The grebe and robin with worm where taken with my old Olympus (low MP) through my first scope.I just put those few on there because i like them.Since we last spoke ive took the Whitethroat, Cormarant and Bullfinch... the Bullfinch is the one i'm most disapointed in because he posed for me for ages and i took loads of shots on a varity of settings and re-focused 3 or 4 times and still didnt get a sharp pic... also his red came out orange, the same could be said of the cormarant..loads of shots, the whitethroat was figity and didnt hang around.I can say i can see some imrovement but not enough, i'm looking at getting a hoodman loupe to aid me in the field with my focusing... i cant believe the price of them for what they are.I dont know the E-PL1 Gene but i have always liked Olympus cameras, my old one was a nice one in its day.Jon</blockquote>
