Olympus E-1, Olympus 150mm F2 and 1.4tc, Monopod. iso 200, 1/2000s at F2.8 - equivelent lens length 420mm ouside of the 4/3rds system
First outing with this lens had a lunch break at Regents Park to see how the AF speed would hold up. I initially thought the focus system was a bit noisy compared to Canon's USM system when playing with it indoors, but outside in the real world it is fine. It is extremely short in size (unlike Dave's shot of Godzigma...) and very light compared to the CaNikon 300mm F2.8's. And the sharpness - ouch, even with the tc

Nice shot Mike. That lens should go well with the x2 converter which is being released this year.

I'd like to have seen an eye - and I think you should rotate the image a little as the water is flowing downhill. (Maybe it is?)
