Finally managed to get the 50-150S :-)

This afternoon I was out in central Singapore looking for a new tripod, and happened to look at the Samsung display in a Harvey Norman department store. Much to my surprise, I saw they had the 50-150 on display, so I asked the price. They quoted me a "limited time offer" of 1,799 SGD, or about 1,299 USD / 840 GBP. I figured that's as good as I'm ever going to find, so I bought it.

Only had it a couple of hours, but very happy so far. Just wanted to share that

Here are some random test photos I took this evening. Didn't have a tripod with me (I spent all my money on the lens, none left to buy a new tripod...) so I took the opportunity to test out the OIS. Hopefully tomorrow I'll test it out properly.

I was undecided for a long time between this lens and the MFT equivalents (mainly because of size and weight) but I think I made the right decision.
