An impulse purchase, I picked up a Panasonic GX9 body recently ... brand new but half price. I have a good bit of FourThirds and Micro-FourThirds gear still and this body reminded me of my old favorite Panasonic L1 from 2006, but shrunken down and updated with a better sensor and scads more sophistication.

I have a bunch of Leica lenses and, of course, I have the Novoflex mount adapters to fit Leica R and M lenses to mFT bodies. I was closing up the house the other night, the Moon was a day or so past full and beginning to wane, and as I looked up, I noticed that the dust in the air had subsided enough that I might get a decent Moon shot...

Panasonic GX9 + Elmar-R 180mm f/4 + 2x Extender-R
ISO 200 @ f/8 @ 1/13 sec

Not too bad, considering the air. :)
