E-P2 and m,Zuiko 75-300mm Lens
I recently hired the m.Zuiko 75-300mm lens for a week from Ian and Julia's hire service to find out how good the lens is. I have been very impressed with its performance but have to admit that the current new price, quoted by most dealers, is more than I wish to pay at the moment. Ian's review on the Four-Thirds User site highlights most of the features so I won't repeat them. Except to say the combination of the E-P2 and the 75-300mm lens is very comfortable and does not in any way feel unbalanced. In fact, I found that both the 14-150mm lens and the 75-300mm lens when cupped in the left hand feels more comfortable and permitted greater control of the E-P2 buttons and dials with my right hand than I normally experience with the 14-42mm lens. I have posted a few images below taken with my E-P2 and the hired 75-300mm lens (except for the first which was taken with my 14-150mm lens).

Re: E-P2 and m,Zuiko 75-300mm Lens
Thanks for showing, Ray. It's certainly a good lens and the relatively slow maximum apertures pretty unique to the 75-300 aren't a major handicap in use.
