Lenses used...

The first two (duck and marsh) were taken with the plastic fantastic Oly 40-150mm f4-5.6, a lens that can produce surprisingly nice output. The berries were taken with the PL 50-200mm with an extension tube, and the bee on marigold was taken with also the PL but with the 1.4TC (I might have had an extension tube on it also, but I don't remember; I was switching combos around a lot that afternoon).

Oh, and I don't plan on getting rid of the GX8.  It's a great camera, and I plan to use it in tandem with the GX9.  However, the improvements to IQ in the GX9 give it a niche that the GX8 has a bit harder time in, so it has definitely a complementary place in the gear lineup.
