70-300mm Lens
Just bought myself the 70-300mm Four Thirds Lens to go with my E400. Hopefully it will arrive on Monday next week, can then start playing & uploading results! It's not the pro lens - the max aperture on mine will be F4.0/F5.6 - Couldn't afford the pro lens at well in excess of £5K!
Will let you know how I get on - any comments or tips on using this beast would be appreciated!

Once I get used to it, I'll upload some of the results for condemnation!!!!!!! Lol!

Congratulations. That big a lens needs a tripod, especially at the long end. Have fun.Turbogirlie wrote: Lens arrived today - what a beast! This is one for the tripod for sure at 615g! (I have neck & shoulder problems so stability for hand held is an issue for me)

Ok, so I've had the lens out a couple of times. Some of you here on PT have seen these already on FB - sorry for the replication. Started with taking photos in the garden, to try & get a feel for the lens. Today tried to capture the birds on the feeders. Not overly happy with my technique with this lens - definitely more practise required. Was having fun, until I viewed the results on the computer.

I have an OM-1 and OM-2 in my collection, and lots of Zuiko glass. I won't sell them.
Hope you get more used to the lens. I'm sure it is capable of a lot more than you've gotten so far.
Nice start though, and glad you are using it.

I have the Katz Eye Focusing Screen as the screen which came with the Olympus E400 was, I found, very difficult to focus with. The Katz Eye makes it easier, but I still find manual focusing difficult with the digital, compared to the 35mm Film SLR I have.
