Hi all.
Just got a EPL2 with 14-42mm II lens. Could only manage a cheap fantasea Nano strobe (GN 12). I was hoping I could use the strobe for some close up work... and also shoot in ambient light for wider shots.
However I've been playing around with the lens above water at home (dark out, standard living room lighting levels). The min aperature of 3.5 - 5.6 really seems to make the lens struggle. The shutter speed is from 1 second to 1/50. Thats at an ISO as high as 800. I'm getting blur on stationary objects so no good for UW.
It's not half as dark as it will be at 20 meters, making me think the 14-42mm is going to be near useless unless its used close up with strobe?
Anyone got experience of this lens with ambient light?
