A first few - fading light, drizzle, heavily overcast... but still pretty sharp and punchy. Both at 100mm and f4.

It's a Meekat, and you may have noticed that I reacquired the lens! One came up used on WEX and I convinced myself that it wasn't too big.

You need to sell a 30mm prime to offset the cost I think!

All with the E-M1ii:

All with the E-M1ii and the 12-100. I'm no birder, but I'm impressed with the CAF on the Seagull shot - I took a sequence of 6 shots as the bird moved across a bridge with rapidly changing distance - all were pin sharp.

Hi, I think it focused on the background... Can happen if the focus point is larger than the subject.

Yeah I'm not sure, have you tried some of the classic 'brick wall' shots, etc?
