It's better that your wife likes you but not the camera and not the other way around. Quess you can't have it all. On the other hand, my wife loves the E-P2 but is also quite fond of me.. :) ...

:-) I suppose I should've mentioned that for the second shot I used the Zuiko 70-300. -- 'It's not staying in the same place that's the problem, it's not letting your mind wander' (Terry...

I suppose the first shot is my favorite because it took so little effort to make this shot with an e-p2 & 20 1.7 and the lens did exactly what I wanted. The second shot is a favorite because I...

Oh yeah, I forgot about AF speed. The 14 is really fast! The 2.5 aperture doesn't hurt either.. -- 'It's not staying in the same place that's the problem, it's not letting your mind wander' ...

I first bought a pen E-P2 with 14-42 kit lens and later added the 20 and 14. Since then, the kit 14-42 sits in the drawer (not that it's not good or anything). I use the 14 for walkaround (more...

Check my post "updated pictures", it should work. -- 'It's not staying in the same place that's the problem, it's not letting your mind wander' (Terry Pratchett) Miha Schrott

Ha ha, sorry, that was a typo! :) Yes, I will definitely try with the darks. As for autoguiding, that's a whole other story.. -- 'It's not staying in the same place that's the problem,...

Well it does require some effort. If you use a regular mount (regular tripod) and shoot for the stars you will find that everything moves. Actually the Earth rotates around it's axis so the stars...

Unfortunately you'll have to wait for the pictures of the setup, because it's all in my wife's car and she's off somewhere today. As for the description.. You need at least an EQ3...

I used a polar scope in the EQ3 stand and I aligned it as well as it could be done (I knew the position of the Polaris relative to the celestial pole). Unfortunately these EQ3 stands ar only good...

Thanks Artworx, these are now better thanks to...

No, not yet. Yesterday was my first try. I only had one battery which was empty in 3 hours (minus 3 degrees celcius at 1400m elevation) I will definitely look into it. I already heard plenty about...

Can you tell me what you did? It looks much better! Is it just the curves in Photoshop? -- 'It's not staying in the same place that's the problem, it's not letting your mind wander' ...

Will do tomorrow. It's not a big investement and easy to do. That is, until you try to get better pictures, then it becomes really expensive. -- 'It's not staying in the same place that's...

Who says the Pens can't do low light? :) I know these are not the all that good, but for what I used, I am pleased. All shots were taken with E-P2, zuiko70-300 at 300mm f/5,6 on a motorised EQ3...

Excellent post! But, in the first shot I also "saw" this (rather than explain, I drew it): http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6047/6322588221_bc62ef4819.jpg Cheers! -- 'It's not staying in...

No tripod, just my two legs :) The most critical was the shot with the mushroom (f/5,6, 1/40s, ISO 1000), if you can call that critical.. The other two were shot with open apertures so no problem...

Wow, thanks guys! Somehow I like no. 1 the most. All three were shot in RAW and processed in Lightroom (also some contrast and aditional vignetting added). I have more pix on the comp, but are...

Been shooting with only the 20 and the 14 on my pen e-p2 and really enjoying it. The 14 can be used for wide angle close-up shots which I found really useful. The first one is with 20mm, the other...

I have the Panny 20 1.7 on a pen ep2. On bright sunny days I use a Hoya ND8 filter and it works great. Get yourself a Hoya ND8. -- 'It's not staying in the same place that's the problem,...
