Hello All,

Besides looking sharp, nobody mentioned that it must
have been very cold with all that snow out there.  I
remember in the old days cameras had to be preped for
cold weather not to mention frozen battery issues.  I
see the E3 held up well, even the IS.  How long were
you and the E3 out and about?

I have wondered just how much the Image Stabilization
in the Lympa E3
 helps....

For the answer, I went up on the hill, where I could
look over our 
little town...

Two shots... the first is with the 50~200 Zuiko zoom
(at 90mm - hand 
held).  The second is with the Leica 400mm Telyt f6.8
.... also hand 
held. Without the use of the pistol grip or shoulder
stock.  This was 
indeed, "doin' it the hard way", but I wanted a true
test of the IS.

The framing in the second shot is off, as I find the
400mm 
(especially with it's 800mm FoV) hard to aim, without
the monopd or 
shoulderstock, but the results still amazed me!

Comments appreciated.
