thanks for posting those. any noise reduction in the iso 800 shot?

the first one looks a bit over sharpened but otherwise the 300 2.8 Z with the 1.4 on the oly E-30 looks like it's a real player!



Yea the first one does look a a bit over sharpened on my monitor (LCD) at work but not to bad on my CRT at home. It is getting old though. I really need to get a new one. I did do some noise reduction on the background but not the bird. It was a very overcast day and this is the reason I used 800. I was really surprised how well it turned out. If you CLICK HERE you can see 100% crop of the same shot.

Thanks for looking,
Tom
