Stalker with stalker lens :bsmilie:

You bet. I might make a decent papparazi yet. It's quite shocking to be 10 - 20m away, on a crowded walkway, being able to watch someone's actions and expressions clearly without him/her noticing it at all.

Lighting was quite dim but pretty bright on screen. The camera settings says it all. And the pictures, though not tack sharp were pretty usable. Probably better results with a tripod but will be too obvious. To think that this is a humble 45-200mm zoom. Quite amazing.

[powergoo]

only 4/3 lens mounts with mmf-1 on e-p2

:bsmilie:cool i've got another choice on lens here

after checking so many posts...i think it's definitely better than the cheapo canon EF-75-300 series.
More like the older EF 100-300 USM nased on my canon background.

I think lens is priced right with IS included.

I think better to buy Lumix lens wif IS, juz in case in future we swop to panasonic bodies...still got IS..imho.
Of course if the prices & performance are similar.

I think the CA and distortions and all are not corrected in camera if its not on pana bodies. correct me if i am wrong guys.

 

[chuanzuya]

meaning i shud buy a lens such as 40-150 instead rite den will have corrections

What do you mean by function lacking? it should work flawlessly in terms of functions on any micro four thirds body

 

[chuanzuya]

ok thks spidey for clarifying.. cuz.. the 45-200mm is from Lumix, and im thinking of getting it for my EP-2 body, im worried that the distortion correction and stuff might not work
