Generally speaking, yes it is in Japan.
All shots were made with the same camera +
It is hard to explain, this restaurant serves many dishes. We had at least
four or five dishes before the main, then two deserts one from a chef
and then the other from a patissier. In this order ....
After the main meal we were so stuffed, so asked them to make a doggy bug of cakes. _________________ Our Home Page has 18,200 photos in 575 directories today.

The more rural area you go, the more beautiful the scenery is in Japan.
(I am not talking here about very natural vista like Canadian rockies,
sceneries in Japan is often the deep collaboration of nature and human.
So the scene I admire always has human artifacts including rice paddy or
house, and well kept forest in the mountain side. )
Unfortunately it is harder to get to one or find the place in modernized
country these days and the most of cities look alike. But there still are
many places you can enjoy staying and photographing, and do not forget
eating is also fun in that islands. If you eat fish, that would be perfect. _________________ Our Home Page has 18,200 photos in 575 directories today.

so interesting seeing more and more m4/3 on this forum, both mf and af.
the shots are quite nice and interesting of course, but i wonder how do you like the lens? my understanding is it is quite expensive, $400usd--do you think it is worth the price? perhaps its how the pictures are downloaded, but at 20mm i would have thought the lens would have a more shallow depth of field--what are your thoughts?

Hi Tony
The Lumix G 20/1.7 lens is quite capable lens, and sharp enough for many
situation. It looks sharper in near field than far objects. I bought the lens
together with DMC-GF1 (actually other way around), and Pana is promoting
this kit, so I paid practically US$700~800 in Tokyo last month. This camera
and lens is for my wife, since her camera FUJI F10 is out of fashion(!?)
It has deep DoF even at F1.7 mainly because its focal length and m4/3's
frame size. But it has surprisingly deep DoF as you notice.
These photos are Jpeg output from the camera, nothing done in PP except
some fill light occasionally. Though the camera recognize human faces,
then its exposures are adjusted to the faces automatically, of course it fails
sometime.
If you can use some of F1.4 to F2 lenses with adapter, you can get healthy
bokeh too. See > http://forum.mflenses.com/gf1-and-g-planar-35-2-t22622.html
When I "borrow" the camera, I use RAW mode for shooting. In this case
I convert .rw2 (pana's raw file ext) files to .dng file by Adobe's DNG converter.
Then I develop them mostly with Capture one (v4) to get Jpeg files, not Tiff files. _________________ Our Home Page has 18,200 photos in 575 directories today.

Hi,
only a short information I read few days ago in a magazine. The name of the magazine is ColorFoto, a famous one here on the German market.
They rated the available lenses for the pana´s. Here a short conclusion.
Lumix G Vario 4/7-14 83 points
Lumix G vario 3.5-5,6/14-45 87,5 points (the kit lens)
Lumix G Vario 4,5-5,8/14-140 73,5 points
Lumix G Vario 4-5,6/45-200 75 points
Lumix G 1.7/20 87,5 points
Olympus Zuiko 2.8/17 78,5 points
all lenses tested at GH1 with m4/3 mount.
I only own the kit lens but it seems that it has a good price/performance ratio. _________________ Rolf |
