There's a bunch of new firmware available for the S5II, S5IIX, S9, and G9II - Check out my video here after this - ruclips.net/video/qAqFhybuXUM/видео.html Check it out on B&H here and Amazon links in the description 🛒 B&H - bhpho.to/480TPTR (affiliate link)
For a kit lens…it’s seems pretty good and so light! Nice firmware updates for all the cameras…including the option to remove the recording limit on the S9 (your other video 😊).
I wish you didn't have to extend the lens to start using it, or that the collapsed size was the 18mm that way you could just power up and shoot much like how the 20-60 works. I wanted something that would keep the overall size down, but with the extended lens its a lot closer to the 20-60 in size, so I might just hold on to my 20-60 which has been great so far.
I have both and, even when extended, it's about 3/4" shorter than the 20-60, and still 60% lighter. I love the 20-60, and still favor it over the 18-40, but for just vlogging and run and gun video, this little lens is too much fun.
The Olympus 9-18 is pretty close to it with an equivalent 18-36mm FL! It is exactly the same weight at 155g! It is also a bit faster exposure wise (f4-5.6), not sure if it is enough for you (of course it loses if considering equivalency).

The only video about this lens I watched. Thanks for sharing. Say hi for me to the pretty model too😀
Thanks, Matti. I would love to see your take on this lens if you get your hands on it. It's not fast, but that wide end is so good. :)
@@GeekyNerdyTechy Let's see if I'll ever have that pleasure.
great review! does (hybrid zoom) works (HD) 1080p @ 60p on S9?
nice video, looks like a great lens - pity it wasn't available when the S9 first came out (or pity I didn't wait!!)
Thanks for this. I'm kinda torn. Love the small size. I really hope this starts a trend toward smaller, lighter lenses.
They should have waited to introduce the camera with that lens. What a marketing fail.

This lens is so small. Even extended, it's very compact.

Wish they made this in a M43 mount with a faster fstop.

Nice KIT
It's a fun little lens! Thanks for watching.
War room book ♥
Japan gets the 18-40 and the S9 in silver color schemes, it's not fair 😀
Orange too, check it out on フジヤカメラ or マップカメラ.
thanx
Not sure why Panasonic can’t make a normal pancake that every other manufacturer can do. 28mm f3.5 for 200-400 bucks.
F/4.5-6.3 💩
Yes😂😂😂😂 2.8 is the best
