Camera

Post by FrozenInTime »

I have been using a camera I received from my loving wife last Christmas, thinking of getting a new telephoto lens. Does anyone have any experience using an Olympia PEN? I've been reading some on the lens' and camera, I'm thinking hard on this one.

If you can find a 70/300 zoom you would be MUCH happier with that. You will find 150 really doesn't give you much.

I've looked at those but they are twice what this one cost. This one is supposed to be equal to a 300 digitally. I am also looking at the weight. I thought about those bigger lenses, if I went that way I think I would want a different camera body. The PEN is a 4/3, or mini camera.

I will keep looking, maybe I will find one on sale somewhere in that size. I don't want to spend $600 for a lens for a mini.
