Flies everywhere...Custer State Park, SD. I love that you can see the little sharp dots in the air around them.

Anyone has any portrait shots? I saw a couple on previous pages in this thread....someday, I'd like to pick up this lens.

There's a giant portrait above your post ;-)

The 150 definitely requires some working distance...but I'll see if I can't find some candid family shots of my family where I used this lens.

One more quick portrait snap...Like I said, you need the working distance. In this case I was shooting from the parking lot, while the family got a head start on the trail. It was insanely bright out...hence all the squinting.

Splurged on a photo pit ticket at the Oregon International Airshow today. Other than a few shots with the 8mm fisheye for static displays, I exclusively used the 35-100 f2 and the Little Tuna. I have tons of pics to go through, but I couldn't help taking a quick look through the card...

With the EC-14, right? Otherwise, the EXIF data doesn't make sense.

Just out in the garden this morning with the E-M1.i and the EC-20, chasing my hummingbird friends. First time using this lens and first time shooting hummingbirds, and the light was quite poor so I was at ISO 1600 most of the time, so lots of work still to do. But wonderful nonetheless.

You're already putting the lens to better use than I did! I'm super glad its being used!

Just spent a week diving in Roatan out of Infinty Bay; I sacrificed some of my luggage weight allowance that could otherwise go to duty free booze to bring along the Little Tuna instead. Here's a couple of my favorite topside shots...

Watched my adorably serious niece pitch yesterday. On one hand- shooting through a chain link fence definitely affects the shot; on the other- she was pretty tired by this point, and I'd be dead now if not for the backstop...

I bought this to photograph birds, but I have to say, it makes truly gorgeous portraits. It just nails the foreground-background transition, and just renders beautifully.
