage glass sounds like a fun project. Questions; 1. What ever happened to the Metabones Speed Boosters for L-Mount? There are product pages buried on the site but did they ever actually go into production? Mandela effect? https://www.metabones.com/products/details/MB_SPNFG-L-BM1 2. I read something about some of the flange/clearance distance not working and hitting the shutter? If so, does the S9 now offer the option for a Speed Booster in S35 mode or is it still too compact to allow for the optics? Sigma FP is OK because of no mechanical shutter? https://kipon.com/product/ef-l-af-0-7/ https://laowacine.com/product/0-7x-focal-reducer-for-probe-lens/ With the new batch of Mark ii Lumix S camera's I'm hoping cropped 4k/60p will be a thing of the past but since I will be scooping up used first gen models for cheap B and C cameras, I would like some options for adapting/boosting my vintage glass.

What about uncropped 4k/60p? Internal ND?

Anyone saying this camera is underwhelming is hilarious to me. I just sold my 6 year old GX85 for $750 last week and this upgrade to FF for my little street photo/C camera is amazing. For really close to the same form factor I get new PD autofocus, full frame, 4k/60, open gate, VLOG, audio input…. AND ANAMORPHIC….!!! I understand that this might not be the camera for you but there’s no way this thing is anything but amazing for its size, features and price. I have an S1H for A cam doc/travel work and then an S5iix for B-Cam/gimbal. This S9 will live in my bag as a a back up, quick grab camera for unexpected shots or minimal low key stuff. Great action cam, mounted for interior car shots or just pocketable street stuff. To me this camera is a great sign that the tech from the older S-series cameras is making it’s way to a camera like this and that means the newer cameras coming soon will have some great new features. O crop (4k/60) looks like they’re trying to go after the Fuji X100V crowd with the custom LUTs etc… OK, not sure about the marketing and yes, always late to the party but what a fun party it is.
