This is really interesting. I wanted to do the same once the prices come down. My idea was to use it with an optical viewfinder and the compact Sigma 35/2 or the compact Sigma 45/2,8 with a old 5 cm optical viewfinder.
Grateful do a more detailed video about using those small leica lenses. Any vignetting? Just how good is autofocus in stills and video. They are expensive to buy, but if perform well, would be ideal for small capable S9. Thank you.
I saw someone on Reddit say that by using the APSC lens you drop down to 10 megapixels on the 18mm. Is that true? Also, did you test out the video with these lenses? Could the 18mm be used for vlogging even with the 1.5 crop? Thanks!
Yes, 10Mpx is correct. APS-C lenses cover smaller part of the FF sensor and this cuts down the resolution. The 18 mm lens will look like 28 mm on full frame. The S9 automatically crops the image with these lenses regardless if you shoot photo or video. I haven’t tested the Leica lenses for video but they should work and the S9 should produce 4K recordings even with the crop sensor lenses. I will post an update if I get to use it again.
It desperately needs a 28mm f2.8 and that compact zoom thats been in the marketing pictures for 6 months. Maybe seeing people resorting to APS-C lenses from their discontinued range will inspire Leica to bring back the CL.
I never knew this camera can be used with leica lenses 😅. It is a whole new world to me. Thank you.
Happy to help!
s9 witht he Sigma 45mm 2.8 at lens is. perfect setup!
And the Sigma 24/3.5 and 17/4. All we need is Sigma 35/2.8 (the F2 version is a tad too big) 😀

Enjoyed many of these photos! Nice camera just waiting for some small lenses.
You and me both!

@@PetrGardianTV Ok thank you! This video was so helpful

I agree. Then it could shot like a slightly bigger Ricoh GR...
