Fair enough, but I'm personally still not convinced it's worth the price difference. Once the 45mm drops to about $450 I'll grab one for sure.And in the bokeh. The background on this shot is a bit on the jangly side.

LOL ... That'll never happen.Fair enough, but I'm personally still not convinced it's worth the price difference. Once the 45mm drops to about $450 I'll grab one for sure.
Sorry for the late reply.nice ... if you don't mind a question, how well does the IOS work ... I mean when focused on something hand held at say 15cm ... your image looks lovely, I'm guessing it wasn't tripod based?
Sounds like a great kit. The 7-14mm is next on my list. I've been putting it off for more than 6 months.Well, my regular GF1 or G1 travel kit would be this:
7-14, 14-140, 20mm, 45mm
With this kit I get everything I need and the 45 macro gives me a faster lens for portraits and macro.
This kit very easily fits (along with mobile phone wallet etc) in a small bag or my North Face waist pack that also has a (detachable) shoulder strap.
so I have keyboard dyslexia ... (as you know) I've got the lens, but thanks again for correcting the trivial. Seems odd for someone who hates getting bogged down in the trivial.I've seen you post "IOS" in several messages ... here and dpr.
I was an early adopter who went ahead and purchased the lens because of the potential versatility. It was in transit from Japan when Andy published his review on the other photo forum. I thought "Oh s**t!!!.....Why can't I embrace the TRAILING edge of technology?"When I first read the reviews of the 45mm, I thought "underwhelming at that price". After seeing some samples wide open, I began to reconsider, based on my photographic interests and working habits. Eventually, I ponied up the cash and purchased one.
And now I am just older......:ROTFL:How I lusted after that camera at the time. But, young and perpetually broke it was just a dream.
