Just thought it would be worth sharing this purely for interest.
Pentax-M 135/3.5 on my wife's Panasonic G2. Airbus 380 taken at the
Farnborough airshow last weekend.

Works well if a teeny bit soft - don't know whether that's the lens,
my
inability to focus manually or a bit of shake / movement. Of course,
on
the
Micro 4/3 system it's equivalent to 270mm. I'll get round to doing
some
controlled tests one day.
Airbuses (Airbi?) always look as if they're about to fall out of the
sky.
Karin got a nice bit of foreground interest in this one during the
Red
Arrows'
display:

That was taken with the Panasonic 14-42 lens.
that's easily the best shot of the set, I'm sorry to have to tell you.
I was
going to suggest you put it into next year's book, but I see there's no
Pentax involvement :o(
The idea was for Karin to have free rein for the day without me interfering
- after all it is her camera and not a toy for me! I just wanted to try out
a couple of Pentax lenses for real hence the last 3 pictures. Unfortunately
the battery ran out just after the Airbus did its thing and we'd managed to
leave the freshly charged spare in the charger at home. Guess who got the
blame?

Well obviously it's always your fault.
