Got 2 more Olympus quality camera lenses 50mm F/2.0 macro + 14-54

[Robert****]

Actually I have 3 ones purchased the last couple of months, and I really like them!

I have a 70-300 mm telezoom, I like it a lot.
I recently got a 50mm f2.0 macro, and I LOVE it! It's fantastico.
Then today, I got a 14-54 2.8-3.5mm general zoom, and I haven't had time to play with it.

Here's a photo of our dog Bamse, taken with the 50mm f2 macro lens. Incredible sharpness with this lens. It's bright and works wonders in low light situations too.

Wow thats a fantastic photo Robert!

My wife bought a new camera last week, a Nikon 3000D with a Nikkor 18-55 mm f/3.4-5.6G ED II lens. Excellent photos from that one too...

Thanks, I am very happy with this lens, and it is clear to me a person does not have to go with Nikon or Canon in order to get fantastic photos.

Here is one of our 6 year-old sweetheart Amalia.

Those are all well regarded lenses, Robert. The 50f2 is a class leader, the 14-54 is a lovely general purpose zoom and a real step up from the kit lens. The 70-300 is good but you might want to consider a body with image stabilisation to get the best out of that one.

Thanks Mark, yes I am considering getting the E-620 which looks awesome. Its swivel viewfinder would be great for interesting shots with the camera at ground level... and from what I have read, it's is a vastly improved camera overall, especially compared to the E-4xx cameras.

It gains about two stops of dynamic range and about one stop of noise performance according to the pixel peepers. Live View is pretty slow, personally I find it unusable in my e-520 but then I'm used to viewfinders. Built in IS is the killer app though. The photo below was shot at 1/10s with a 200mm equiv. focal length, almost five stops slower than recommended.
