Geronimo!!!

Panasonic DMC-G1, Nikkor 300mm f4.5

We went down the coast to Half Moon Bay and Pacifica today to see the big waves. Well, we've seen bigger, but I also took my manual focus Nikkor 300mm f4.5 out for a spin on the Lumix.

In case you missed the reference, U.S. GI Paratroopers used to yell "Geronimo!!!" when they jumped out of airplanes.

Hey Warren, is this the lens I gave you a while back? I like the composition with the rails providing a good structure, but not sure I like the Lumix's apparent chromatic aberation blue edge cast along the top rail. Do you think it is because of the high contrast and the senor's relative lack of being able to use the full resolving power of the lens?

hi Dan, yes, it's that lens. I don't think you're seeing CA. Look again, it's actually the blue sky reflected off the top rail. And I think the sensor is up to the task with regard to resolving power of the lens. In terms of CA, I think the Lumix 45-200mm has more than the Nikkor (which annoys me about that Lumix lens)
