katastrofa

I don't regret swapping the 75-300 for the 300. For bird photography, being able to crop out a small part of the photo and still have OK quality is fantastic.

TBH, the 300mm F/4 is light enough for me to take on day-long hikes. But no focal length versatility, of course.

Indeed, atmospheric distortion is a killer for long-tele photography. It defeats the best lenses.

Mine has also shipped after several months and lots of chasing them on social media. Pretty poor showing all around.

File sizes would be too large, also sensor readout speed would take a hit.

OM System. Olympus customer service was excellent, I agree.

I tried contacting them on Facebook. All I get is promises "we'll look into this" and when I send my order details, there's silence. Emails aren't being answered. I asked for a partial refund, no ...

Placed 4^th in the challenge.

I was recently out birdwatching / bird photographing in Norway. We were shown a location of a local owl nesting box and told that a pair of owls was nesting there. The box was near a camping site, ...

Hmm, I did format it in the camera before using! But I'll try again. I have a lot of photos on it, but they seem to be OK.

In recent days, when I browse the photos on the card via the camera EVF (refresh frequency set to Normal not High), the camera freezes when I zoom in. It started happening to me recently, without ...

Well, they don't even bother answering my emails now!

I'm still waiting, despite having chased them several times. Not v. happy about it.

Yes, that fixed it! Thanks.

I just got delivered a pre-ordered OM-1. Attached my trusty Olympus 12-100 lens, aimed at cat, and... camera freezes. Can't be turned off. Everything works OK with my 300mm telephoto lens. Did ...

You don't see much difference in RAW, but in JPEG the level of detail retained is definitely higher for OM-1 than for OM-D Mark II or III.

Car! no cat :)

It could try to figure out the most prominent object in the scene and focus on it, but in actual wildlife photography your subject may be a small part of the scene.

And what if the bird is sitting...

And not icluding a mains charger is a bit of a ripoff.
