Now that is a lens I had never heard of before. I will have to look. Great self portrait BTW, how many attempts did you need to nail focus? Three or four, I think?
I used a 7" tablet and the Smart Remote app so that I could gauge the focus, frame, and release the shutter. It works pretty well.
It's quite a lens. Typically viewed more as a collectors item than a shooting lens. The big draw for me is it's compact size and low weight compared to other lenses of these specs (Canon, Nikon, Zeiss, & Leica's 180mm and 200mm f/2's). I've had the Nikon 200mm f/2 AI-S for a few years, which weighs 2700g. But the Olympus is a "mere" 1900g.
Thanks, hadn't thought about using the remote app.
Just read up on the lens on the net, quite a gem you have there.
