LUMIX Live : The 100MM Macro

This week, we're excited to bring you the brand new LUMIX S 100mm F/2.8 Macro lens just announced at CES 2024! Sean took this new addition out into the field to stress it's use for a wide variety of subjects outside of the typical Macro types of photographs!
Lets take a walk around this new lens and check out some images captured with the S5IIX!
This stream is pre-recorded so we won't be live to take you're questions during the broadcast. However, please leave your questions in the comments after the premiere so we can address them in future streams!

I shoot a a good bit of macro with an S5iix and a Sigma 105mm lens and have this lens pre-ordered.
I would love if the camera had the facility to create a new folder for each focus bracketing sequence, similar to what can be done with timelapses.

[@guyprolly]

That focus bracketing example is extremely helpful. Wow. I do macro stacking almost exclusively in my studio and always I am losing 10% of the image and getting trailing pixels. Thank you.

@LumixUSA is there any chances that the Leica Monochrome picture profile from G9II will be added to S5II via firmware update?

[@sydneychuka4304]

Very glad that you brought up the 135mm focal length ... having seen how the 100mm Macro has been redefined by Lumix and the 135mm has been reimagined by Nikon ... I am wondering what more can Panasonic deliver at 135mm with the same chassis ... might be a technical impossibility but the possibility of it would be most exciting

[@jrschwaller]

@LUMIXUSA Sean, which Panasonic M43 lenses control focus breathing (besides 10-25 & 25-50, which I believe do)?

[@photocapnl]

@LumixUSA Will there be a fullframe powerzoom? Due to my disability I can't use a zoomlens, nog I use primelenses with my s5ii. Thanks by the way for the excellent app

[@vikkitempleton9157]

I tried to purchase a 18mm in Australia and after 6 weeks of waiting and still no idea when I would get it I cancelled the order. I assume it would be the same with lens. Every new lens here you have to wait for. Not good enough

Will the GH6 get real time Lut through update?

[@petereckoldt7653]

@​LUMIX USA - 12-35 f2.8 gen1 @35mm,1/30s on my G9M2 every picture is blurry, same lens & same settings on my G9 or GH6 every picture is sharp, even with much longer exposure. Display-symbol on G9M2 shows that DualIS is activ, but seems stabelizing gen1-lenses didnt't work at all on G9M2. Same with 35-100 f2.8gen1, other users of G9M2 have reportetd same issue - What is the problem on G9M2?

[@kudobeats]

a mft equivalent would be nice , the third party 1 is meh

[@northislandnow8858]

I know this doesn’t have anything to do with this lens.
Please please Panasonic will you consider making a monochrome g9 ii or a monochrome gh6 ii? Please!
I just bought my spouse the latest Pentax Monochrome because upgrading his current g9 wasn’t enough of any interest for me vs an old system he already has from before the Panasonic g9.
After trying the Pentax Monochrome none bayer camera. I’m sold. If Panasonic doesn’t make one since Lieca already has many monochrome bodies. I’ll have no choice to buy another Pentax body.
So please, make us one. Even if it’s a special order camera. Myself and more than many others will love a monochrome none bayer sensor Panasonic. Maybe even do a full frame version. Maybe that will gain so much traction that people can’t consider not buying into Panasonic.

i, I wrote today about shooting in 5.9 to beki, I wrote an insert card again error, I saw that this is a permanent error on the Panasonic lumix s5 mark 2, do I need to go and return the camera? is this a marriage? Before this, the card was everywhere, but now it’s not. What’s the point of buying a Panasonic not for video?)) because there’s a lot of advertising, what a super camera, but in fact, the second shooting kills the cards. scandisk v90,300 mbt card. Why does Panasonic advertise shooting in 6k 30 minutes per card so that people buy new cards? or what if they didn’t earn money? There are 100 such problems described on the Internet, I regret that I didn’t buy a Canon. There’s no way to sell such rubbish, not for video. If the computer is warm, give it an SSD output for 5.ii, what’s the solution? just return the money?
