Matt in that case then take your 120 and your 45 when there is a lot of hiking in-between shots, and leave more lens in the car.................I do really like your wide angle shots BTW

Neil

 

Yep! Body and 1 or 2 lenses much easier than 3.

 

Here's a not-very-wide shot in the subway. S(007), 30-90 at 81mm:

The TS-APO-Elmar-S 120 is a very useful lens. I have been testing it. This shot, I used tilt and fall to keep swans, coot, village and mountain in focus. S 006, ISO 400, 120mm at f11

Impressed, I always find that lens slow to focus and use TS with!

It is slow, partly because it takes quite a lot of rotation to focus and also because of the f5.6 maximum aperture. I know this location, therefore I anticipated the tilt, fall and focus for the arrival of the swans. I started with ISO 100 and after a few shots changed to 400 to increase shutter speed.

 

I am pleased with the utility of this lens.

ZHNL,  Quite a thought provoking image.  Plus the color, texture, light, DOF and composition makes the image look like a painting.  An image that IMO, makes one stop, look, think and feel are the qualities that separate an ordinary photograph from a great photograph....and this to me, is the latter.  r/ Mark

Hi, Mark, I appreciate your kind comment and glad you like the image. The early morning light was soft and highlighted the front tree trunk. It made me stop the car take this shot quickly. Choose WO here was trying to keep decent sharpness without tripod and I knew it should give me decent DOF in this distance. I think between f2.5 and f5.6, all should give a sense of depth here in term of sharp to blur transition and they all can't cover all the DOF window in this distance. However, If I had the tripod, I most likely will shot this at f11 so that front branch also within DOF window. The lighting and composition will give a sense of depth in this particular case.

 

Have read all the complain about S here and everywhere (mine included), this is still the most enjoyable system I ever used in term of output and shooting experience and it is the best manual focus camera out of any modern systems I used. It beat hand down all EVF based cameras I used or OVF based 35mm system as long as there is enough light for me to see through the OVF with f2~f2.5 aperture. I will use car terminology here: this is a luxury German car  which doesn't have the same reliability of Japanese rivals. Both can take you from A to B, but experience can be quite different :)
