Thanks. We shot Fort Point many times (e.g. with 1Ds2, Nikon 3dx + 14-24, D700 + Zeiss 21mm) and the GH2 + 7-14 holds its own. Even 7 shot HDR works just fine.Nice gallery, Uwe. The brickwork at Ft Point is mind boggling.
Uwe,
Ron... cool image. And I'm always struck by something in your Detroit images... in that it seems like almost a ghost town, for a major city that is. Which can be very nice in some ways... very little urban congestion for driving, parking, no waiting... etc. Is that the way things really are in Detroit?
JorgenLouis,
I went through some photos, and found the following:
- The phenomenon exists only in the corners on my copy.
- It's stronger on the left than on the right, particularly the lower left corner.
- It is, as you indicate, stronger at shorter focal lengths.
- It's also stronger at 16 : 9 than at 4 : 3 (which makes sense in a way, but not completely).
- It's made worse by Panasonic's mediocre jpeg engine (I usually shoot RAW, but have some converter issues on one of my computers at the moment).
The 7-14 is an extreme lens in every way, and it relies heavily on computer assistance to do its job. I never expected it to be as good as the Zuiko 7-14 or Nikkor 14-24, but with the size/cost in mind, there's really nothing that comes close. The dilemma for me will be if, after I buy the E-5, I need the Zuiko in addition for more critical work, or at least the 11-22. Hum, hum, hummmm.....
Thanks Don, the only Lumix lens I have not been happy with, and sold it after a couple of months, was the 45mm Macro. I have been really happy with all others though, the 14-140mm Lumix is also a stellar travel performer.Phil... those are outstanding examples of what the magnificent 7-14 can offer. Thanks for posting those!
