Both are pro-grade lenses (weatherproof), both are priced similar, the 12-60 is a different lens (more reach) but the 11-22 is a bit wider.

 

I have the 11-22 and it's pretty sharp, even in the corners, even wide open. I also like it's finish, much superior to the kit lenses. I own the 14-54 which is a great compliment to it. The 12-60 replaces though the 11-22 and the 14-54. It all depends on what are your needs...

I would like to know if anyone has any experience with this device. How is the

transfer rate? Does the battery last long? I would really like to hear from

anyone how can answer my questions. Thanks.

The feeling alone of the 14-54mm is in my opinion way better than my old 14-45mm lens (I can't really compare it to the 14-42mm lens but I do know it is bigger and stronger). That alone was worth it for me. Also, the better F-stops of the lens is great, especially if you want to control the DOF. The lens also focuses very quickly, again comparing to my 14-45mm lens. You also add 12mm (24mm in film equivalent) to the reach of the lens. So, you end up with a more versatile lens. I don't regret buying the pro lens.

Where is that thread you are talking about in the Travel forum section? Thanks.

If you've got enough money, why not the 35-100mm? It has a constant aperture of F2.0 and is used by many to photography sports events, especially indoors. You will get a good EFL of 200mm...which is enough to concentrate on one end of the ice.

The pictures will look as sharp with the E500 when shot with RAW. You then have to develop it with Master or Studio and set the "Noise Reduction" to off. Results are amazing!
