Congratulations on the new addition. It’s always fun to have a new camera to explore and learn about.

I’ll be very interested in seeing how you adapt to the new kid. I’m having the same experience, but in your case I’d bet there are some things that are at least similar with your new kid. I’m brand new all around.

I agree, I can’t wait for it to be pervasive on digital

Oh how I’ve missed it when I attempt to focus manually!

[...] Jeschke at “Red Skies at Night” did some very creative video work this previous year but I don’t pretend to be creative enough to do short [...]

Eric, here’s a welcome to the “new kid.” For the price I agree there wasn’t much way this couldn’t be a good purchase decision. Yeah, if video was a strong requirement the OM-D probably wouldn’t be the first choice, however, issues with AF in the earlier Olympus Micro 4/3′s camera’ s have been worked out. The OM-D is one of the faster AF cameras I’ve owned.

I hope you continue to enjoy the G5 and I look forward to seeing the results here this coming year.

Even I can see the quality of the lighting and camera.
I vote for lots of portraits and really do not mind your limited subject matter! I wait for it! and thank you.
Carry on.

Eric, you’ve been doing some very nice portrait work lately. I hope you and your family has a Merry Christmas and that the new year is very good to you.

I hear ya, Earl. Actually, the Pany wins on everything between these two lenses from f2.8 on up, except perhaps on quality of bokeh. But there is some magic in the old lens for portraits at the wider f-stops: 2.2, 2.0, 1.8 and 1.4. There the “defects” of this non-computer designed analog lens comes through to make a really nice portrait. See the two in the next post as an example.

But for walking around it’s no contest: the Pany is light, has good AF and the quality is great.
