Fun with the Lumix G X Vario 35-100mm f/2.8

Here I have a quick shot I took while walking around. It was handheld with the GH3 and 35-100mm f/2.8 @ 2.8. I have the slightly original size (cropped thinner) and a crop from the bottom.

Impressive lens and photos!

Jono - how is the ergonomics with the 30-100mm on the OM-D?
Addressed to Jono, I know but as I also use the 100-300 on an OMD I can also answer. It is perfectly balanced and using the OMD's excellent IBIS in body image stabilisation the lens stabilisation needs to be switched off.

I should add that I do use half of the Olympus vertical grip. ie not the bit that includes an additional battery. However I would imagine that the bare body would also handle the 100-300 very well.

I use it handheld for wildlife photography, a really great lens.

HI John
Dave has it - it's a surprisingly small lens, and it doesn't extend with zooming or focusing - it really isn't much bigger than the 12-35.
It handles beautifully (looks good too)

Here's a shot of the Hollywood sign. All the way in at 100mm and f/2.8 handheld. Heavily cropped and torqued in Lightroom 4.



Here's a shot of a coyote. This was handheld while sitting in my car so not very stable and not very much light. 100mm f/2.8. Bent in Lightroom 4.

I like this lens a lot. I wish the 12-35 was f1.4 or I would buy it as well. Here are some samples from the 35-100 on a GH3.

On a OM-D, at F4 or F5.6 can this lens replace the Oly 45/1.8 and the Oly 75/1.8
I own both the 45 and 75 now and shoot them both at F4 95% of the time.

Or are the Oly primes still sharper?
