Finding this combo to be a great, light, walk-around system. Color saturation and pop are so off the scale that I had to turn down the vibrance in Lightroom for both of these examples shot over the weekend.

Who says you can't do action with the S5 Pro? Natural light shot at f/2.8.

24mm may produce a 35mm equivalent FOV, but at f/2.8 the DOF is closer to that of a 35mm f/4 lens.

Hope you enjoy the old school Fuji colors.

Have you made prints from the combo? Sometimes the large prints look better than on screen......just my opinion, though.

I'm just now getting my preferred camera settings worked out so I have not printed from the S5 Pro yet. But you do make an interesting suggestion about print quality. I recall reading somewhere that someone said in prints the softness of the S5 Pro is mitigated and the tonality really shines. Is that what you meant, Bob?

That's not a bad way to put it.  The gradients in color seem to yield a more life-like print.  13 x 19 is my usual max print size for enlargements and I have been quite satisfied.  In my office/gallery the S5 prints get more "oohs" than others.  Let me know what you think about your prints when you get to that point.
