I'm usually not so concerned with bokeh that I would delete an image, as long as the subject looks great. There's the option of blurring the background in pp. However if there are distracting ...

My kids are adults, so I can't blame them. Good suggestion to check with a torch, and while there are a few dust spots, there is nothing I can see in a stripe pattern. The climate I live in is very ...

Thank you for your reply. The 500 pf is on my wish list, because the 200-500,600 lenses are too heavy for me to manage. Do you have any images you could post of bokeh taken wide open on that lens?

Yes, I agree. I have no plans to replace the lens

I love my 80-400 vr ii for taking bird images. It's fast to focus, for its range, and I can crop the images considerably, because the optics are so good. I usually use it on my Nikon D500 I do get ...

Have you considered upgrading your software? I've had good results with Photoshop/Topaz denoise. This image was one of a series I grabbed, but taken in deep shade with the Panny 100-400 at 280 mm ...

Oh Dear! From the above replies, I'd say your photo budget is stretching. Both lenses are a ton of fun. I also think it's worth having both. The 40-150 2.8 is more verstatile, but the 75 1.8 just ...

Very nice! What equipment were you using?

I've been bonding with my new 40-150 Oly lens and 1.4 TC Harlquin Jewel Beetles

Great street photography shot!

Interesting. On 2 overseas trips, like you, I tended to use the extreme end focal lengths more than the middle, except for street photography, where 12 mm was just too wide for people, unless I ...

I'm not a fan of the GX9 EVF, coming from larger cameras such as Nikons and Pana G9. However, I've no regrets buying the camera, because it has the best tilt screen by far of any camera I've owned ...

I agree

Beautiful detail and colour Thx for sharing

Here are a couple of butterfly shots that the other supertele lenses would struggle to get Orchard Swallowtail butterfly (female) Common Crow butterfly

Your lens seems to make about the same amount of noise as mine. It doesn't matter much at all in the field, because the subject is usually well out of hearing range. Remember you're covering a huge ...
