Flickr Favorites with Oly 300mm/f4 plus MC-14
5

This lens is really exceptional, especially together with the MC-14. This combination has then a reach of 840mm, what is really a challenge to handhold and to follow birds in flight. But rather than a lot of comments, that it was to big and heavy, I can hold it for hours, without a problem and I'm not the youngest.

Some comments:

Even this prime plus TC with together 420(840)mm is often too short for BIF. Very seldom it's too long. This lens is sharp and has very fast AF (like the 40-150 pro) if set to 4m to infinity. The sync-IS with the E-M1 works perfect.

Here my Flickr-Favorites-Album (favorites as seen from others, not necessarily mine), all shot freehand with the E-M1 or GH4:

Some of them from the DPR Favorites-Gallery, but the quality here seems not so good as from the gallery page or from Flickr :
