LumiX S9 The XPAN Expierence

XPan Photography was and has always been popular with film photographers. It is a wide field of view, giving pictures a wide, almost cinematic view.

I have always been fascinated by the xpan photography, which shoots in a 65:24 aspec ratio and decided to find a digital camera that would support the aspect ratio. I ended up with the Lumix S9 and in this interactive audio blog we’ll discuss the photography experience on the Lumix S9 shooting 65:24 and sometimes 2;1

The audio blog is inspired by the following episode on my youtube channel

The Leica Q3 has been on the market for some time now. The big question now is: how does the original Leica Q hold up in 2025? Those are the questions that we answer in our audio blog.
