Re: See my thread which tests the combo out

I posted a test a few minutes ago with the EM1 MK2 and the 40-150 pro at 150mm and f2.8

I shot cars travelling at around 70mph towards me. There was a lorry parked in the layby next to me so I had only a fraction of a second to initially acquire focus when the cars came into view. I then kept CAF active until the car was about to pass me. Shooting at 10fps with manual shutter.

There is a bit of heat haze which affects some of the more distant shots of the burst but other than that I would say I was getting well over 90% keeper rate... and that verifies what I thought I was achieving when shooting sports like football.

The lens and camera combo is performing better than any I've had before (which includes the Nikon D3s and D800 with the pro f2.8 zooms). Can't fault it.

If you worked for Panasonic, you would have had less than 33% keepers with the Olympus camera, consider yourself lucky!
