What a fantastic series of this wilderness, well done! My favorite is the elephant as well, knowing the lioness is on the hunt adds to the drama. Well done with the cheetah's eyes, I have to do that a lot when I'm shooting cats.

I often crop hard so I would have been reluctant to go with just m43 but you seem to have managed just fine. Maybe your driver got you closer to the game than is usual.

Hey Michael

The m43 is perfect, would not think of any other (even if I did, in my defence I had a bad scare). I didn't need to crop a lot, I was carrying a 600mm equ(unmentionable).

Made my life very easy. Also compared the results to my friend who was carrying a 600mm Nikkor with 4D something..mkii and the results are very comparable. Only in low light do you see a difference but then the light is so poor you should ideally stop shooting anyway. And in low light my em1 focused as ever where as he struggled and had to use mf.

Yes my driver did get close but then i used the 40-150 pro.

Can't wait to go back, Cheers Michael.
