katastrofa

Got my lens back! Fixed and cleaned. Free of charge. The quality of Olympus customer service is just amazing.

Any hope for better performance at high ISO? (> 2000).

Thanks. I got a return label for them, so free carriage is still available, at least :)

I have contents insurance, I may have to claim for it. I think 250 GBP may be a price worth paying for them to have a look at the lense too and possibly re-adjust it - the fact that I didn't see ...

Thanks. It's under warranty, but they charge over 200 pounds :-| Oh well.

I slipped on a hard surface and fell while carrying my camera with the Oly 300mm F/4 on it. The lens seems to be all right, but the integrated hood took a beating - it's cracked and the top ring ...

It's the cost which is painful :)

As an amateur bird photographer, I can see the benefits for shooting BIF. For stationary birds, I'd stay with single-point AF or manual focussing.

Took you a loooong time to review this baby, guys :)

I have a PC with a GPU, but it's in a box right now :)

Another annoying thing: not caching the effects of image processing. If you switch from image 1 to image 2 and back to image 1 again, it's reprocessed from scratch.

Is it usable without a GPU?

When they started adding DAM features, they got quite a lot of feedback "don't try to be a DAM, be a good and fast editor" on their user forum.

You can't please everyone.
