wonderful captures!  this is exactly what I wanted to see with that lens.   My 75 is coming to me in a mail hopefully by Saturday, it is one before last to complete my m43 package (Panasonic 7-14 would be the last).    Did you have to use ND filter on any of these (I see you were at 1/4000 at some?)

Thanks. I used B+W MRC polarizer and it was enough to prevent overexposure. Some shots were taken with 1/4000s because I didn't have time to meter the scene properly and I was conservative in exposure compensation. First shot with 1/4000s is a bit underexposed.

BTW, I shoot RAW and in many cases I reduced highlights/whites and sometimes exposure in Lightroom. If you shoot JPEG you may need at least 3 stop ND filter. But, I wouldn't shoot scenes with high dynamic range in JPEG anyway.
