i use Olympus E-520 (for now, untill fortune falls out of the sky and i'm able to buy E-5 )
this lens also has "macro" mode at 105mm ,but i woul prefer calling it close focus, it goes up to 1:4 magnification
close focus shot of the modelling manequin that is on my car's dashboard , it's about 10cm tall (about 4 inches)

Then maybe likely the same. The earlier of the AF zooms were 14/12 and then it changed to 12/10. The early one is the more highly regarded. I love mine and find it very sharp, very low CA, and dead on with its focusing. It's an early AF, so its a bit noisy. If what you have is the same lens in AF, I suggest holding onto it and giving it a good workout to properly assess. I have two galleries from mine; one misc, and the other from the Amelia Island Concours last year where this was the only lens I brought.

I think he is 5 - 6 years old (still hardly any gray round his mouth).
The way of looking doesn't depends on his age, but how he reacts on what he sees.
They have a great variation in expressions available! |

Has fortune fallen out of the sky? Nice results. The Minolta 35-105 remains my go to lens for AF and the best of only two zooms I will use. _________________ Regards,
