100% - a pixel's a pixel of the original. You see 2% of the original image.How tight a crop is that?
My second attempt at a "winter walk" this season - enjoyable, but also a bit of a scare because I slipped and fell with the camera in hand (and turned on); however, I didn't hit the ground at all hard (I was wet and somewhat dirty afterwards, but nothing hurt), and apart from some cleaning it needed, the camera doesn't seem to have suffered at all. Let's hope that this impression turns out to be entirely true. The camera acquitted itself very well otherwise - it was wet (snow melting, water dripping from branches everywhere) and pretty murky, and apart from some AF problems with very small targets in front of busy backgrounds, everything worked as expected. I really like the results, too - the 24-70mm f/4 is at least as good as the Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8 optically, which I think is quite a feat.

P.S. @gryphon1911 If you want me to keep out of this thread, just tell me; I think it's time for a Z 6 image thread (or a 24-70mm f/4 S one ...) anyway.
Yes, I do have a business .Nice set, Andrew. I take it you photograph for a living? I think I remember you mentioning clients.

That first link in my signature takes you to my website.
Yes, there were.So I went to your site, and looked at your Santa photos. Were there family members next to you, using iPhones while you were taking pictures?
Yes, there were.
That event is a special case where I partner with my local parks and rec department. They pay me a base fee and I provide the images for download for no fee to the families.
Yeah...luckily the parks and rec director understands what goes on. We've worked together since 2006.I have done lots of events for a school for free. I don't think parents realize (or maybe they just don't care) that they end up splitting the subjects' focus, with 1/2 looking at your camera, and 1/2 looking at them (or some other split). Lovely pictures, but messed up by the parent over the shoulder.
Great portrait work, btw. Enjoyed the site.
I gave up trying to stop others form shooting my setups years ago. Instead I just stop and tell people they are free to shoot as long as they're behind me so everyone's looking in the same direction, rarely have a problem when I handled like that.I have done lots of events for a school for free.
