    Balancing Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm Lens

    With or without an ND filter on the lens, the balance is front heavy, and requires balance weight on the gimbal as shown in earlier pictures I posted. No need for a balance ring.

    Balancing Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm Lens

    Here are some pictures of my balancing of the lens. I purchased lenses (both the 12mm and the 45mm) used, and the hood came with the 12mm, but fits both. Balancing weights are velcro attached, and purchased off eBay from a UK source. Hope this helps.

    Which is the sharpest lens for X5 for still images?

    Sounds like they make one for Android tablets as well. Let me know how much for a ipad mini Base and an android base for the Nexus 7 (4 1/2" x 7 1/2") Base.

    Which is the sharpest lens for X5 for still images?

    Mine is supposed to arrive today as well. It has been a slow ship due to the weather here. Unfortunately it will be a while before posting pictures as it is the dead of winter here (and very windy on the Island) and I am a complete newby. Let's stay in touch - I just purchased a 45 mm well...

    I purchased one used off a guy in NF (on Kijiji) for $450, so there are bargains out there!
