[QUOTE="Neil, post: 1435827, member: 1568"] Rob, For most people it still might be too early to buy into the Micro Four Thirds technology because the kit lens only works well (unvignetted) with fixed eyepieces with good eye relief ( 20 mm or more and wide FOV ). For zoom eyepieces it would perform better with a fixed lens, like the 25/2.8 Pancake. The problem with this lens is that it is not internally focusing which means you have to find another way of setting it up on the scope to get Auto Focus. I have a balance bar to do this but using the Swarovski DCA approach is so easy. Once Olympus and Panasonic come out with my lens choices then this camera should really takeoff. I should also mention it's a very good walking around camera in it's own right with good macro. Neil [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/7892550@N03/sets/72157613397600969/[/url] [/QUOTE]
