I saw this lizard with his mouth open and I could just see the pink tounge inside. I focussed on the tounge and not the exes this time as I wanted that pink to come out in contrast to the rest of the image. Again wide open I maybe should have stopped down half a stop. Generally though, I like the image as dark as it is.

This one was taken wide open and I was was pretty close to the subject with the hood of the lens resting on the plexiglass. If you look closely you will see that I got the front of the eyes in focus but the nose is not quite sharp. In future I need to stop down to maybe f2.5 or f2.8 when photographing at this close range. Live and learn again. 

I like taking this type of shot just to see how accurate focusing is with certain types of lenses and it gives me the chance to see how the bokeh is with these lenses wide open. I'm not complaining about this lens at all. It looks quite good.

I found it quite difficult to photograph at this aquarium because of the distorsion caused by the pexiglass installed. Just an inch in either direction made a big difference to the image quality and I lost quite a few images to this effect.

Having only used this lens on a couple of occations and only for a short outing, I'm not quite sure about it. Either it's me not used to the focal length or the lens isn't quite as sharp as others I have seen on the Internet. I need to use the lens for a longer period and do some tests with it before deciding if I'll keep it or not. I'm thinking now of the Tamron 18-200 if this doesn't work out for me. Might take me some time to decide this but I'm not really in a rush to do this. I have my beloved Olympus 14-150 which I think is a wonderful lens.

I've photographed these froga before and every time I do it they seem to be in the same position doing the same thing; sleeping. However it does give you a chance to focus accurately and here it was the eyes on the first frog. They're quite large actually and I don't think that comes over very well in this image. However this lens is ideal for this type of photography and the OM-D did very well with the WB in differing ligh conditions. I didn't use auto-WB but changed it on the camera to what I think the WB was at the time.

I hear it all the time, shallow depth of field is not possible with the m4/3 format. I think this image disproves that once and for all. This image was taken at f2.8 so not quite wide open. Manually focued on the eyes again and I think f2.8 was ideal here. If I had used the lens wide open at f1.8 not even all of the eyes would have been in focus. The longer the focal length the less DOF you have. I wonder what the 75 f1.8 is like, it must be extremely small and careful focusing will be neccessary. I'm still thinking about that purchase but I'm holding off for now. You never know, the price may come down in a couple of months (I must be dreaming).
