Befor BW conversion

My first Nikon.  I bought this in 1989 (IIRC) as F4s form. Since then I bought MB20 and prism unit has been replaced.   It has rare P screen.  It's very reliable and stable camera.  It's heavy but, yes, capable of going very slow shutter with hand-held compare to any other body I own.   

With Nikkor Ai-s 85mm F2.0.  I have removed aka rabbit ear as it does not require and unnecessary ware inside the camera bag.

One of the fist shot with this lens; hand-held.

I'm talking familiar subject and I found quite like it.  I also found an image stabilization is very handy.
Image quality is typical to GX1.  I mean it's not quite there compare to Nikon dSLR (I'm not expecting) but very usable and good for what I'm using for.  This kit include other luimix lens will be very compact and handy travel and casual shooting kit like city walk.

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.
