  • Logan plays on the iPhone, originally uploaded by john m flores. A still from a quick video I shot last night at dinner with my nephew. Panasonic GH2 with the 20mm F1.7 @ (IIRC) ISO800, F2.0, 1/50s, 24FPS. Manual mode. This result blows me away. The thin DOF is excellent, WB is spot on (look…

  • Welcome to the World, Ila., originally uploaded by john m flores. A gratuitous cute newborn baby shot. Makes this cold winter just that much warmer… Panasonic GH2 with 20mm F1.7 @ ISO800, F1.8, 1/50s

Here’s one of those rare circumstances when you can test two cameras using the same lens. The effective focal length changes of course when you move the lens from one camera to the next,…


  • Orange you glad you’re not a green apple?, originally uploaded by john m flores. One interesting aspect of M43 for me has been the use of zooms vs. primes. I’ve got the Panasonic 20mm F1.7 which is a fine lens that provides decently thin DOF when I want it and create a nice 3d effect…
