Just read your lens details, that's pretty impressive, I bet you're smiling on dull days, you must struggle to get motion blur.
I think the bird is to central for my taste.
Looks good that oly system, maybe Rene will get that next year.

Problem with the Oly E-1 (5 year old technology) and unfortunately all the subsequent models is that they only have 3 AF points, so it is difficult to offset the subject - hopefully the long awaited E-1 replacement, now coded "P-1" and not "E-3" will have a few more AF points, but the latest cameras 410/510 still only have 3 AF points - Oly need to wake up and improve this aspect of their bodies, they are well behind the competition, strange that they build world class lenses, but cannot get their act together to have Pro spec bodies that can utilise their "top pro" lens range performance.

The Oly 150mm F2 doesn't have a USM/Silent wave motor in the AF system, but it is still darned quick at focussing - I would rate it just about as quick as my Canon 500mm F4.5 lens
