Greg, it does the 80% thing for my casual weekend trips due to 1) lightweight setup with the 35/56 2) 56 does quite well with backlight with low CA during golden hour etc 3) for casual photog you ...

same place, different days and different gear.

Thx Greg. Indeed, its a great combo. Was planning to get rid of all my APSC after getting my 100S and I did some simple AB tests and have decided to trim the fat but not get rid of my APSC - ...

My 2 week impressions (subjective) * IBIS and AF are **huge** jumps over my 50R. The shutter sound .... oooh, feels like a X-H1. This is luxury. Of course I will keep it ;) * IQ improvements are ...

Agree with the CA issues but the lens doesn't want to come off my 100S ..... its like my 35/1.4 that I can't outgrow :)

Sorry, I meant the sound of the mechanical shutter - much softer than the 50R. It feels like the Fuji X-H1 .... the best APSC camera I have handled so far.

Hi Jim, by shutter sound I meant the actual sound of the shutter. It feels much softer than my 50R.

Some Visible CA too.

Superb demo of the ibis. The ibis is incredible. The other surprise was the near silent soft shutter. The 100MP helps in these crop scenarios too. overall for me it’s a very good but an expensive ...

some CA from the 80/1.7

Thx @Chris and @goodbokeh. I went to the lighthouse beach area in Santa Cruz this eve to catch some light and here is a SOOC with the 80/1.7 wide open (on purpose). I need to fix the levels etc ...

Got my package in the PM, opened it at night after work. Battery had 0 charge hence took some time to charge it directly (heart thumping as my charger has not arrived). Stuck my 80/1.7 and ...

I think I probably messed that one up - I just did an import into C1P and exported for quick sharing. Although the ambient light was slightly more bluish than your version.

pic = 1000 words. I didn't realize how useful this lens could be, given the OIS. I could handhold it to 1/60s at 200mm. Not bad for a medium format lens.

Thx .... I think this lens is a keeper, although its a little specialized....

Did some very quick pics of stuff around home. Spring has not blossomed yet, hence the shots are less interesting. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/0mcE5SOAQ2G3ekjwPqS2hA.d3-ZVGSjobUmLtkhwnec2y
