Don't fear it before you tested it. It's a long time since I last captured animals in motion (with a Nikon F4...). So I absolutely lack practice. There are some great photographers in this forum ...

From what I read the downside of the Sigma 100-400 is the OIS - OK results at 1/250, but already at 1/180 there are quite some blurred images, slower shutter speeds increase that number. (Let's ...

I am a non-native English speaker currently somewhat stressed ;) I wanted to say "vague about the topic he is referring to". He didn't post a link to a thread or user name. So we all just can ...

Thx Ian, that's what I thought and hoped for. Only thing that remains: I have to convince my dad to use his right eye :/ And hopefully the GX8 makes that a more natural move. But again: we need to ...

This text is quite vague, so probably ask directly what he is talking about. I am quite sure it's all about this thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/59714437

He replied in the other thread. Not trolling. So this thread can be locked.

gyms and trainers are EXPENSIVE, and for them to pay off you have to do it quite a while. Better spend that money on trips or gear. Or give it to your (grand) children, they happily will carry ...

+1 (+1000 isn't possible, unfortunately)

[Is all the raging because of "downgrading" really needed?!?] On the pro side of the G85+100-400 of course is the weight. I read somewhere here that the Panasonic 100-400 is slightly better than ...

A 60mm f2.4 will have the same DoF on ANY sensor of ANY size and ANY color array. A 400mm f6.3 will act the same way, especially it will will have a shallower DoF than a 60mm f2.4 (again on any ...

So I am not allowed to talk about my personal experience just because I don't own Fuji but mFT, even though the topic is relevant to any brand/sensor size/...? (And even though I was considering ...

Turn the thumb/back wheel. The front wheel goes forwards/backwards through the images, even while magnified. Great feature :)

Wow... Really? I use my Panasonic 100-400 for closeup-work and I am happy that it has fast and precise auto focus. Comes in handy for bees or anything that is moving. Also the focus-by-wire manual ...

My pleasure :) Ouch, that doesn't sound promising. Is that true for all FT lenses or just the 50-200 (which actually is (was?) the one I'm most interested in...)?

That's basically what I tried to say with my somewhat ironical post above ;) (You know - a picture is worth a thousand words, let alone 4 pictures ;)). Here is an example how to properly do a ...

That looks pretty bad :( I can imagine this is caused by excessive use of aspherical lenses (3 + 1 ED+asph.). While they help reducing optical errors (and reduce overall glass weight) they are ...

Interesting :) Been expecting a portrait of a man in the 90ies with a monocle. Seems I forgot to switch off irony mode. Really great job, I've been thinking of buying into FT-glass as I came across ...

Well.... ;) Nice pic but... RRROAR! I had your 40-150 for breakfast! But it's still better! OMG... What the hell are they doing! MMMEOWho cares? [SCNR ;)] All shots taken yesterday in the ...

AF-F on the panasonic might be the better option, but I rarely shoot playing children.

+1 I realized yesterday that I always turn the lens hood of the 100-400 so that the screw of the hood sits perfectly on top. When I take the camera (G81) to the eye I aim over the flash mount and ...
