With it being Hallowe'en some murky snapshots at dusk might be just the ticket!... I have no intention of posting murky snapshots at dusk of boring subjects.
Arrgh. I've wanted to visit the Canary Islands for a decade or more. Heck with the lens ... I'll just buy air fare!Thank You Tim
There's nobody more likely to make me press the button on a lens (it's a kind of compliment - I hear that they can be terribly effective )
You've pushed me over the edge, and mine should arrive on Monday. Perhaps Saturday if I'm lucky.
Emma and I are off for a first trip to the Canaries next Thursday . . . . . It'll be fun giving it the runaround amongst all that black sand!
all the best

Well just so's you have time to cancel the order if you like, here are some very unscientific handhelds from centre, far right and far left of frame at or around 1/25th and at 40mm and f2.8 with AF-S ISO 400... crops resized to 50% from RAW with a bit of sharpening. The focus was on the furthest left and right points but, unscientifically, the right hand shot is slightly angled.I don't think you need worry Tim - I fear that my standards are much lower than yours - and I'm sentimentally disposed to like Zuiko lenses anyway (currently I'm mostly using the 12-60 on the E-M1)
Must get rid of some kit though - I'm rather settled at the moment with the M and the E-M1, but I've tried an awful lot of stuff getting there, and it needs to be shifted!
Hmmm . . . Looks okay to me . . . I've not cancelled my order!And here are some 100% handheld wide open brick walls... at both ends of the zoom. I am assessing these on a Retina screen which approximates to my 'usual' print size of 20 or 21" on the long side...
