I do however already have the 7-14mm f/4 so I'm not sure it is worth getting the same focal length just for 1.3 stops more. At least the 17mm f/1.8 feels like a completely different lens to the...

That's right, it had exactly the problem that you describe. I did return it today but I told them to contact me when they get another one in stock. I will try it out again. But this has also given...

Did some more test shots and it seems the field curvature is extreme in this lens at long distances. Looking through review sample images I don't see this much field curvature on other copies so I...

I picked up a copy of the lens today locally after trying it out for quite a bit in the store. It was the last copy and they are quite hard to find locally. Has a 14 day return policy so I took it...

I currently own the PL 25mm f/1.4 and Panny 7-14mm f/4 UWA lens and like both very much. The PL25 is my go-to lens and the one I shoot the most with. I also have the Oly 45mm f/1.8. The Oly 17mm...

Thanks for the replies. I think I will give the 100-300 a go and try it out before I go. I'll likely order it soon and I won't be going until the summer so if there is an issue I will have plenty...

Trying to figure out the best option. I already have the Oly 45-150 f/4-5.6 which is a decent lens but I will need more reach as I am going to the Masai Mara in July. I have an OM-D E-M5. I am...

Quick update - I talked to Olympus on the phone a couple times and they were quite helpful and told me that they basically have a flat fee repair structure. So all in my lens is going to be...

Thanks for further replies and I tend to agree with some others in that it may fetch more than 20-25. If we can summise that MF is not that important to many people the only thing really wrong with...

Ok guess it's not worth the hassle of selling for 20-25. May keep it as a paperweight :)Will insure my gear now when I buy it again. Especially before my planned trip to Africa next...

Unfortunately took a fall with the Oly 45 on my OMD and although I did my best to shield the camera the lens basically took all the impact (not a scratch on the camera). There's some minor damage...

Fantastic set. The landscape shot is great too.

When I had a Pentax DSLR system I had up to 7-8 lenses. I then went down to around 5-6. Then I sold out of the Pentax system and got the OM-D and have 4 lenses that essentially cover everything I...

No not my video. Once I found out about the issue I just got my OM-D replaced as it is obviously a defect. The change also resulted in a switch form the black to the silver model. Having had both,...

Thanks Doug. The canoe was the one I used to get around :)There were still some black flies but lots of mosquitos, and they love me. I got eaten...

Thank you Kirk. Algonquin is a captivating place. If interested wiki has good info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algonquin_Provincial_Park -- Sinan http://sinantarlan.zenfolio.com/

Thanks Rube. It's one of my favourite places. -- Sinan http://sinantarlan.zenfolio.com/

Haha thanks! -- Sinan http://sinantarlan.zenfolio.com/

You have a defective IS unit, that's what causes that. I know because my first OM-D had a similar problem when I held the thing in portrait orientation, it becomes more apparent at telephoto end I...
