S9 accessories and add-ons

I had in the past optical VF like this for Ricoh GR and Sigma DPM. I have to look whether I still have them.

They only provide 28mm view. Hard to see framelines and of course it does not work 100%, depending on how close the subject is.

I never used them after all because of that.
 
Regarding handgrip:

There are currently 2 available in Europe (strangly in Japan they were sold out for weeks or not yet delivered).

A small one from Smallrig which Panasonic gave the Youtubers on the S9 event and a larger one from Sirui.

I like the bigger one from Sirui more, because I can hold the S9 more comfortable and secure with it.

On the other hand this makes the S9 also bigger. The difference to a Lumix S5 is not that much anymore (S5ii is taller than the S5).

This I like with both. Both grips do not enlarge the width of the body, only the height.
As a comparison: Grips available for the Leica Q3/Q3 43 enlarge the camera‘s width and height.

There is a silver top version of the S9 and a silver version of the 18-40mm Lens available in Japan. Very beautiful and cool combo:
Oh wow, I didn't know about the silver version of the lens! I have the silver-top S9 but I don't know if the silver 18-40mm lens is available in Australia.

I had a silver-top GX85 and a silver Pana-Leica 15mm lens which looked great together.
