Someone's going to have a fun day.

Have been tied up since I got back. Lens did well focusing, better than the 45-200 4-5.6 but not that much better hit rate. Limitation of the af system at this point. Images are definitely sharper/contrasty'er though. Wonderful piece of glass though. Will post pics in a couple of days.

Looking forward to seeing your results.

OK, finally got some time to choose some photos...

Nicely done! Good balance between shutter speed for motion blur and crispness of rider. Which lens and body was that?

has anyone tried the panasonic 35-100mm with this kind of shooting subjects?

 

[TomServo]

Not yet but I plan on trying it out. While I like the 40-150 it is heavy for an mft lens which goes against the reasons why I got into mft in the first place.

Very nice. You can check out what FL you used for most of your shots. That will tell you if the 35-100 is a good alternative.
