My camera showed up this afternoon. (Finally convinced B&H that I didn't want to wait until the grip was in stock for shipping.) Been busy all day but got a chance to play for a bit tonight. Like the way the autofocus functions are controlled by the front and rear wheels when the button is pushed. Nice. Shot a few frames with the FA 35/2, since my 16-50 is still in Japan. This lens usually requires the most focus adjustment but seems pretty close on this camera. Was very pleased with the way the camera was able to focus in near darkness.
Shot my scotch in near total darkness. Focus locked right on. ISO 51.200, f2.8, 1/15th: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17588688&size=lg My scotch with the bar lights on, shot at a more reasonable ISO 3200, f5.6, 1/25th: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17588690&size=lg And Grace doing her homework, ISO 3200, f5.6, 1/100th: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17588691&size=lg Very pleased with the autofocus using this screw drive lens. Will try it with SDM lens next. Autofocus fine tuning for all lenses on the weekend. Then we're good to go.
