So the 45-200 is gone, to be replaced by a panny 45-150, whilst we save up for some decent glass.

I use back button auto focus (so CAF). And these photos are showing the green 'in focus' squares in the EVF.

Just a quick update. I found a good deal on a leica dg 15mm f1.7 which turned up the other day. The brief initial testing is very promising, but since its a birthday present I've got to put it away for another month! We are still looking for a good telephoto lens. I'm trying to convince my wife...

Nice shots.

Thanks for the advice. Here's an example of the 'softness'. F8 at 1/1250s.

Thanks for the feedback. Useful stuff. I took my gear out skiing with me and tried to stick with the 45-200 all day. My main issues at the time was relatively slow focusing. It also lost focus several times, which has wasted annoying. Then came the biggest disappointment when I came to look at...

I'm just interested in people's experiences. Especially if there are any dogs to avoid, or gems that should be in everyone's bad.

So the next question is, what prime lenses do you guys like to use (plus examples if possible).

That's a great shot. Nice work.

I had a brief play against this weekend. Actually the 45-200 is working well, comparable to the Nikon 70-300. I think the difference is the weight and feel of the lens. Its performance seems OK. Still I'd like some nicer lenses!

The Panasonic 100-300mm definitely gives some great results. I think that has to go on my wish list. As much as I want the 100-400mm it's just too far out of my budget.

Has anyone else got any lens recommendations?

Thanks for sharing, that's helping.

I'm open to consider either, as the gx8 also has body image stabilisation, but it is a worthwhile consideration.

OK thanks, I appreciate it. I need to try similar style of photos and see how they look, I could also do a side by side with the Nikon and see how I feel. Either way keep the advice and recommendations coming.
