Angie With the New Lens
June 28th, 2020
I did a second shoot to try out my new Panasonic 42.5mm lens, this time with the lovely Angie as my model. I shot all of these wide open at f/1.7 just to see how the lens performed at that aperture. The one above was shot at ISO 200.
Below is a shot at ISO 1250.
And here is one at ISO 2000.
I love the high ISO performance of my Panasonic GX8 cameras. The sensor is really sweet. This last one is shot at ISO 2500.
I don’t think there’s really much more one could ask of a camera than what the GX8 delivers. It’s going to take some major advances to get me to even think about buying another camera.
One last photo, this one taken with my little Olympus pancake fisheye lens with a fixed f/8 aperture. I had it mounted on a different camera that day. This was before I bought my second GX8. So I used a Panasonic GF-7 for this photo. That’s a little tiny compact micro 4/3 camera. It’s not quite small enough to carry in my belt pouch, and it’s the old 16mp sensor, so I seldom use it anymore. I also don’t take a lot of fisheye photos, but it’s easy to keep that little pancake fisheye lens in the bottom of the camera bag for whenever I get the urge, like I did here. Since it’s only an f/8 lens I had to crank up the ISO…up to 3200 for this photo…not too shabby…and remember, this is the old 16mp sensor.
