Timski6 (Flickr account here) decided to give his E-3 and ZD 12-60mm zoom the Bud Light test over the holidays. Click the image for the intended viewing size (photo used with Tim's permission).


Apparently camera and lens are doing just fine, though I cannot recommend that you try this at home. Tim posted this image in the DPReview forums and received criticism of both his test and choice of beer. Comments in the discussion included the following remarks:

"I can see the point of taking the camera on a photoshoot to a waterfall area or jungle or desert because of the weatherproofing. At least in those situations, you're actually using the camera for what it was intended. Reading these forums, I get the feeling that some Oly users would rather abuse their cameras than use them to take photos for which they were intended." (dk69483)

and

"Well, I never seen any pic in this forum from anyone that would actualy take pics in bad weather, all these users do is pour something liquid on the cams just for the hell of it." (200mm)

Tim's response was to link to this thread. Not a bad response! I can see why he has faith in his Olys.
