Here's a shot of my wife's father and a friend of his.

Nice shot. The hair is a tad oof. With the EX2F it would not be an issue.

Touche. I guess I could have stopped down if I'd wanted. But then the background isolation would not have been as good. FWIW, according to the EXIF data, it was f/2.6 at 47mm equiv. I don't remember exactly what max aperture on LX100 is at 47m equiv, but I *think* I *was* stopped down at least a little bit

(but it was pretty darn close to wide open http://www.dpreview.com/files/p/articles/9166939407/images/Equiv_Ap.png

I don't really know if the hair is oof, I was just kidding! 

I see you have an NX300. When I was after a backup NX500 and not finding one at a decent price I did consider the NX300 might fill the role. Nearly bit the bullet on one and then a bargain Coolpix A came along instead.

I know. I can't stick my Samsung lenses on the Coolpix A if my NX500 breaks but at least I'll have a small silent street shooter that can fill that role. Still it would leave me with a bunch of Samsung lenses and no body to use them on. Gawd - I hate dilemmas. I'll probably end up watching NX300 prices and snagging one at some point..
