Almost 5months of using this lens, and it's almost my daily kit so much that the Panasonic 7-14 F4 is in dry cabinet most of the time, I've gotten used to the size & weight of it on the EM10+grip :) If not for the haze would have been using it more.

Some update shots of these few months. All single shots processed by Lightroom.

Did an event "9 emperor gods" with some friends, the AF really struggled, so some shots I did it with MF and the distance markers and F2.8 came in useful.

7mm, ISO3200, F2.8, 1/40s


7mm, ISO1600, F2.8, 1/30s
 

Some shots taken with Live Composite functions.

1sec base shot, 7mm, F11, 3 stops Grad ND, ISO 100


10sec base shot, 7mm, F8, ISO100, 3 stops Grad ND.


3x3 shots Panorama, the above shot forms 1 of it. Used a Nodal Ninja 3 panoramic head. Live composite function really helped here, was quite hard to stitch the traffic trails.

Some single shot long exposures with Live Time function and some shots with very decent starburst. Raw shots processed from Lightroom

82sec, 7mm, F10, ISO100, Stacked a Haida 10 stoppper and 3 stops soft grad ND.


42sec, 14mm, F11, ISO100, Stacked a Haida 10 stopper and 3 stops Reversed Grad ND.


27sec, 9mm, F13, ISO100, Stacked a Haida 10+3 ND filter.

Thank you Wong. I love that lens even I just got it a week ago. Best decision to buy this lens. Will post some more examples here from NY in the next days - of course also with your ;)

And awesome picture from Singapore, can't wait to get back with the 7-14 Pro.

Which grip do you use for your EM10?

Was using the ECG-1 grip, then I gotten RRS L bracket which is really great for panoramic photography with this lens, it's pricey but I was lucky to get it 2nd hand from a buddy:)
