I needed a long lens that I could hand-hold for an upcoming assignment. I took the Leica 200/2.8 on my last trip but that thing is humongous and there is no way I could hand-hold it. I also took the 100 Macro which works fine on the M240 but I wanted to use it with a 2X extender and, for some reason, I couldn't get it to mount on either the 2 or 1.4 extenders. So I ordered the Fuji 55-200/3.5-4.8. I just started playing with it but it looks like it might be better than I expected. Here are three examples from this afternoon: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/157976037 http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/157976087 http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/157976088 The lens has Image Stabilization which seems to work pretty well since that last one was shot at 1/13 of a second, hand-held! I know I need to practice some with focusing (which seems to snap in pretty fast) and exposures at 200 which is really 300. I'll be shooting some more tomorrow. Suggestions are welcome! C&C greatly appreciated. Tina -- Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com tina-manley.artistwebsites.com
