I'll have to remember to stop down a little with this lens but then I'd have to increase the ISO. I'm not terribly impressed with the high ISO performance of the E-PL1 but a bit of noise reduction might do the trick. I'll have to test it next time. It really doesn't make a difference if I use the E-PL1 or the E-P3. It's just that focusing on the latter is a lot better.
