Someone has to start the new month off...

This statue was erected in one of the local parks, earlier this past autumn. I happened to drive past it shortly after it went up and it's haunted me ever since. I finally took the S5 for a spin tonight, now that the weather is getting better (for certain Midwestern values of the word "better," of course).

Panasonic LUMIX S5, Panasonic S-Series 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6, 1/8 @ f/5.6, ISO3200

Finally weather is getting better. Just 8 celcius, but with a nice sun it doesn't bother me. Had the 24-105 also with me, but decided to give the S35/1.8 some tlc :) My daughter was also with me, and then the smaller dof is always nice. Sometimes this one can also have a quite busy bokeh wide open. But still ok to my eye.

I borrowed the Sony A7CR from my brother and last saturday I had time to try it out next to the S5II. I used the excellent Sigma 24-70 f2.8 ii with the Sony and the Lumix 14-28mm with the S5II. Both at 24mm. The sun is a bit too much in the corner, I know... I used auto withe balance for both...

... and I noticed that the Sony files are more bluish in general. But I wish that Lumix gives us a version of the Sony A7CR, please, please, Lumix a S9 with grip, mechanical shutter, 61mpx, etc. Z04 Sabber

By the way, what a great Lens is the Lumix 14-28mm!!

because of the Sony colors, rendering (even in raw) I dismissed Sony. It was for me really a difficult choice between Nikon en Panasonic.

I also have the Minolta 100/3.5 macro, a fairly recent acquisition. I quite like it but it does seem very big and heavy for what it offers and I'm undecided on whether or not to keep it.

Same here… I actually picked it up last year, but it’s mostly sat in the bag because of the size/weight. The Bokina is still large and heavy, but at least it’s better than the Minolta. I need to do a shoot-off between them at some point.

If you want even lighter, the Tamron SP 90/2.5 Macro is also very good, but the bokeh doesn’t have that creamy smoothness of the Bokina.

I really like the third shot with the person and the dog.

I recognise the scene now! Nice shots for sure.

How did you like the EVF on the A7CR? Personally, I find it very small. I guess I could adapt, but it’s just a bit too close to unacceptably small in my estimation.

Yes, it is small, and the resolution is ok, but of course notihg to do with the S1 series or with the glorious A7RV... but I used it only to frame the scene in emergency situations in terms of light...
