Olympus 4/3 lenses on Micro 4/3 bodies

I have noticed that people have asked in the live streams about 4/3s lenses on Micro 4/3s bodies.
I use my old 4/3s lenses a lot just wanted to show the quality of the images.
A couple of grab shots of my cat.

I loved that lens. I see one in excellent condition for $420 USD. Even the adapter is half the price on the 50-200/2.8-4 m43 lens. But that 2.1 lbs (995 grams) vs 1.4 lbs (665 grams) is a lot for me, even though the optics are better than the 40-150/2.8 or the 50-200/2.8-4. Was this shot at the long end?

Hi DeMorcan, yes it is a very good lens, I agree with you a bit too heavy on the M43
bodies but I only use this one occasionally.
The images were both shot at 1/320 sec. f/3 123 mm ISO 200 indoors.
I wanted to maintain the native ISO for quality reasons, and use the widest aperture
to gather as much light as possible, I think considering the focal length, aperture and
ISO, a shutter speed of 1/320 sec. isn't too shabby indoors.
All the best TonyB
