I think it is natural - a lot of people have acquired either the Olympus 300mm f4 or Panasonic 100-400 lens. A lot of those photographers have acquired the lenses to photograph wild life .. most ...

like #2 and #4 - your models are posing nicely in those ones.

I believe you that you can recover highlights better with the Nikon 300. But this is because it is an APS-C sensor (i.e. larger) and has only 12MP, so larger photo sites. Dynamic range shout be ...

Assuming that they will use the same sensor as Pen-F we will not see a substantial improvement in IQ or resolution. Maybe there are still some tricks they can apply to get the best IQ possible out ...

Not sure i follow you here. Why would 14bit files help you to recover highlights better? I would think that 14bit vs 12bit would improve the tonal range but not DR. For DR i would think this ...

I understand that different lenses render Bokeh differently. In your case - did you find a solution that works better for you in the same situation?

I use LR to manage. I typically import after each day of shooting except when traveling. For traveling i found a hard disk with built in SD read for backing up while away. I have LR configured to ...

looks as if you removed the background with PS :) You definitely achieved your goal of retaining the feather detail! I enjoy looking at the results you achieve with the 300/4.

The second image i excellent. I can only imagine this requires the right strategy, technique and patience. Will have to try with the 40-150 - i think for bees you can still stay far enough away so ...

Agreed. I have that. Still think just a little short for wild life. I do not believe i will get the 300/4 though. Seems a little extreme in terms of price and what you can use it for.

Agree .. this is really a nice lens with a very useful focal range. The thing i love is that i can still have it with me most of the time since it fits in a fairly small bag with the EM1, 12-40, ...

Generally you will see a little more noise at same ISO than on APS-C and more pronounced compared to FF. However, specifically the ISO500 image looks off. It is not normal to have that quality at ...

Excellent images! Especially the in flight pictures are amongst the sharpest i have seen around here. I wonder how well AF would work on an EM1.

Love those travel images/reports. Makes me want to go travel. Interesting experience with in camera HDR. What you describe indeed can be an issue. Agree that conventional bracketing might be safer.

Thanks for sharing. I like the composition but think you should go to lower ISO and slower shutter speed for shots like this. Interesting that you mention a stiff zoom ring. I saw someone else ...

Nice model beautifully captured! Now that looks sharp!

Right. See the same with 7-14 pro. It was availablemfor $1199 until end of march. Then it went up to $1299. I did not anticipate that. I was waiting for reviews of the 300/4 and 100-400. But i ...

I am not sure i follow you. Denjw has provided the answer in an earlier post. If you choose S-AF -> Mode 3 the AEL/AFL button does S-AF just like otherwise the shutter button would do. But since ...

100% agree. It is one of the unique advantages of the M43 system that you can bodies in many different sizes and shapes. Like you i prefer bodies with a substantial grip like EM1 or GH4. But ...

Great captures! Love that you managed to have the birds appear on a completely blurred background. Looks beautiful.
