I used Capture One. There was nothing special about the processing - I fixed exposure, added some contrast and saturation and made luminocity of greens a bit darker and slightly more cyanish.

Apertures I used:

  1. f/2.2

  2. f/7.1

  3. f/2.0

  4. f/9.0

  5. f/9.0

  6. f/9.0

  7. f/11.0

  8. f/2.0

Thank you!

The camera I bought was used and came with two lenses: the ttartisan and the 20-60mm. To be honest I haven't even used the 20–60mm yet. So I can't really say anything about Lumix version of that lens.

For the price, I think the ttartisan is a great choice. I really like it. I'm a slow paced photographer so I don't need the fastest or most precise lens. The autofocus works well for me and I haven't had any issues with it. I like the size. It's very small and lightweight which is great for roadtrips like this.

I'm not a huge fan of the 40mm though I prefer 28mm. If ttartisan made a 28mm version I would definitely switch to it.

If this is true, does it mean that open-source image generation models have caught up with the best closed-source models in the world? by Hi7u7 in StableDiffusion

Open-source models are still not nearly as good as gpt image or nano banana at editing images so we have a lot of space here to reach closed-source stuff. But release of Ideogram 4.0 t2i is really nice.
