Awwww... that's super sexy! :D

Well, you're welcome :)

Ah no she isn't.

Is it possible she might be using fill-in flash?

It's not only about the focal length, it's about aperture for FF like background/subject separation and low light photography. And AF as well. And cheap. And high quality. So yes, the Sigma 30mm ...

Great examples! I'm getting it ASAP :D

Thanks a lot. I've made up my mind. I will purchase it as soon as I've sold my 20mm 1.7 (I'm not using it anymore since I bought the PL15).

Thanks! Could you post some more examples?

...and that's exactly why it's cheap (mass scale economy) and good (using the most central part of the image circle.

I see a great use for concerts in small venues and full length portraits (events, weddings).

What I mostly want is the possiblity to shoot full-length portrait with a blurred background without having to step back 10m away :)

Thank you for your feedback. I think I'm going to buy it. Could you post some of your best thin DoF pictures taken with it?

Hello, In the process of completing my range of lenses, I'm about to fill the "normal prime, big aperture, low light; thin dof" slot. There's the obvious PL25 1.4, the new uber-expensive Olympus ...

In this thread, I have inadvertently discovered and tested shutter shock with the Pana 45-150: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3910484

Don't do that. It's an extremely sluggish combo. Especially for street photography unless you deactivate AF and use zone focusing only.

Own(ed) both. The em5 looks like a good deal. Great stabilization. The main GX7 advantage over the GX7 is the 1/8000s max shutter speed and better video.

Maybe? No $hit Sherlock. It will be much more than that.

Couldn't wait. Got a second hand, barely used 9-18 on eBay for 300 euros. Very happy with it. I fear the Laowa will be MUCH more expensive than that.

No but really, it DOES work... http://gregorydziedzic.com/photos/index.php?/category/Music

Just bought a pristine second hand 9-18 for 300 euros on eBay. That will be wide enough for me for a while ;)
