These are pictures from my 2nd day of testing the new Panasonic GX7. Today I used the Olympus 45mm lens, and stopped for a couple hundred pics. Needless to say it was a slow commute. Notes from the rides:

1. There are some really big propellers near the trail in the shipyards by the Ship Canal trail.
2. I finally saw the fire training area being used!
3. The harvest is happening – grain freighters have been loading at the terminal for the past two weeks.
4. I have a really beautiful commute! Must never move…

Enjoy!

Some pics from a test I’m doing comparing an equally lensed Panasonic DMC-GH2 (mine) with a new Panasonic GX7.

I really like the feel and build of the GX7 so far, and the photos look great. Now I just need to figure out if it’s worth the upgrade.  Can you tell which pics are GH2 and which are GX7??  I’m using the same lens on both cameras (Lumix 20mm f1.7), so it’s a fair comparison.

Anyhow – this is my Rivendell Hunqapillar set up monster-cross style with dyne lighting for the winter commute.

I really like the current revision of this bike with:
1. Albastache bars (mustache 2)
2. Clement Xplor MSO (40mm) tires
3. Flat pedals (VP)
4. SaddleSack Medium bag on front rack

It has been a fast, comfortable ride for the longer commutes I’m doing now that fall is upon us.
