My thoughts are that the inter changing of these lenses and bodies have been around long enough for horror stories to have been written about on at least one forum by now, so far i have heard ...

Well, I just meant from inclement weather, not sure about the OP!

Weirdly I just asked the exact same question, so I will delete mine and see how this one goes :)

I assumed it was, but speaking to a group member on Facebook, he thought possibly not. Something to do with the sealing o-rings sitting over the screws in the mounts not forming a proper seal. If I ...

Thanks for all the feedback people, I went for the Oly 40-150mm f2.8 PRO in the end, and it's a thing of joy! K

Thanks Tyrbiter, I want to do video, so was really looking to keep the constant f2.8, the alternative is the Pana 35-100 f2.8, but I think I need the reach the Oly gives. 200mm is slightly overkill ...

Also (very) late to this party, but wondering if any firmware updates might have ironed this out, from the little I have read this is a tried and trusted combo. Interested as I am looking to buy ...

Hi Bassam Guy, I ended up with this make (FIT&SLIM) as the local camera shop had them in, I went for the 62mm to fit my Pana G9  with PL 12-69mm, and the quality seems good on first impressions ...

Thank you all, I managed to find this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hoya-62-Slim-PL-CIR-Filter/dp/B00HF6G10A?th=1 That although cheap is one of the ones I have seen used in a video that appeared ...

Thanks for the reply, so by your definition I need a CPL that is perhaps 1.6 or above then? I will probably need to eliminate a fair bit of reflected light, especially under low light UK conditions ...

Wow, that is a pricey filter! Best K

Thank you for the reply BBbuilder467 You reference the slightly lower than 2 stops would be preferable for my needs, so with this B+W CPL would the stated Filter Factor: 2.5 (1.3 Stop) be adequate, ...

Hello all, I have made subsequent posts here on my desire to shoot (video) fish in challenging conditions! For reference my posts here & here I have now had time to "play a bit" with my new system ...

"I own this lens and have shot dragonflies in flight with it. Not quite the same mission, I know. But it weighs next to nothing, performs terrifically. Given clear water and a polarizer, it just ...

Thanks for the reply, I have actually been looking at the olympus 40-150mm f4.0-5.6, in the same light. With a mind to 'trying it out' in the field. I may not get the low light performance, the ...

Thanks, that's really useful to know about the zoom stickiness, I'll definitely want it to be as smooth as possible, even at the expense of some focal range K

I'm probably over thinking things as I'm new to all of this, I'm not sure I'll need above 140mm, as I'll usually be able to position myself closer than 30ft to get shots. I may try a PP's comment ...

Thanks John, no not in a fish tank nor will I be joining them for a swim, I expect I will be able to get away with the shorter length as well, 25-30ft is a 'worst case scenario' Appreciate your ...

Yes, that can be an issue, but one that the CPL filter should eliminate to a large degree. Very much depends on how much of a height advantage your have over the subject, I find the higher you go, ...

Thanks alcelc, That makes the most sense to me given the variables, I certainly will want to leverage every drop of light I can. But suppose I was secretly hoping the 12-140 would allow me to keep ...
