I liked this f/11 shot the best. It is not perfect, but tells me that this lens would probably work for me as a walk-around lens, and possibly for informal portraits. I plan to explore its use to see what it can do for me. Thanks for your suggestions. http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=467&g2_page=2 Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Norcutt" <chucknorcutt at chucknorcutt.com> To: "Olympus Camera Discussion" <olympus at thomasclausen.net> Sent: Friday, April 05, 2013 9:08 AM Subject: Re: [OM] IMG: Rainy Day Project > But you gave it a very tough assignment... shooting at f/2 from close > range.
