Mike, I bought the Panny L1 and an Olympus 11-22 mm lens in mid-May. A week later I shot a job on spec with them. Last month I closed a licensing deal on one exposure from that shoot that paid 70% more than the total cost of the equipment. I've not produced any paper prints at all, the publishers took the product as a digital file.
That's certainly a lot cheaper than if I'd been shooting film for that job. (BTW, I shot the job with both the K10D and L1. The particular photo selected was made with the 11-22 @ 11mm focal length, about the same FoV as the K10D + DA14. It just chanced that they preferred the particular framing I captured with the L1 ... I was actually just testing the L1 and shooting side by side to see if the image quality was up to snuff for my work. :-) Godfrey On Nov 14, 2007, at 3:14 AM, mike wilson wrote: > He eliminated (many of) those in-camera.
