(FT5) Panasonic Full Frame camera will use the Leica SL mount!!!
Panasonic G9 with Leica SL mount rendering. The new Panasonic FF camera is rumored to look close to that
It looks like one of my rumors could have been wrong. “Evidence” I got the past days confirm that the new Panasonic FF WILL DEFINITELY use the Leica SL mount. One of the sources told me that the prototype he saw some times ago looked like a Panasonic G9 with Leica SL mount. Here are the six SL lenses you can use right away with the new Panasonic.
Another source suggested the camera might don’t use SD cards:
Not sure on the final choice but uhs-II is not fast enough for top speeds of output.
