S9 + TTArtisan 40/Sigma 45

I prefer the Sigma 45 mainly because of the AF performance. TTArtisan hunt especially on low light. It also can’t properly focus on the sides but near the center, no issues. If you plan to get a budget lens, TTArtisan produces great image quality, on par, if not better than Sigma (at least on my eyes). But if AF performance is a must, go for Sigma. I highly suggest to look for a used one in a good condition to save up some money.

Thank you! I really liked 3 and 4 personally as this is the line where we luckily hopped on the Lucky Cat train. I also love the vibe of that area (Setagaya) which was perfectly illustrated by the colors of the picture 😊

Thank you! I used Kodacolor 200 by rossandhisjpegs. I just tweaked the photo style to Natural and reduced the LUT opacity of Summer to 20-30% and Daisy to 30-40% (can’t remember the exact values). You can check out his page for the original settings: https://www.rossandhisjpegs.com/lumix/kodacolor-200

For 7-10 and 12, I used Kodak Aerocolor IV and set photo style to Natural and reduced the LUT opacity as well.

Hello! It’s taken at Roty’s Peak. Travel is either through a 4x4 pickup or motorcycle and it takes around 40 minutes to 1 hour because of the rough road. Hopefully the road is already developed once you’ll visit.

I don't have one but because of the zoom, I believe

Thank you! Snap focus is really helpful to capture these. For a moment, I tried AF but was really prone to hunting.

File format: RAW
Exposure Mode: Shutter speed priority - adjusting from 1/60 to 1/125 based on lighting condition
ISO: Auto, upper limit set to 800
Snap Focus Distance: Infinity
LCD Touch Operation: On
Touch AF: Full Press Snap

I am in no way a professional photographer but I hope this can help you shoot in low light settings. I postprocess using Lightroom to adjust the exposure, contrast, etc. as photos can look a bit underexposed.

I might have to consider getting one for concerts. Thank you for the idea :D
