Catching bread (thrown by the ferry passengers) on the wing.

As a precaution I took this combination with me as well as my Sony A7II with the Sony FE 24-240 f3.5-6.3 OSS. The combination works quite well but I found the 45-150 quite frequently to be too long and I had to switch back to the Sony system to get the wider shot. Perhaps the Olympus 14-150 would have been a better choice. It has served me well as a holiday lens up to now. Probably switch back to that lens after this experience.

This image was taken from the deck of a ferry and these seagulls know quite well what's going on. They almost always get fed with bread from the passengers. They followed the the ship for quite some time. It was interesting to see their acrobatic endeavours. Impressive. 

Tried this combination as my holiday do everything lens. Just dislike changing lenses when on holiday with the family. Takes too much time and irritates the rest of the group. Result? OK but it is rather large. I think I'll revert to my M43 or Fuji systems for this sort of thing. They offer ideal size and the results are excellent.

Wanting something in this focal length range for the Sony cameras I decided to purchase this lens. Now I've read some good reviews on it but also just as many bad reviews, so it seems that it's the luck of the draw when purchasing a copy. Mine seems to be an ok lens, I can't say anything very positive about it but nothing really bad either.

What could be a problem however, is the camera I'm using to test it, the Nex-7, which is a few generarion old. Even though it does perform pretty well with some lenses, it's not the fastest focusing camera on the planet, especially when compared to the newest generations from Sony. I think with one of the newer generation cameras this lens would perform a lot better. The images seem to be ok though, especially for web use. At some point I will aquire a more modern Sony APS-C camera, but the bank manager has put a stop to my loans right now .
