Very cosnfusing ….. should that beCelebration of the Norwegian national day in Bangkok yesterday, 17 May.
On the 17th of May, Norwegians bcome very Norwegian, so I think the Norwegian variety is more suitable. We only say "Gratulerer med dagen" btw., as we also say on birthdays. Norwegians are supposed to know what day we talk aboutVery cosnfusing ….. should that be
Gratulerer med nasjonaldagen

I found 43 as good as any of my Sony or Fuji systems.No, I don't see any reason to go back to full frame.
Hey Jorgen!Oh well... I didn't get that natural smile that I'd hoped for, but she's cute anyway, isn't she?
This lens renders a bit like Velvia, if you see what I mean. I've even taken down reds and oranges a bit here.
GX8 with Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 @ 40mm and f/2.8
Four years earlier, same girl different camera, Nikon D810 with Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 AiS. No, I don't see any reason to go back to full frame.
It's indeed a very impressive lens, and totally different from the Panasonic 12-35mm. As for Olympus cameras, I will buy one sooner or later, but will wait until the E-M5 III is launched. I will also be looking for a 75mm (again).Hey Jorgen!
Now we are talking - the 12-40 is one of the most marvellous lenses I ever shot and it clearly shows in your photo(s). I compared it many times to Fuji and Nikon equivalents (equivalent focal length) and I was always surprised by how good the 12-40 renders. One of my main reasons to stay in m43 territory.
I like the image you shot with the 12-40 much more than the older one - both colours, sharpness and rendering of OOF areas.
Enjoy,
Peter
PS: you might want to try a EM1.2 (used or low price) as there are now a number of these cameras on the market meanwhile and you would love m43 even more
