As Frank indicated, the E-300 probably needs a firmware update.
Moose's world-famous E-300, along with Piers' E-400 and an
ultra-low-mileage E-1 that was likely used for passport photos have
recently been added to the Zone-10 Living History Farm. I'm pretty
impressed with the E-300 and find it to be the design equivalence of a
"Stance Car". But it is a very good picture-taking machine. I like the
E-400 more, because of the size/weight, but the E-300 might be a
little better with dynamic range. Still learning them.
The 50-200 SWD should be on my short-list of lenses to acquire (along
with a 14-54 Mk2). While modern cameras have the more/better pickles,
there is just something unusual and enticing about the Kodak sensor
Olympus pictures. It's an optical "spicing" that gives a different
flavor to the meal.
