That's an excellent photo! I agree that the 14-150mm is a great lens, I hope to be able to get one some day.

Nice photo but one of those subjects is very, very ugly.

The 14-150 is certainly made for such circumstances.

I really love the lens, I tried it at Bic Camera on my E-P1, it was amazing. Too bad the price isn't.

Yeah...I sold my 14-42 Kit lens to offset it a bit.....

I am NO ONE to question your methods, but why F9?

I used to shoot everything wide open.....Now I'm in the midst of experimentation........I shot some clouds/sky the other day at f/22......

Great choice of aperture. It brought out the sharpness of the lens by stopping down. The contrast makes it pop. The story of the photo is the surroundings as well of the two main subjects.

Great job!

we're on the same page then, I'm also in the midst of aperture experimentation. on the 4/3 sensor the depth of field is a bit different than APS C and I still haven't gotten it right yet.

Very sharp photo! The 14-150 is indeed the ideal "all in one" vacation lens. Great for video too. I thought long and hard about it before deciding to go with the Panny 20mm.

Lovely shot indeed! I'm really thinking of buying that lens but its kinda expensive here in Sweden :/

lisandra · « **Reply #16 on:** September 20, 2010, 10:52:31 AM »

I didn't know what versatile meant until I got the 14-140mm from the GH1 I got. They're both amazing lenses, sharp for their range and a good aperture too.
