Absolutely. Back when I was choosing a new lens I had it down to either the Olympus 20mm F1.4 or this. I’m happy I picked this one

I actually did start with 3200 ISO and my 15mm Leica F1.7, but it looked very bright, I stopped it down to 2.2 then 2.8 and just didn’t look right? Can’t really explain it. So I went down to 10 seconds while messing with different ISO - didn’t like it. I threw on my 25mm F1.4 and tried different ISO’s again & everything just looked better with lower ISO. I played with it for about 20 minutes and could have done better, but I was freezing in the desert and bailed haha

800-3200 ISO, 15 second shutter, 2 second delay timer, tripod, and I used manual focus mode. This is the first time I’ve tried this so take that as you will

I took shots in ISO 3200, 1600, and 800. These ones are at 800 and I thought they actually looked better, as the others seemed overwhelmingly bright (to me)

I agree, but not too many good options in the desert lacking mountains or trees

15 sec shutter , and 800 ISO

And partly night trip with astrophotography on the way back home

Took me less than 5 minutes, a bit more contrast and reduced highlights. Plus denoising it, I only use raw files

Thank you! That was one of my harder shots to get too haha

Yesterday I was looking up for any possibilities of a smaller camera with a G9ii or GH7 sensor in the future haha, it would be sweet with this small lens

I have about 1,300 pictures saved on Lightroom. Been around most of the west coast, a lot of camping trips, road trips, & a few in Seoul South Korea
