Thanks Mike. I haven't tried any M mount lenses yet and for wide angle I have the Lumix 14-28 mm that I have also not used yet, but will do soon. I am very impressed with the build and optical quality of the little 75/2 from TTArrisans. A real bargain at $178.

Thanks Bart. Repairs are on my Spring to do list.Plenty of detail, Carl. But also reveals the shed is in need of some repair ...
Today I picked up my new S1R Mark 2 from the local camera store.
Like it so much. And in the evening made sure that it plays well together with my Godox V1 flashes ...
Promise: next time I will remove the dust from the object that I take a picture of. Take one that does not have so many scratches and finally use soft boxes or some white reflectors.

River birch along the road into Myers Park along Salmon Creek. The spring rainbow spawning run is well underway, but most of the fish have moved further upstream, closer to the impassible waterfall barrier in Ludlowville.
Lumix S1RII with AF 28-200 HHHR mode.
At the mouth of salmon creek on the east shore of Cayuga Lake. Took shelter from the cold, north wind behind the huge sentinel willow.
Looking northwest at the mouth of Salmon Creek
Same spot looking west towards Cayuga Lake west shore. Developed from a HHHR shot jpeg.

Initial thoughts after the first, longer weekend:
- ease of us: having used the Panasonic S5 II for a couple months and the S1R for a longer period, everything fell into my hand as "natural". For my type of use: I need to figure out if I can put the "motive" selection for the Ai-AF on one of the custom buttons. With horse-riding or in the show with mixed subjects this would be nice to have a one "click" solution to switch between "animal" and "human" mode. (I am not saying it does not work - I just have not tried so far.)
Funny that the other point really is: remove the function from the front button that starts video recording. Happened unintentionally quite often to me. Funny: means, that I was grinning at every "reviewer" who reported this ... sounded unisono like someone from Panasonic was asking for it.
- Autofocus: so far just the best remarks. It works really somehow faster than the S5 II and I am impressed how the AF-C sticks to the selected subject / object. But the horse riders directly approaching me was the fastest stuff so far. I am soon going to capture some table tennis competition.
- Picture quality: still need to print large but what I have seen on the large screen so far looks top notch.
- Overall: I like the viewfinder, there Panasonic delivers! Wearing lenses as well as glasses is comfortable.
Experience is based on using the camera with the Sigma 31mm 1.2 and the Sigma Macro 100mm 2.8. Looking forward to either the Sigma or Panasonic S Pro 24-70 mm 2.8 on which I have to make my final decision.

I finally managed to disable the annoying front video button. The link is for the GH6, but basically the same procedure for the S1RII.

Practicing my HHHR shooting with the S1RII and 28-200 and since I'm unable to do any processing yet with the raw files i have been looking at the Photo Style settings for jpegs. Found this setting "Leica Monochrome". Pleasing grayscale rendering, but I don't know what qualities one would look for to identify it as "Leica Monochrome".

Couple of HHHR shots using the Lumix S1RII and 28-200 from a walk around the ponds at the Cornell Arboretum. Note the schooling goldfish in second image and following closer view of one of the goldfish schools. The goldfish will probably start spawning once the pond water warms up close to 70 degrees F.
