We need more pics, so I oblige… Another one to see the rendering. Quite close up, so little DoF

We had an electrical storm roll through recently (it's that time of the year for Colorado) and I decided to set the S1RII up & use Live View Composite to see what I could capture. As I was letting it roll, I was disappointed in that it seemed that all the lightning was obscured by clouds. However once I pulled the images down I spied this one corner where there was this little window in the clouds and one bolt was nicely framed. So, after a super-tight crop (24mm shot cropped down to about a 70mm field of view) I got this:

P1104555 1.jpg
  • Panasonic - DC-S1RM2
  • Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | A (L-Mount)
  • 24.0 mm
  • ƒ/4
  • 10 sec
  • Pattern
  • Manual exposure
  • ISO 400


So, I really think this showcases how incredibly effective the combination of LVC & the hi-resolution sensor is. Had I zoomed into 70mm I almost certainly would have picked a different area of the sky and never recorded this delightful little scene.

It also makes me wish for a 60 MP sensor, but, in this scenario anyway, the LVC was more important. It got me the shot. Just love that little bit of firmware!
 
One of the first pictures with the S1Rii with the Lumix 50mm f/1.4 cropped and retouched in C1 (ISO 400, F/2.8, 1/60):

Yes, I know that at f/4 or f/5.6 the dog's nose would have been in focus, but I didn't have much time to change parameters...

Great capture.
The S-Pro 50 is super appealing to me. Although, with the Sigma 50/1.2 out now, I'm not sure I would make the leap. It would be interesting to see a comparison. If the S-Pro is like the Sony GM - which delivers nearly peak sharpness wide-open - then it would be worth it for me, even just for astro. The Sigma apparently needs to be stopped down to F2 (or even F2.8) to get "insane" levels of sharpness.
