  • I have angst against anyone that rubbishes any brand or format and that includes m4/3 users in here that scoff at other formats or brands. We see it in here all the time. So angst against m4/3, ...
  • Tom is pretty much bang on up there Trev IMO. You only need to look at images from the Tamron 150-600 for instance at the cost it is. Toya here is shooting one on the Canon 7D MKII and fantastic ...
  • Replied in Hmmm, 400mm
    The FD 400 F/2.8l is one HECK of a lens ;-) I've been fortunate enough to try the EF version on a 5D MKIII. Amazing lens with no CA (typical with a fluorite element), but its a massive lens. I ...
  • Replied in Ha, howdy Justin
    Sneaking into the m4/3 forum huh :-) ;-) I must catch up on yours as well with the A6000, miss your shots. Yes sometimes the wider focal lengths just require waiting for the BIF to get closer. Wish ...
  • Interesting post John. On the E-M10 using around 90% taken with the Canon FD 500 F/4.5L and 10% taken with the 800 F/5.6L ......... http://birdsinaction.com/index.php/Olympus-E-M10/Birds But and ...
  • Been awhile since I tried the Canon FD 300 F/2.8L on m4/3, so went out Sunday with them for a shoot. Quite a few Cormorants in the river, but a few other birds as well. Cormorant and cropped a ...
  • Amazing what people think and exactly how close to sports they can get :-) Depends a lot on the sports. Motor sports requires long lenses depending on area, surfing needs long lenses, and sports at ...
  • Replied in EE-1 and BIF
    :-) You never know Chris ;-) You said the magic word mate "Fun". If it ever stops being that, then its time to give up. Fun and the challenge Chris, it helps us breath :-) All the best Chris and ...
  • Replied in I'm sorry HV
    Here you are taking shots of a captive bird and those details would be just as good at that close range as any kit lens I can think of HV. Take the same shots from 300 feet in the ..... AIR and ...
  • Replied in EE-1 and BIF
    Very nicely done as well Chris. Good fine details and nice BIF work. Interesting reading about the lens and adaptor as well. Working darn good by the looks and nice work from behind the box and lens. ...
  • Interesting use of the features there Trev and working well obviously. Nice clear shots and the gold finch details are impressive !! BIF's look great and still have good details going on. All the ...
  • But I don't see what that has to do with it HV. Yes, manual focus. Danny.
  • Replied in Hmmmm
    Look at the adverts on his site HV. Another Ken Rockwell with please click here, even a B&H main advertisers link on the main menu !!. He's a professional blogger HV ;-) I do have a fair idea ...
  • Replied in Hmmmm
    Who's a pro and who isn't HV. The thing is you can't question low res shots when you post a link in the OP that is low res. Just saying. Danny.
  • Replied in Looks okay ...
    But you link to a shot in the article that is low res as well HV ;-) In fact mine are larger than that. So what are you after. A larger shot but not from FF. If it can be done with APS-C or m4/3 it ...
  • Replied in Ha
    ;-) ;-) :-)
  • Replied in Its not that bad
    Try a Sony ;-) Its an art form Its not the gear Use full manual settings only and get rid of AF. Use a slow burst rate and use jpeg. If you can read logos, sponsors names, corporate names, etc, it ...
  • Replied in Crop factor
    Howdy Pete :-) Yeah the crop factor appeals even with the long lenses. You know how it goes with bird shots, we still need to crop basically every shot. The less I have to crop the better, but its ...
  • RAW only, full manual control only, no AF, aperture control is already on the lenses, ISO switch of ISO 200 and ISO 400 only. EVF only and get rid of the rear screen. No video and no gimmicks like ...
