If any UK members get the chance I recommend you get down to your news paper shop and buy todays (Saturday 20th Feb) "Daily Mail".
Make sure you pick up the Weekend Supplement as well, as there is an excellent article about the latest Wildlife Photography Challenge and the various class winners, there are really good photographs included in the magazine.
It is interesting to note that the cameras mostly used were Canon and Nikon plus the odd Sony and Lumix P&S.
It will be be 90p well spent and you also get a free print of Monet's Poppy Field Masterpiece to hang on your wall !!!

Bugger! I've just part ex'd all my Canon stuff for Olympus - LOL. Thanks for the information.

You made a good moving to M43, you won't regret it, I have been using Olympus for some time now and love mine.

Jerrin1 Loc: Wolverhampton, England

Loving mine already. Could no longer comfortably carry 8Kgs of APS-C about but this new stuff is so light. I am using the Olympus 40 - 150mm f2.8 Pro + 1.4 TC for long range at the moment; but have the Olympus 300 f4 Pro and Panasonic 100 - 400mm on pre-order. I have an Olympus 60mm macro for insects and the 12 - 40mm f2.8 Pro for family pics.

Good job you pointed that out. I wouldn't hang the Mail up in the outside privvy these days. But all to no avail, no copies left by this morning.

I agree it's crap paper, I only buy it on Saturdays because I like the supplement for its TV schelules etc.

I have two Olympus cameras, an EM10 with a Panasonic 20mm prime lens and EPL-1 with a Panasonic 14-45 mm zoom.
I use the EM10 most of the time and use the EPL-5 when I need a wider angle or more zoom.

I've pre-ordered the 300 f/4 as well, but I wonder how well the weather sealing on the Panny 100-400 will work on an OM body?

Also, will dual IS work between Panny and Oly?
