[Official thread] Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f2.8 PRO

[bhtan83]

In general I don't go beyond ISO3200 when shooting with MFT unless necessary

Me too. I had to push to 6400 to prevent camera shake as I was in a very dim room. However it's still an easy fix.

Just came back from my Yuanyang Rice Terraces phototgraphy trip. This lens is just amazing!!! Am very glad to have it with my trip!

Here's a few shots done with this lens and my trustworthy EM5. Havent got time to sort out most the shots... Just posting the OOC jpeg. But I love the color, sharpness and fast AF.......

Thanks for sharing the rice fields pic which is very stunning

May I know what focal length, f stop and speed you were using?

I am eagerly waiting for my 40-150 and good to know that you are also using EM5 with it.

Cheers

If I remember correctly, I was using aperture priority mode+spot metering. All shots I meter the rice fields' reflection. The top shot was zoom to 150mm wide open -1EV ISO800(it was shot during twilight). The middle photo was at 40mm and bottom at 150mm both at f/8 ISO200. Oh! and this lens is also very good for portraits shooting too! Yeah the EM5 is quite good with the 40-150mm(except maybe the high ISO noise not so good with the first shot).
