While there I saw a Fox across the field. It was too far to photograph with the kit I had with me.

I've actually been looking at the EP-3 with a 17mm. I like my LX7 a lot but it's hard to take stealthy street pictures with its lens all zoomed out.

Nice nettle and bokeh.

I will probably move up to the EPL5 or the EPM2. You should get some great deals on the EP3 now that new models have arrived.

The 17 will give you 35mm. I have the Sigma 19mm on my Oly. If you want a good zoom, look at the Oly 40~150mm. You can grab a good used version.

The Yashinon DX has wonderful bokeh. I haven't used it much lately because I have been in love with my Sigma 19mm.

remembered I did a bit of white balance to lighten the image.

Usually all I do with my images is white balance and adjust levels.
