So this is one hell of an expensive camera … one that has caused much excitement (and disappointment about the price) with a full frame sensor and a killer lens. I took one for a short test drive to see how awesome it is and managed to capture a handful of photos today.<\/p>\n

Street photography is fun with this almost silent camera. The 35mm lens makes it a wonderful tool for street photography.<\/em><\/p>\n

Colors are pretty awesome although I prefer using the ‘neutral’ setting instead of the ‘standard’ one. I’ll make adjustments in post processing if necessary. Oh … and I ain’t a RAW shooter … so don’t ask me about it. \ud83d\ude1b<\/em><\/p>\n

Close up shots are pretty fun with this beast although you can’t really go very close. One thing I realised … when I was trying to take some photos of Fitzand up close … the focus went cranky and it couldn’t lock focus. Maybe it was just me … so I’ll try it again soon.<\/em><\/p>\n

The lens seems pretty darn sharp!<\/em><\/p>\n

This is (as usual) not a review. Just a quick test drive. The camera’s pretty well built … feels real solid (compared to those I’ve used like the Fujifilm X100 … or even X-Pro1) and seems to be a very good performer (to me).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
