Just a head's up prior to viewing this video. Don't expect a lot of action and views of the front line folks. I shot this from my not so excellent seat at the side of the stage. I don't typically shoot video but decided to shoot this video on a spur of the moment whim at the end of Nearly Dan's set at Jazz Alley. I had just spent the entire set shooting over 1200 photos and was pretty exhausted. It was a long day with over 90 degree temps and a load of landscaping chores were done prior to attending this event.


Excuse the occasional out of focus issues, but the combination of hand holding the camera a rental lens for over 10 minutes above my head yields what you view here.
The original video was over 10 minutes long and I decided to edit it down keep it brief.

First time with the 40-150mm lens and first attempt at video with the recently acquired E-P5 so this is being posted for those of you curious to see what happens taking video with this combo in a typically lit nightclub event.

Video shooting was not allowed at this event and those who attempted shooting with their phones were quickly shutdown and not in a nice fashion I might add.

Video shot hand held with Olympus E-P5 with Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 lens.

You are welcome. My video shows what is likely a worst case scenario where the operator was clueless on how to use the equipment for video at the time of the shoot. That said, I am now interested in purchasing the lens based on the quality and range of the photos I shot at that event. I also used my Canon 6D with a 135mm lens and while the difference between the Olv versus Canon setup is evident in the clarity of the photos and more, I found the photos from the Oly and 40-150mm lens very satisfying in color and clarity and of course the range of zoom was great for my purposes.

Here is a resized and processed shot.
