I have a new Olympus Pro 12-45mm wide-angle lens
It takes most-nice images of my library's (book)friends

I hope to shoot an entry next month with this new lens
I hope to share upcoming images with you my friends

I am so very glad AndyS is well and posting here again(s)

That is just great, your poem!

It has a charming cadence and rhyme that I really enjoy.

And it's true too.

Thank you.

'Bout contest time everybody else should just mail it in.

Thank you!

I do agree about the tools. The camera body and the lens are first-rate. Olympus makes great stuff.

Now as for me, I do have the eye. Talent? Well, maybe, sometimes.

You did make me laugh, which I needed, and I thank you!

I've never had such a wide angle before! I think I'm going to like it.

Loved it for landscapes, but a little tricky. Nicely done with the 12!

I use them as much as possible for landscapes.

I plan to use this as my walking-around, everyday lens.

Gonna get out today and see what happens!

Find a foreground object for the bottom of the frame and shoot at F/8. Everything will be in focus thanks to the great depth of field with an ultrawide lens.

I normally shoot aperture preferred and that should be easy.

Thanks!

It has an equivalent field of view in 35mm format of 24mm — 90mm. Great lens!

I look forward to seeing what I can do with it too.
