Off topic - there's a great thread on pentaxforums.com that use the three sculptured blokes as a collective tester for lens bokeh

Thanks for encouraging comments . I love to just grab the camera and go where ever I want .
I just bought this lens from ebay for USD329 -delivered via Fedex in 4 days from Korea. I think this is the best investment apart from my Panny 20 mm.I am shocked to see the colour reproduction . It gives to extra reach without intruding into someone's personal space and I like that. Cheers and Merry Xmas to you and ur family .
Cheers

Yes M4/3 units seem to be greatly accepted here in Oz - I do think we in brace new tech / better tech faster than other cultures. It's fun walking the streets around here and spotting the cameras, and it's not always the tourists either


Great shots and great blondes

Yes I agree .We adopt these gadgets quickly . I had a chat with few fellow MFT shooters and I told them about this forum as well . Actually that Blonde was really pretty and much better than so called Supermodels and 1000 times pretty , gracious and beautiful than Paris Hilton or Kim Kadriashan etc etc . I wanted to ask her for a proper portrait shoot out with this lens at some locations in the city .I will pay her for that . I will try again this week if she is still around . This festival will run till 3rd Jan .

These are wonderful! Very cool idea -- pix of people taking pictures.

I love your sense of humor and the way you captured the "just plain FUN!" feelings in these shots. Made me smile wide on a lonely Christmas eve when I have to baby-sit my three dogs while rest of the family rapes and pillages nearby retailers in the final moments before the malls close.

Merry Christmas to all. (And to all a good night)!

Thanks for compliments ..lol
I will show this to my wife.I think I will use and enjoy this lens the most. The major difference apart from stunning IQ is that It gives me extra reach and I don't intrude into anybody's person space . I like 20mm Panny a lot as well but something was missing . I can feel now what was missing actually..

One way to sell a lens, a really good set that shows the advantage of f1.7

Thanks my friend .This lens is spectacular and a must for any MFT user. It has 1.8 maximum aperture and not 1.7 , I think u had panasonic 20 mm in mind probably .
