Olympus E-1 Sample Images

[Photo-John]

A couple of weeks ago a big box from Olympus showed up at the office. It was an E-1 for me to play with and test. So far the most impressive thing is the 50-200 f/2.8-3.5 lens. It's really light and fairly small, and it's equivalent to a 110-400mm lens on a 35mm camera. It's really impressive and fun to use. Both of these photos were taken with that lens.

The first one was taken through one of the office windows at a 35mm focal length equivalent of about 300mm, at f/3.5 and 1/125th second.

The second image was taken in the morning as the fog rolled back over the mountains to the ocean. It was taken at ISO 200 and the maximum focal length of 200mm, 1/640th second @ f/6.3.
