Why? I'm not aware there are QC issues with this lens.

The flowers are shaped like many salvias - but this isn't a plant I've seen before.

I'm not................. I'd cast it away without a care in the world, if need be - like I did my Canon 5D Mk II + 5 lenses, including 3 'L' ones!

It's just your comment seemed odd.

A sequence to show how the EM-5 can capture sporting action (warning, the light was dire so these aren't "good" images, just a play to show how one can "capture the moment")

I've read somewhere that shooting at 3.5 fps with single point SAF is a good way of capturing this type of action so gave it a go, it seems to work OK keeping good focus throughout (but with movement blur in the latter stages - did I mention the light was dire? )

All are crops of around 60%













(Rather than committing £1k or so on the new 35-100 f2.8 I've got myself a copy of the Oly 40-150 R to see how useful this range is. I'd read that it was a bit faster focusing than the 75-300 so hope it may prove useful for my BIF work. The light was so bad I had no real chance to play with that yet, but so far it looks to be a pretty good price vs performance option)
