Olympus 70-300mm f/4-5.6

This is definitely one of my favourite zooms, cheap, lightweight, and able to do 1:2 macro

From macro to far away, probably the best bang for buck zoom that exists in this category.

Shot with: Lumix L-1

Taken with OM-D E-M1 using an MMF-3 adaptor.

Look at this smoooooth bokeh

**griffljg** · 10-24-2014, 12:24 PM

The bokeh is indeed smooth. - It rekindles my concern that there may be something wrong with my copy. With reference to my photo of a Spitfire model above, I don't remember the heat haze being quite as it appears in the photo.

Could very well be heat haze. Airfields tend to give off a lot of heat during a hot day, and remember you're really zooming into it.

Best to try a picture of something else to see if your lens is OK.

Looking through some older photos, found these today I wanted to share

A sassy little wren "hiding" in dead cedar branches. I haven't done much shooting lately, and just came upon this thread. Thanks, Edmunds.

One taken a couple of springtimes ago. It is a beautiful thing to live right on the Great Lakes and have eagles fly by the front window on a regular basis.
