Lumix S 26mm f8 bodycap lens

[Markuswelder]

It's a little ripper. I bought one at full retail (I think) -not inherited as part of a kit, and it's been pretty much stuck on my S5 ever since. I really get what Panasonic was up to when they designed it. A tiny, light, simple little lens that's just great fun to use. Without thinking too deeply or seriously about the gear. It turns my S5 into a supercharged phone camera. With an EVF. Not to be taken too seriously.

Even better on an S9. I think I have heard of this thing you call EVF.

Curious as to how it's better. No viewfinder is a no go for me now, after bulk frustrations with a couple of viewfinderless cameras I've owned/still own long term. I even tried shooting for a week using rear screen only on my S5, not happening.

I agree. Lack of EVF is an absolute deal breaker.
