ptomsu Posted January 3, 2008 Share #21 Â Posted January 3, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) The 25mm Summilux works great with my Digilux 3. I have the body's AF assist light enabled. It is odd the E3 does not have that feature. Â It has that feature, but it is the built in flash sending strobes to help the AF focus :-(( Â Maybe I am missing something, but so far I did not find any other AF light. Â One of the main reasons to go for the E-3 was to have better support for avaiable light through its more advanced low noise at higher ISO - which works great. But not being able to use AF under these conditions is really odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Hi ptomsu, Take a look here D3 with Olympus Zuiko ED 50-200mm plus EC20. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ptomsu Posted January 3, 2008 Share #22  Posted January 3, 2008 Michael:im considering this lens as well, i was wondering how is this lens working on your D3 ?, is it sharp ? does it focus fast ? im looking photgrapgh gynmanstics ...... low light / action shots  any advice if it would work ?  thanks  If its low light and you want to use AF it might be worse than the 1,4/25, because this allows more light to fall on the AF sensors as the 50-200.  Despite of that I did not have any issues when focusing the same subjects under the same light with my 12-60, even without AF assist it was sharp.  So maybe it is a problem of the Leica lens (made by Pana). Maybe only my lens has this issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 50-200mm lens will only arrive at the shop around the 15-20th Jan and then it will have to make its way across the Atlantic (2-3 weeks including customs) to get to NZ. It will be my pleasure to post of few test pics - I would estimate this to be around the end of Feb/beginning of Mar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
