As mentioned in my earlier post, I have finally taken receipt of the Lumix G Vario 14-45mm lens that I have waited a couple of months for.

I had to dig out my old Leica point and shoot to take this one. I do like how the 14-45mm looks on the Lumix GF1 body. It’s similarity to the appearance of a rangefinder is emphasised with this lens. The only real gripe I have with this lens is the size of the focus ring. Having been used to the 20mm prime lens, with a focus ring about the same size as the zoom ring on the one above (the wider one), the focus ring on the zoom lens feels fiddlely. I realise that its comparable to the setup on SLR lenses, but its just feels odd when switching between the prime and zoom lens.

However, that is my only real concern, it is a great lens, and is much quieter than the 20mm lens, especially the auto-focus.

A couple of test shots, of some mushies growing the veggie-patch.

I like the above shot, especially as it was naturally lighted. It came out well.

Of course, just for fun, a pic of the pup. He’s very camera shy for some reason, so he’s not the greatest of photo subjects…

Next Saturday is the Canberra Photo marathon, which I have entered, so hopefully this time next week, I will be able to post another photo update (with some exotic animals, or so I’m lead to believe…)
