I agree.  The lens does a good job.

It took me a few tries to learn how to navigate your gallery. Without realizing how it was divided for "clicks", I wandered all over the place. Very versatile once I got smarter. :-)

Last Wed., I went wandering in the Blake House Gardens. A favorite place to just enjoy on a mild, sunny day and also for messing about with gear. As I was playing with a lens, there is a lot of variety in subjects, from near macro to long tele. Cosi fan tutti? <http://galleries.moosemystic.net/MooseFoto/index.php?gallery=SFBayArea/BlakeHouse/January_27_2016>

I thought the shot of the GG Bridge more interesting than usual, with a container ship coming in and a couple of helicopters down close enough to the water to send up a lot of spray.

======================

For those who like a good GAS natter, I was trying out the tiny Panny 35-100 zoom. When I got my GM1, with tiny 12-32 kit zoom, I soon got a 45-150 to complement it. But I've never really used it much. Although small for what it is, empirical data suggests that it's not small/light enough to get much play when I'm out with the GM1.

With the GM5, Panny also released a tiny, collapsing, 35-100 zoom, which I ignored, what with the lens I already had. Using the GM1 recently, I really wanted something longer, but small, pocket size. So, I found a good deal on a refurb. This shooting session was about putting the lens through practical use paces, both for IQ and useability.

It doesn't focus all that close, so several shots are with 10 mm extension tube, which turns out to be quite easy to swap in and out with such a small/light lens, and the lens performed well at those magnifications. Then there's a 100% sample from a rather long, 12.5 mi., tele shot of the GG Bridge. More atmosphere limited than lens limited, I think. Pretty impressive for a tiny, consumer zoom!

In any case, the lens passed with flying colors. Anybody want a Panny 45-150mm F4.0-5.6 Mega OIS, not the power zoom model?
