Trying this again - don't know, for the world of me, what screwed up
the layout in the last digest.
I'm passing this through notepad just in
case there are other formatting influences at work.
Or maybe it's my
choice of Courier Sans that's doing it ...
Thanks for the comments also,
to Chuck. It goes on display this weekend whether it will sell, or
not...

Very pleasant. Should make a nice print.

DZ 50/2 still under
test

Thanks, Bob. I'm hoping so. I bought a
couple pf bunches of daffodils at the local supermarket (to provide
variety and to avoid ravaging the few we have in our garden) and am
trying several compositions to provide a range of choice for
display.
And I'm giving this lens a work-out to test its strengths and
weaknesses. Auto-focus is an advantage over my mainstay lenses which are
all manual focus except for the DZ 35.3.5 macro (and the DZ 14~54 which
also close-focuses) , and given my increasing poverty of eyesight.
I
suspect that some of the manual-focus lenses are sharper.
My fleet
includes; OM 135/4 on manual telescopic tube ( and the 80mm which I have
not tried yet), the 50/3.5 Zuiko macro, the amazing 55/2.8 Panagor, the
Sigma 90/2.8, and the Zuiko 100/2 which focuses as close as 70 cm.
One
thing I have found with the E-3 is that shutter speeds slower than about
1/20 second are to be avoided like the plague even though I am using
tripod. Without an external stabilising weight (which I have not tried)
there is excessive loss of definition which in part must be due to
vibration. For some shots the tripod has been sitting on thick carpet,
or on "soft" forest floor.
