ReeRay - you had some wonderful light for that portrait - and I think the lens must have had a lot to do with the character of the shot... simply wonderful!

Thanks for sharing

Cheers

Brian,
Those shots are great. I particularly like the composition of the first one. Took me a little while to figure out what I was looking at. From the photographs I've seen you seem to live in a really beautiful place.

I just noticed you have an E-PL1. How have your experiences with that body been?

Thanks,
-Devon

My cousin got married yesterday and I decided to use the opportunity to give the built in E-P1 art filters a shot.
These were all taken with the pinhole filter on an E-P1 with Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 lens.

Devon, that's an awesome set, particularly the last portrait... well done.

I've been jotting down my thoughts about the E-PL1 in this thread over on mu-43.

The only drawback I've found of any significance to me, is the lack of electronic levels which I rely on for landscape shooting... the user interface is improved for legacy lens shooting.

Cheers

Thanks Brian.

Your thoughts on it were very insightful. Most of the major differences you found between the E-P1/2 and E-PL1 seem like things that could hopefully be fixed through firmware updates.

so Brian... is the blocking out of shadow detail a function of the 20mm 1.7 or an aesthetic decision? I've found the EPL-1's processor provides a surprisingly good dynamic range...*




* or is it just smoke and mirrors I am witnessing?

Hudson, How can contrast detect AF be compatible with good resolution? Contrast ought be sky high (at the expense of resolution) in lenses like 20/1.7 so that they can focus at all (however "fast" they may be :ROTFL:).
