Playing with new gear and I'm still leaning but I already have great feel.   Yes, I'm in transition period to "Full Frame" except...  I'm keeping m43.    ....and....    a 35mm film.


A several years of technology advance means the gear so much easy to handle and producing a great image a little bit easier.  Well, I still believe gear is a tool and the one behind is the key factor.  However, I have to admit new technology/gear helps a lot.  
It handles old manual focus lens very well, focus is easy. 

A process I've done here is nothing so special from what I have done in past.  It has been warmed up a little on highlight and WB is on shade for start.

Very low cost and compact short tele. Full Frame equiv 270mm F2.8, and it's very lightweight.

A bit of editing info on this one:
It has boosted mid tone colour just a little and and individual colour channel luminance as to have some boost as well as reducing clarity to give some soft effect.  (Bee below small image).
Then desaturated about 50% fro surrounding of main brunch.

Before desaturate the surrounding.

I was using mono pod but it still bit hard to stabilise.  This image has corrected its angle and cropped to 8x10.
