Sharpness and SS in daily life

I posted some shutter shock tests the other day, showing SS appearing over a very wide range of shutter speeds in the 12-32 @ 32.

A couple of people told me to relax, for goodness sake, even though I wasn't panicking, but being a person of independent mind (i.e. pigheaded), I decided to return to my former practice of taking two lenses everywhere. I would have the 12-32 on the camera covering the 12-14 range (instead of having the Panny 14 for that job; I have sold it) with the longer focal lengths to be used only in dire emergency. In my pocket, I would have either the Oly 45 or the Panny 45-150.

So out I went today with the GX7 fitted with the 12-32 and the 45 in my pocket (well, actually in my bilum -- string shoulder bag, that's what we use here instead of a pocket, unless we are using a coconut palm frond basket).

There was not really a dire emergency; I just forgot I had instituted a new regime and thus forgot to change lenses a couple of times.

Anyway, here is the Panny 32 in real life (not a test situation) and the Oly 45. It was pretty warm as you can see. The red/black teeth are caused by betel nut.

The Panny shaped up pretty well, I thought.

So okay, I'm happy! BUT I did enjoy carrying the extra lens. 32 really isn't long enough for me. LOL.
