That's interesting Brian, I've had a few stints as an extra too, seems to be
a lot of time sitting/standing around not doing much ! I think many people
enjoy the experience and will give up their normal job to do so.

Hello all,
A new experience; yesterday I spent about 11 hours as a film extra for a
local company. Interesting but much boredom as I was actually used for only
about 3 hours of that time. The $180 pre-tax remuneration made it worth
while. I didn't 'need' the money, but many of those present did. Quite a few
gave up their normal day job in order to take part.
2. Recently I had need to try the Zuiko 200/4 and 300/4.5 on the M5 for a
subject about 1 km distant.
I found them very
disappointing. Difficult to focus, much ?chroma? green margins on items, and
not sharp. The kit tele lens (guessing 50 - 150) was much sharper.
3. I wanted to use my Zuiko 500/8 but search as I did I could not find it.
My conclusion is that it also must have evaporated in our house fire. For
the life of me I can not remember where I had it stored then.
I have used both the 200 and the 300 on the E1 and the E3 with satisfactory
results, so for me the mirror reflex cameras are 'it' for those two lenses.
Brian
