Pretty bokeh. I like the second one just for the blurred background! You could crop out the tree and I would still like the picture. It's like a painting

I've been thinking about a 167 and this lens and it looks nice and sharp

Hi Kevin,
tell me what is your secret to focus because I never manage to make it sharp!
Regards

you are asking me to remember way back with this question... all the shots were taken with my old E-510 DSLR, so focus would have been through the optical VF, with the exception of the guy sitting, which I think I did using the lcd.

maybe it was a combination of luck and a reasonably high shutter speed

I must dig that lens out and try it on my OMD

cheers
