Can you stick it next to the 50-200, if you still have it?
It's a good lens, and I am still using the E-5 for tripod work, so no intention of "getting rid" of 4/3 stuff yet ;-)
Weight: 755 grams (1 lb 11 oz) against 1205 grams (2 lbs 11 oz)
Sunhoods removed. Also tripod collar removed from 40-150, can't be removed from 50-200.
M4/3 40-150 and 4/3 50-200

Thanks, that helps put it in perspective, so to speak! Still love my old 50-200, but dropping a pound in weight is significant. I seldom use the E30 any more, since the 50-200 and 12-60 work so well on the EM1.

That's the non SWD, right?
On the side it says "ED lens" and beside that "SWD Supersonic Wave Drive"

Both photos: Hand-held. Cropped from the original to make them a bit smaller. No other PP. Aperture priority.
Golden Ears: Unfortunately, even though it is a beautiful, sunny day, there is a lot of haze around.
f/8, 1/800 sec, ISO 200, focal length 52mm.
Northern "Red-Shafted" Flicker: Found this guy on the sundeck when I came home a few minutes ago. He/She's been promoted to "clean-up crew" - usually he hacks away at the suet block, first time I've seen him on the ground attacking the corn.
Also, this photo taken through a not-so-very clean double-paned glass door.
f/8, 1/125 sec, ISO 200, focal length 150mm

Great examples. Oye, I was hoping to pass on this lens, but of all the lenses I sold, the 50-200 ec-14 gave me a ton of great keepers. This lens would make my job as a second shooter at weddings a lot easier.
Now I just need to break the bad news to my wife.

So show her your good-will: Start by asking what she'd like for Christmas. Then get yourself a jar or coffee tin or some such, and once a week put all the change from your pockets in there.
Collect bottles and return them for their deposits - put the money in the jar as well.
You'll be amazed how fast the money adds up (as long as you don't "borrow" from it). Then after a few weeks, your wife just may agree.. ;-)
So, these two photos and the one of the cross-stitch picture were just plain guesswork, using the histogram as a guide.
This coming week, I'm going to try and not so much guess as deliberately combine A, E and ISO. By next spring or summer, when we go on holidays, this lens should feel very comfortable to use.
