Congrats and enjoy! I sort of envy you, having that first excitement with the Z---I've had mine for 6 years now, my longest run with any digital camera.
Quote: waiting for extension tubes to arrive. first pic with the fa120 macro, didn't nail focus... which is a little more critical on mf... but whatever, happy to have better colors. nice to learn that the handheld rules are the same on mf. i wish the 120 was a little sharper, but maybe i'll have to back up a little and use f8 or something.
hmmmm....it's plenty sharp....I have found that I need to apply a bit more sharpening to my Z files than other files----or rather, that they are more tolerant of that so I can push them a bit.

great lens, but it will make you appreciate the size of the 120. Of course, there's the stabilization and weather resistance...
Quote: as for the few casual portrait shots i did quickly, seems like a lot less time in post, things just look right more quickly, unless i'm dreaming.
You're not dreaming!
Quote: the dfa55 is great!
Yup, really great. Welcome to the family, and enjoy some of the other lenses you can get at also screaming deals----get the 150 right away.
