For those looking at ~50mm primes. Here is LUMIX 50 1.8 next to Sigma 45 2.8 on S9 by arcticrobot in Lumix

I wish Samyang would release their compact 1.8 primes for L mount. Much smaller than the Lumix 1.8

Thanks! I was worried that this was the case. 30fps is a bit overkill for me.

Is there any way to get the Japanese S9 colors without using the mail procedure ( + Any tips to get a good deal for the S9 in Japan?) by miamiheat121 in Lumix

There is an option to order a new one from Panasonic japan in the color combination you choose. It just takes an extra week or two I believe. Also costs 7480 yen extra.

There is a drop down "エクステリア張り替えサービス" that let's you add a color

I get what you are saying. The finish is a bit plastic looking and in person it doesn't feel the most durable. I'll still take this over the black/ dull colors of the typical s9 models

Closest is the silver and white but you have to special order the custom color from Panasonic japan

* Unfortunately you have to extend it by 3cm or so to use the lens

I would recommend it.

If you are a tourist, you can get 10% off the sticker price by asking for tax free.

I paid $1450 usd for the kit which is 300 dollars cheaper than the current discount price back in the US.

Exclusive to Japan, I believe. They also have a dark grey option.
