E-P3 goes to its first soccer game
First real test of the new M.Zuiko 40-150 lens as well as the focus abilities for sports/action shots.
Was a learning experience not using an eye-level OVF. Luckily an overcast sort of day so using the rear LCD worked OK, but if I reckon that to do this sort of photography at all seriously then a VF2 or VF3 will have to be added to the kit. No matter how light the cmaera and lens, the ergonomics of constantly extended arms is not fun, and you dont really get to see the image as clearly as in eye-level finder.
But very happy with the AF performance was as fast as a blink and accurate all th way through the zoom range, and at distance and at 2 metre close-ups.
Was using the auto-ISO, which chose ISO 200 for a speed of 1/250 at f5.6 (full aperture) at full zoom 150mm. Quite pleased with the image quality. Not sure if it common, but the zoom action is pretty stiff, which discouraged me from being too zoom-happy.
