Saw some really nice pics in this tread with this lens. Love the first birdphotograph of Tripper. And it's very good for flowers too, Raf!
I did hestitate a lot about this lens, but I finally bought it in Toronto.
I needed a stabilised longer reach. I did make some decent pictures of the wedding of my niece on Wolf island, which I will not show without there permission.
The first two are from Wolf island and the other two from today.
Thanks for looking, Michiel

That is why I hestitated but some people can make good photographs with it.
Till 150mm it is quiet good. It is not as sparkling as the kitlens but you have more stabilised reach and that is important to me.

Beautiful images Rafael. I just bought one and have not used it much. It would help my learning curve if you could please show the tech data.
Were they handheld or on tripod, illumination, focal length, diaphragm, shutter speed, ISO, Raw or Jpeg?, AF and mode or MF, stabilization mode
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Hallo Peter,
no secret in there
#1 : 200mm iso100 1/800 f5.6 handheld (outside shot)
#2 : 136mm iso320 1/200 f5.1 on tripod (shot inside a greenhouse, quite dark there)
#3 : 78mm iso100 1/2000 f6.3 handheld (outside, backlight)
All shot in RAW, converted and worked up with Silkypix. Manual focus. OIS on.
My personal guideline for shooting with this lens handheld, is to use a shutter speed faster than 1/x where x= focal length. Otherwise, you are at risk for blurry images !

Well, I started this thread and it seems to run and run. I eventually sold my Olympus ZD 50-200mm f2.8 and bought the Panasonic 45-200mm It's no way as good as the ZD but it autofocuses quickly and is half the size and weight. It also cost less than half the price I got fot the 50-200mm. I'm reasonably happy with the results from it. Here is a typical shot at 200mm.
The big difference is that with the 50-200mm I could happily operate at full aperture and blur the background.

The Village of Eden, Wisconsin held their annual Fireman's parade today. I used the G1 with the 45-200mm. It did a better job than my D700 did last year!
