  • I'd forgotten what a nice lens the 40-150 R was

    and a couple of obligatory gull shots to see how the 40-150R works with the EM-5 mk2 for BIF (very nicely)

    Good use for that lovely little lens! Mine got plenty of use in Cuba, very nice travel lens.

      No 1 looks almost as good as an Aussie beach Brian - almost but not quite!
      Like the bird shots. I love that quiet when the grandies depart, but love the chaos too.

        I couldn't agree more Brian
        I'm fairly new to m4/3 and bought this lens for only £129 from Amazon.
        The main reason I went with m4/3 was for size and weight
        This lens ticks all the boxes.
        I still wouldn't say no the PRO version but it kinda defeats the purpose regarding the size/weight issue.

        Nice images!!

          Yeah, it doesn't have the great white sharks lurking in the surf and the salt water crocs!

            Exactly. I wouldn't have the pro version for this very reason - even if I could afford it!

              Well done finding such a bargain, Brian. Impressive GIF shots and that beach looks wonderful - almost tropical.

                Thanks John, we do have an amazing beach line with over 6 miles of sand alongside a beautiful bay

                and its only about 10 minutes from our house
