Re: [OM] ebay special

[Chuck Norcutt]

I forgot to mention that, although I have never read a review of the 
14-150 I chose the two images below because they're at 150mm.  My 
generic knowledge of long telephotos says they're usually weak at the 
long end (probably the short end too but I couldn't readily find those)
ps:  The E-M5 is set for RAW+JPEG. Those are JPEGs straight from the 
camera as I haven't done any other processing on those ballgame images.
