Manual focus and DXO can make all the difference! (Oly 100-400)
6

I was one of the people being not that happy with the Olympus 100-400. Well it seems, the issue is more with the EM1.3/Oly 100-400 mediocre CAF/SAF rather than the Oly lens sharpness. Combined with DXO and a preset I have created, the lens performs as good as I want

Great pics!

If I may ask, what is the secret sauce in your DxO preset?

Its a preset I had created for birds and Fuji XT3 and it seems to work even better for Olympus :-).

Microcontrast: +30

DXO ClearView: on

DXO Smart Lighting: Slight

Highlights: -15

Saturation: +10

DeepPRIME: on

Lens Sharpness: Global:1 and Details: 90

Of course you might change those based on your taste.
