No, no. It's not mine. I wanted to ask what kind of viewfinder is he wearing?boah.... you got the green one. This is so beautiful !!!
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).
Sirui:
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.

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.

I had no idea Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto were photographers.

Wow, that is striking. I would trade my black S9 for that in a second.

A little explanation for those that aren't in countries where baseball is popular. The sport is extremely popular in Japan and the United States, as well as the Caribbean, much of Latin America and other Asian countries. It is pretty common for players in one country to be recruited to other countries, and especially for top players to be recruited to the United States, which is the largest market. Both Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are top Japanese players, first in Japan and now in the United States. When I saw the silver S9 video that @xaviergut posted the two guys in the video reminded me very much of these two baseball players. Even the mannerisms and personality of "boy" are similar to Ohtani
Ohtani is the most popular and well known baseball player in the world. He is currently on a 10 year $700 million contract in the United States. Yamamoto is up and coming, with a 12 year $325 million contract. They are both extremely popular in Japan as well as the United States, and tourism is way up from Japan to the US, where a key tourist event is to go to a baseball game.
