The improvement will be in terms of fast autofocus, sharpness, larger aperture for low light and better bokeh. Hope I&#39;ve answered your query.brandonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12264958880460342679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19833874.post-972698258602613512012-03-15T10:50:08.968+11:002012-03-15T10:50:08.968+11:00Hi Brandon<br />Great Article. <br /><br />Question about the Zuiko Digital ED 14-35mm f2.0 SWD lens <br /><br />I do product shots and sometimes portaits. I use the 50mm macro where possible. Sometimes I am in a tight spot without enough space. So I am forced to use my 14-54mm. It aint bad, but I see a bit of chromatic abrassion, and minimal warping. Would the 14-35mm f2.0 be an improvement?<br /><br />Jules<br />julesoille@hotmail.comJuleshttp://www.product-photography-toronto.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19833874.post-29644476688668416372012-02-21T18:16:17.835+11:002012-02-21T18:16:17.835+11:00I like the colours of the parrots.Lance Vun Vui Khienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13316656026169017275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19833874.post-4674825358924889532012-02-21T15:52:38.975+11:002012-02-21T15:52:38.975+11:00Hi...<br />Warmest greeting from Langkawi WildLife Park - Bird Paradise. <br />Thanks a lot for visiting us during your holiday.. <br />What a nice blog do you have and a very beautiful family.

Glad to be catching up with you again, and most importantly, seeing you make those landscape shots reminded me of your melbourne photos. <br />Miss the 7-14mm? hahaharobinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02572566037297158455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19833874.post-89662540681360218192012-01-08T20:10:31.081+11:002012-01-08T20:10:31.081+11:00I&#39;m on the process of deciding between these very two lenses.

Even the priest told me before hand that you better have a good camera to shoot in here especially when no flash is allowed. I shot in raw with default iso of 1600 and aperture between 2.0 and 4.0 ( although most pictures were at 2.0 because of such poor lighting) Of the 500 shoots I took focus was dead on 98% of the time and had sluggish focus only 3 times. After only correcting white balance in Apple Aperture the pictures were truly amazing. It was almost like How did I do That--produce such magical pictures. My experience is not scientific by any means but hopefully will give you positive feedback that the E-5 plus the 14-35 lens is fantastic combo!!John Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19833874.post-43341679581901016502011-10-04T09:42:05.717+11:002011-10-04T09:42:05.717+11:00As I understand your writings:<br /><br />&quot;So on with the tests! I mounted the 35/1.8 DX on my D3 and did some test shots. At f/7.1, 1/125 s, ISO 200, the vignetting is pretty severe. There&#39;s absolutely nothing you can do about it, unless you use the FX sensor with a 5:4 or 3:2 (DX) crop mode.&quot;<br /><br />..then the shots are &quot;normally&quot; D3-shots - it would have been very interesting seeing 5:4 shots ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19833874.post-58666809750266135302011-09-12T02:25:01.082+10:002011-09-12T02:25:01.082+10:00Was looking for reviews of this lens and this is fairly in depth,this is going to be my next lens of choice as I already have 3 sigma lens and 5 Olympus (2 been kit lenses 1 macro 1 180mm telephoto and the 8mm fish eye.I have the E3 SLR.So will be looking forward to this one.neilhbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11959239908000043884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19833874.post-11408053211015440452011-08-25T03:29:34.273+10:002011-08-25T03:29:34.273+10:00This is great!

As much as I&#39;d like to meet up with you, I&#39;m currently in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Not sure when&#39;s the next time I&#39;ll return to Melbourne. The 50-200 SWD will feel a bit front heavy on your 620, so a larger body such as the E-5, E-3 or E-30 is recommended. Hope you&#39;ll have fun with the 50-200.<br /><br />cheers,<br /><br />Brandonbrandonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12264958880460342679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19833874.post-8636482671099705062011-03-21T21:04:47.963+11:002011-03-21T21:04:47.963+11:00Brandon, This is the most informative review I have ever seen and you have given it so simple that any beginner to pro would understand.<br />By the way, I live in Melbourne and am thinking to take some photography lessons on my OLY E620. Also planning to buy 50-200 SWD after reading your review.<br /><br />Can you please let me know if we can catch up for a drink and discuss a bit more?<br /><br />rainsoft.001@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19833874.post-59082857408131438572011-03-19T13:56:04.765+11:002011-03-19T13:56:04.765+11:00love the pic shot using your portable Lastolite softbox..Funkyehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07271003742412086467noreply@blogger.com
