The ones of the couple on the motorbike also with the 1.4 teleconverter. Or this one from the week before (no converter, just the 100mm Apo Macro): http://www.fotocycle.dk:80/paws/uploads/2008/14alt11.jpg I use this combination quite a bit, and it works great. As for noise, it is not as good as the Nikon D3, but it is as good as my other DSLR, the Canon 1D Mark II. Olympus have done wonders with the E3 sensor, and I am pretty sure that the E-510 uses the same sensor.
