Does the A7r have better IQ up to 20 x 24? Or what is the differences you see at any size? I have 15mm (Leica/Panasonic), 20mm Panasonic, 12-40 Pro.

Thank you. I noticed you are using an Olympus. I just got the 5 mark II and so far I like it. Any shortcomings or hints?

I use Nik Silver Effects Pro 2 as a plug-in to LR5 to edit and adjust my black and white images. For those of you who do the same, what is the best way to adjust the image in LR before sending it to Silver Effects or should I just do all the adjustments in SE? In other words does it make the process easier if I open the shadows, reduce the contrast, etc. before I move it to Silver Effects? What is your suggestion?

Just what I wanted to know. Thanks.

Is there a way to buy an upgrade from LR 5.7 to 6 and not have to buy the subscription? If so, how do I get it and how much is the upgrade?

My new Olympus 5 Mark II allows you to overlay several images on one frame but it's cumbersome. Is there a way to do this in Lightroom 5.7, a plug-in, or another software program (not PS) that lets you put several (RAW) images onto a single frame?

Could I also use the Olympus software included in the box to convert to DNG that Lightroom 5.7 would read? After conversion then put them into the library?

I just learned from Adobe that in order for Lightroom to read the RAW files
from this new camera I have to purchase the subscription because the stand alone version of Lightroom 6 will not support these files. I only use Lightroom as my editing software (with Nik plug-ins) and don't want to purchase the subscription (I'm also happy with Lightroom 5.7 that I now own that reads all my other RAW files). Is this true? And if so does anyone have any work-arounds or suggestions? I also have my entire library in Lightroom.

Thanks...do you find the Olympus satisfactory for your landscapes?

Context: I've had the Lumix GX-7 since it came out and 4 lenses, including the Leica 15mm and the 20 1.7. In the film days I shot with Nikons and also have a D300 and 3 good lenses. I don't use any of that heavy equipment any more and I should probably sell it. I shoot most street scenes and some travel and landscape all with the Lumix. I want the best IQ possible in a light camera. Since I have the lenses for the Lumix I figure I should stay with that system. My question: Is it worth it to replace the GX-7 with the Olympus E-M5 Mark II for mostly image quality reasons? Are there any other suggestions (like lenses etc) that you can offer?
