On a trip to India the year before last I wanted to travel light so I took this lens as my only longer-than-standard focal length option. I was absolutely delighted with the quality of the images that it delivered.

Try to clean the contacts of the lens with a humid cloth. DON'T USE ANYTHING AGRESSIVE! It could change the surface of the contacts and destroy the contacts. <br /><br />Anyway, for me it solved the problem and it is now part of my routine, something like once a month, if I'm a lot in dirty environement (just now in Patagonia there's a lot of volcanic ashes) I even clean more.<br /><br />Hope it helps you.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />AndyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11548627908545302777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-85439005723266333542015-12-17T05:16:53.826+08:002015-12-17T05:16:53.826+08:00Hi Robin, that's a great review with splendid ...Hi Robin, that's a great review with splendid images. Congratulations.<br />I own a EPL-3 camera and a few lenses:14-42 mm II R kit lens, 45 mm 1.8 and 40-150 mm R. But, I'm sad because the 40-150 lens does not working properly now; first all I didn't get focus with it, auto or manual mode, and finally I don't get any image from it, the camera screen remains completely black. The electric contacts look in good shape. I have tested the camera with the another lenses and all is working fine. Can you advise me about this problem? Thank you.

I only paid $119 and believe it is certainly well worth it. Your pictures are more interesting than those I shot - well the birds seemed to know you and pose so perfectly. I don't have a bird park but I do shoot food for books so I think I'll try it out on some veggie burgers cooked not as burgers but as a vegetarian roast for the holidays. Then update my website: www.veggiepowerburgers.com eBook with 31 burgers, vegetarian, and vegan and gluten free optins. Thanks for the review and amazed at shots you took at 1/20 sec.

It's like the Black Rapid in concept, but more versatile as well as being less expensive. More than strong enough for an M43 camera. I have the heavier Utility Sling Strap because I used to use it with a Canon 7D. This one is better suited to mirrorless. http://optechusa.com/mirrorless-sling.html<br /><br />I even clip lens pouches to the sling so I can travel light yet have an extra lens or flash handy. Much more comfortable than a neck strap.DaMacGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717951097686080309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-31720426832717540972015-12-15T04:41:11.536+08:002015-12-15T04:41:11.536+08:00Hi Robin, very nice pictures!

I find it excellent especially in view of the fact that I have to carry all my equipment in my backpack for many hours when I go to the mountainside. It is fantastic how little my present photographic equipment weights! I bring with me my e-pm1, 14-42 kit lens, 40-150 and w-con wide converter and I have with me focal lengths from 22 mm to 300 mm (equivalent) in less than a kg! Add a spare battery, a couple of filters and that's it. For this type of shooting high aperture is not required, and the optical quality is excellent (to me).
