Thanks nism!
Just got a epl3 .these two day try to play around and ad bout photography. Totally newbie.
I only have the 14-42lense. If wan to take insect etc.. The lense can do the job well or I need to get other lense?the 40-150 mm lense mainly is for wat?
Added on May 20, 2012, 5:00 pmRain drop photo, wat setting or lense we need for a clear drop picture?
with the 14-42mm lense, you cant really take small insect picture very close. It has a minimal focusing distance, for your case 0.25m (at 14-19mm of focal length) / 0.3m (except 20-42mm of focal length) is the closest your lense can focus on. sorry if its too technical but its not hard actually, means if you hold your cam closer than the 0.25m, your cam not able to focus. so you can try this action by shooting a small object first, treating it as an insect with same size. and see if you are satisfied with the range. you can always crop the picture if you dont mind compromising the whole picture quality just to publish at web. If you mind, you got no choice but to get a pure macro lense
the 40-150mm lense is mainly for zooming far, its not practical in a tight space, very hard to compose a picture. this lens is good if you were to take motorsports, animals far ahead like birds, or even portrait to get a decent bokeh (background blur) but your subject must be standing a bit far from you
rain drop, you can take with any lense. its about setting your camera. for a starting, i recommend you set your shutter speed to as high as possible to freeze the rain drop. of cos it must not be too high depending on the available light, else your picture will be dark. try and you will learn

i think u have to read my post twice or more before u bring up your point
image quality,yeah 1 day 4/3 size sensor can be as noise free and as clear as full frame but thats not my concern as i don't pixel peep,my point is that they can't have the same subject isolation power as do larger sensor,that is not something technology can overcome because it is pure physic
for instance,i find m4/3 maximum bokeh ability with their kit lens at 42mm f5.6 is a bit lacking,even less so or just comparable to my xz-1 at 112mm f2.5,but i find adequate separating power with aps-c camera with their kit lens at 55mm f5.6, this means that i might be able to compose acceptable portrait shot with aps-c kit lens at a pinch
yes i know m4/3 consortium has create more lens than other mirrorless,it doesn't take a gadget nerd to know that,but i not contented with their any of their offering just yet,even widest aperture ie the 45mm f1.8 has just the same isolating power as aps-c sensor 50mm f3.2,and the upcoming 75mm f1.8 will be too long for my liking,150mm equiv dude.....and from the manufacturer statement they will always consider form over factor,meaning it will take a long time for them (if ever)to release lens with aperture greater than f1.8 which will compensate the sensor size disadvantage.
but i still wish to own the om-d because i think it looks great,the jpeg engine is fantastic (i don't shoot raw to pixel peep),and if anybody can show me that 45mm f1.8 is adequate to create lovely portrait,i might still gravitate towards om-d,thats the real point i'm posting here
there is still another option, the Leica 25mm f1.4 the bokeh is lovely. Even my prof photographer friend give it a high rating.
