The Lumix 45-200 has joined the family!

Recently, E-P1’s little family has been joined by a new member – the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-200/4-5.6 O.I.S tele-zoom lens, which is currently the only tele-zoom available for Micro Four Thirds. The lens is quite large and heavy (in MFT terms), but just a blast to use! The size of the barrel offers substantial grip, aiding at stabilizing the camera. The 90-400mm equivalent zoom range is just awesomely versatile, and above all, the lens is incredibly fast focusing.

Here’s a picture created with the Four Thirds Matching Simulation that shows how the lens looks on the E-P1:

As I have only had it for two days I didn’t do much shooting yet, but I will post some sample pictures soon.
