Hi
The following threads shows the power of fast lenses.
I currently own a D70 + 80-400VR lens and an assortment
of other lenses and I pre-ordered the E-300 at the sitex show
- hopefully I stand a chance to get it for free!

One interesting note is that in iraq, a lot of
journalists use the E1 because of the weather
proofing - can use in rain and dust ..
the E-300 has the same weather proofing features
and looking at all the HANDHELD shots using an
F2.0 lens, it would blow away all Canon IS and Nikon VR
lenses..
A friend of mine has the SG$12,000 300mm F2.8 Zuiko Prime
He can take shots with 1 hand and beat my D70+ 80-400VR
anytime.. the focus on the Oly E1 is also so fast that I did
not believe it.. its very much faster than my D70 AFS.
I understand that the new Nikons next feb may feature
an antidust system too. But it is the weather proofing
that I am truly interested in.
I think anyone daring to use the E1 and E-300 in the rain would
be maximizing the usage. I surely wont bring out my D70
in the rain today .
I think anyone wanting to concentrate on wildlife can surely
use the Oly E systems to its max.. the f2.0 150MM + 1.4 TC is actually
440 MM.
If you STACK the TC, you should get over 600 MM at F3.5 approx.
and that would be cheaper than an F2.8 300MM .
Once I get the 300, I'll give it a good run and if so I may clear out
all my Nikon stuff.
The 150MM is around SG$3661..
