It was a nice light morning in Anchorage so I took my Z1 to Potter Marsh to watch the sunlight sweep over the marsh that yields glowy colors with mountains in the background, the morning train to Seward in the background. The marsh was created by the railroads construction decades ago and now reclaimed by nature has moose, bear, eagles, and it is a 10 minutes from my hime, With Fred's work as my guide I too found F4/5/6 was optimum for what I want. The large illumination circle of the lens is useful, by sweeping through the F stops 1.5 and 2 are quite soft for a scenic as Fred shows, gets better at 2.8 and by 4 to 5.6 is very nice. The detail and sharpness is nice and the glow is apparent comparing the eye view to the EVF view. The DOF at 4 and 5.6 is remarkable. This is F4 @ 400 iso. I'll have to try with film on a MP soon using this setting with this DOF. Aside from scenics I'll have to give it try with a fishing port and its activity. This is just a quick edit, might be worth a deeper dive later.
