You’ll see in the shot above that I’ve cropped it squarer than the 3:2 of the sensor.

Yes, that could be a reason why I like that image so much. I am a MFT nerd... hopeless...

Unless I’m going XPan, I prefer a squarer format. 3:2 isn’t really a very good ratio in my opinion.

You mean no IBIS... Yeah nightmare!

Nothing to do with IBIS.

This is a lens that's long and heavy enough that on a small body like the fp, you have to concentrate to keep the far end from moving around in a circle. ^_- A larger body with a larger grip and more weight will balance the lens better.

The results look goo though Travis. Love the leaf and bark shot.

Thank you! Appreciated.

salt in my wounds....

I have 3 zooms which include 28mm. But I am not a zoom guy normally (except tele zoom)... Oh man, I am suffering... How long will it take until we will see a small and light 28mm FFL?

Another shot from Oslo.

This 35mm lens image looks a lot more "clear" than the one above with the 20-60 zoom. But your comment earlier is correct. This 3:2 ratio feels less appealing to me than the other 35mm shot, which you cropped. I also loved 6x6 with Medium Format images in the past. The aquare format gives an image a totally different impact. The 4:3 image format of MFT is a good step in that direction. But it is not the best format for every situations/image.

This is mostly down to the processing. I was trying to create a subtle "dreamy" effect.

The month is nearly over!

This is the old Cronulla Theatre which opened back in 1928. It was quite a large theatre seating over 1,500 people and had a beautiful art deco interior. It was redeveloped into a multiplex theatre the 1970s with only the original facade retained, although the building footprint looks largely the same as it was.

Just for fun I am posting two versions of the same photo - the first is a Leica Monochrome JPEG and the second is the colour version developed from the RW2 file.

And this link shows what the building looked like just before it was redeveloped into a multiplex in the mid-1970s (from this local newspaper article).
