There is no substitute for good technique. Excellent shot, well done.

Tulip trees are Magnolias, yours looks like one of the Acer family to me.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I ran a local camera club for a few years and one member had an OM-D camera, I don't know which model. All the images he posted always looked over-sharpened to me.

You may have just convinced me to stick with what I have. Thanks.

Good point, but . . .

I'm just not using the primes; I much prefer the ability to frame a shot with a zoom lens rather than cropping in post. I did a weekend trip to Valencia a few years ago and took only one body and the DA 12-24mm 1:4 lens. When I got back and looked at the images, I wondered why I'd spent so much money on all the other glass I have. That one lens was all I would need for most of our city breaks.

The primes I have are an A 28mm 1:2.8 (I use it reversed sometimes for macro), M 50mm 1:1.7 (never used), DA* SDM 55mm (never used very much), and the three FA Limited lenses 31, 43, and 77mm. I've used them so rarely and having decided against going full frame, I no longer need them.

Whether I can actually bring myself to sell them . . . time will tell.
