Thanks Fernando, indeed, yes it is. I always say its the most underrated lens in m43rd’s. I have tons of images that I’ll eventually publish with it as its my primary lens in this system. I also just recently added the Oly 14-42mm IIR and that should be a lot fun.
Thank you Jorge.
I see a lot of optical magic on this lens from what I see and your images are a beautiful example of it.
I also love the B&W treatment you achieved searching for that “dynamic b&w” setting results. That tones (from the dyn. b&w setting on the GF1) are what made me strat with micro 4/3, although I got an E-P2 and the 20mm 1.7, which I love for b&w but not for color.
I think the 17/2.8 produces a lovely color also.
I hope I can get close to that tones somehow sometime, any tip very wellcome
Excellent Fernando, stay tuned here because I plan on sharing how I process my images with the various applications I use which are Lightroom 3, Silver Efex Pro II, and I just added Photoshop Elements 10. Also watch for an upcoming where I’ll share a Lightroom preset for RAW files which simulates the Dynamic B&W setting for the jpegs on the GF1/LX3 which you can use on your RAW Olympus files.
Thank you James. To give you a brief explanation on how this shot came about. I was walking by and I had actually passed the alley but her aloof position, like if she had lost her keys in the alley was the kicker, walked back a few steps and click.
Beautiful! And amazing tones.
Is this the 17mm 2.8?
Best,
Fernando

that makes me extremely happy!
Looking forward for that Lightroom preset and the whole lesson
Thank you Jorge
P.S.: Gracias por tu actitud generosa, sin duda ilumina este mundo convulso.
your sense of been in the right place at the right time is amazing. What a lovely job with your processing.
Thanks Rey, total coincidence, I suppose if one walks around enough things start to appear. 🙂
Very good Jorge! Definitely captured the sense of confusion.
Thanks Simon! She had that classic look.
Great capture!
