Thanks to the firmware update of the S5II/x and the new E-stabilization (high) mode I no longer need the gimbal and I sold it to get the Sigma 65mm f/2 lens. It's my first sigma prime lens and I have to say I'm impressed.
The lens arrived last Friday and this weekend I had a free hour on Sunday to take photos after finishing the Vienna marathon. Here are some photos with the S1R:
I have taken many portraits of my family but I don't like to share them on the internet. Here one of our dog at minimal focus distance (not the best dog portrait out there but just to have an idea...)
I have to say that it is an excellent portrait lens, and I'm afraid that the 50mm 1.4 Lumix PRO and the 85mm 1.8 Lumix are going to have to share the camera with this Sigma 65mm f/2. I have always thought that for portraits at typical focal lengths there is something like a jump between 50 and 85, and this 65mm fills the gap perfectly.
