With Leica, Panasonic and Sigma all released their L-mount camera after the L-mount alliance was formed last year, I thought it’s a good time to get all the L-mount cameras together and see how well do they work with the lenses from another brand. Here is a quick video to show you my results.

Camera Conspiracies:

Panasonic s1h is probably the best full frame camera for video, but it has some serious flaws that kept me from buying it. Are they deal breakers for you?

Here is a recent shoot I did with the #LumixS1H with Atlas Orion anamorphic lenses.
Recorded on the #AtomosNinjaV #8Sinn. This is literally my second anamorphic shoot ever. The first time was 40 minutes hands-on with some vintage Kowa lenses. Not always easy to pull focus especially at T 2 😉

25mm vs 50mm Standard lens Battle
This is a simple comparison between two standard lenses, the Leica DG Summilux 25mm F1.4 and Lumix S Pro 50mm F1.4. Similar lenses with the same maximum aperture of f/1.4, but for different systems. Which lens makes more pleasing photos?

Photographylife tested the Panasonic S1R

In many ways, it’s the best full-frame mirrorless camera you can get at the moment. It has more features than even the Sony A7R IV – and higher resolution than anything from Nikon or Canon.

Yet – I can’t recommend it, unless you really know what you’re getting into. The price, weight, and lack of lightweight or inexpensive lenses really make this a specialized camera system, not something I think most photographers should have at the top of their list.

I do love the thought that Panasonic put into the S1R, and I’m excited about their full-frame mirrorless system overall. If they trim down the price and fill out the lens lineup, I think enough people would look past the S1R’s weight and size (or even see it as a positive) and get this camera in a heartbeat.

But we’re not there yet. If you like the look of the S1R based on what I’ve said, I recommend instead that you get the standard Panasonic S1. It has almost exactly the same feature set, build quality, and everything else, but it sells for a more palatable $2500 (body only). If you’re good with 24 megapixels – plus a 96 megapixel high resolution mode – that’s the much more reasonable buy.
