Hi Vince, I have the Oly 75-300mm II, but would today buy the Pana 100-300mm II. The Pana has the advantage of being faster at the long end, which is of great importance and it is weather sealed ...

I have been to Malaysian Borneo many times over the past 15 years and have been to all the location you mentioned, except Mulu Caves (btw, it just lost it status as world largest cave last week to ...

Hi Master of the Universe 😀, since it is almost a year ago, I do not remember... 🤔, but it is lots of fun there and I do not mind going back. One scary thing are the earthquakes though... got hit ...

Problem with underwater photography is, that you basically have to go straight to manual operations to get some decent pictures. I am shooting manual, but with autofocus. You can also set the ISO ...

I shot these almost a year ago in Puerto Galera (Philippines), but since I did not post them here, I though it might be entertaining... They are all shot with my Olympus Pen E-PL7, the 14-42mm PZ ...

I shot those a while ago, but stumble over them when looking through my picture... Mimic Octopus small Cuttle Fish dito Pygmy Seahorse Banded Seasnake Cowfish Shrimp Crab Harlequin Snake-eel Frogfish

Danny, I have been making this point for some years here, but a lot of these dinosaurs here, coming from FF, think that this is not possible and would cost a billion... Well, looking at what you ...

very nice shots! I am actually surprised by the sharpness of the pictures!  I had contemplated buying the G7X (is it the mark I?) for only underwater, but decided on the Oly Pen E-PL7 as my all ...

I also have the lens and as well using it extensively.  I have been thinking about a replacement since I bought it in 2014, but when it comes to compactness and reach, there is not much out there. ...

Hi Andrewteee, For me there are several aspects to it: I am not a pure "bird photographer", but am shooting wildlife and nature in general. I just enjoy being outside in nature, which is an ...

Not sure if you have got enough ideas... but just some thoughts... First of all, I live in SE-Asia (Singapore and before in Malaysia) and have traveled the region for leisure (not just business ...
