Image From Oly 300mm f4

Hi Ramyeah thank you and am glad you found the images useful. I thinking the latest SW update that Oly made may have help with the dual stabilisation.
Oops I stand corrected on the spelling and appreciate you pointing ti out. I will get it corrected right away.

Please see below:
Oh about 20 ft away.
I will get the link for you tomorr
Good night
You may need more reach than the Oly 300 plus TC can offer. Using digital zoom will give you twice the reach. I tried that out and the results is not bad. But cropping from Raw file is better.
Yes agree. If using 100% crop is good enough for you then there is hope. The close up of the kingfisher is 100% cropped and the details are still there.
Oh about 20 ft away.
Very challenging shooting conditions indeed. I just saw the gallery of one of the members from the Oly 300f4 group. He is using the D7200 and the 150- 500 or 600mm lens and getting very good results.
I will get the link for you tomorr
I estimate it is about 20ft. I will verify that tomorr. I appreciate your problems and will do what I can at this end to assist.
Yes will certainly do. Its my retirement hobby.
Good night
Yes, looks like the Dual stabilization is rocking. We can see consistent results from those few people who have tried so far, getting amazingly sharp images at such slow shutter speeds.. That's quite promising!
Was just checking my archive pics of the E5 taken with the Little Tuna and the images are also very sharp. But hit rate is lower. going to do some test shots on the EM1 with Little Tuna vs 300f4. Much that I love the Little Tuna I find it is getting heavy as I aged.

That'd be really interesting contest and I thank you in advance for that test 
Just to be fair on the old gem,Pl have it tested with and without TCs as well..
I'd expect the PRO to win in terms of absolute sharpness and the little tuna in bokeh rendering. However, other parameters of handling and performance are equally or more important practical considerations..

Fancy that we both have similar pre-conclusion. Thats explain why I am in no rush to go do that. More importantly which of the lens suits my shooting style and of course the Pro.

Ha..haa.. Great men think alike, as the saying goes...But, let that not hold you from testing it out.. Would be of great interest to some of the folks who use/d those SHG lenses and are considering the investment onto this new gem. And, personally I'd say Olympus SLR forum would be more appropriate place to post the results..

I had a look through your shots Ric and great work!
I saw some shots with the Panasonic 100-300mm wide open and some you can see feather detail and others not quite.
Why does this lens (and it seems the Oly 70-300mm) sometimes look like a million dollars and other times like a kit lens?

Actually about 20 ft away is acceptable, and the feather detail you got is impressive. Thanks!
Oops never got around today to run the test. But I did visit our Garden By The Bay and looking for the tiny Common Kingfisher. Luckily I found him. Came away a happy dude with some beautiful shots. In process of sorting them out.
One very positive observation - coming home with a very high rate of top notch keepers. Pics are properly exposed not by me but the EM1. Colour spot on. Most rewarding is these files do not need PPing compared to the past.
You mentioned this below and I fully agree with you. One should not just evaluate the lens base on the technical specs. But the EM1 and the 300mmf4 lens as a system which Oly has gone to great length to optimise the combo to produce a top notch system. The whole shooting experience is so enjoyable and the results is even more rewarding. Think what the EM1M2 will do!
You have a great day my find

Just completed testing the little Tuna vs Oly 300f4. No contest. Set cam up at 1/30 and default f5.6 and all shots from Pro were sharp. But every shoot from my little Tuna were blur.
That was a easy decision - selling off all my 4/3 gear.

Well, at such shutter speed, that'd hardly be a contest! But, that definitely highlights how capable the new combo is compared to others..
And, I can see your reasoning behind the decision.. Why keep some thing which you'd hardly use for you have a far better tool now in hand! A wise practical decision.. Appreciated..
Happy shooting!

Sorry fr the last reply
2 things come to mind:
1. Light condition is good you get fine feather details.
2. Shooter error - shaky hands.

Wow, I've been seen quite amazing images with this lens. Indeed it doesn't look overpriced to me. Not that I can afford it, I can't right now, and I truly believe the Pana-Leica 100-400 offers a far more usable range, but the image quality looks like is worth every penny.
