A day at the zoo

Last sunday, we went to the zoo toghether with my father and his spouse. It was a very nice day and all of us were having great fun. As promised, here are some pictures.

I must say I don’t like the PEN series’ kit zoom very much. It’s my wide-angle compromise lens until I can afford the new 9-18/4-5.6. It lacks contrast, hasn’t got very pleasant colors (imho) and is sharp only at the wide end. I really only use it when there’s no way around …

Before heading back home, we went to a very nice Italian restaurant nearby and enjoyed some really good salad, noodles and Tiramisú. If I remembered the restaurant’s name, I’d recommend it to you …
