L-Mount A more gear-orientated L-mount place?

[pdk42]

I love Cameraderie, esp as a place to post images. But if you're looking for L-mount gear talk, it's a bit quiet. If you think the same and want somewhere to chat about Panasonic, Sigma, and Leica L-mount gear, I'd recommend this site:

L-MOUNT Forum

L-MOUNT User Forum, L-Mount forum, L-Mount Forums, L-Mount cameras, Leica, Panasonic fullframe, Sigma fullframe, Sigma Foveon, Lumix, Lumix S1R, Lumix S1, Leica SL, Sigma ART

l-mount-forum.com

It's run by an enthusiast (Dirk), so it has similar vibes to Cameraderie (and other Amin Sabet fora in their early days). I think if you're an L-mount user that you'll like it there.

Joined. No L mount currently but believe S5II is in my future.

There's a lot to like about an open consortium for a full frame mirrorless lens mount/camera system, especially when the likes of Leica and Sigma are involved, along with Panasonic's dependable electronics manufacturing chops. If the right L-mount camera came along, I could see myself getting into it. So far the offerings haven't been quite my cup of tea (but the S5 came close).

There will be an S1 mk II coming soon. Probably with the 60Mp sensor from the SL3, and maybe a video oriented body with anew 36Mp sensor with fast readout.

I have one (and an S1R and S5). The S5ii is a very good camera.

The S5ii is a very good camera.

Soon to be even better, with the upcoming firmware update!

Joined. Thanks for the tip. Sometimes it is nice geeking out over gear in common.

Lots of chat about the S9 over on the l-mount forum if you’re interested.
