I echo that "cool close up."

I really like all the photos.  Very nice.

Beautiful.  When I was there in '82, we were ended up like 20-30 minutes late for sunrise.  Oh, well.  I think your photos are great.

Fantastic!

Similar cross post to post in A-mount.  I have a A580 (APS dSLR) and A7 iii.  I am mainly into hiking photos - mountains, waterfalls, flowers, etc. but did get interested in birds after ...

I own an A7 iii but don't have any lens over 70; thought I'd rent a Tammy 150-600 to try on my older A580.  Like with any super zoom, focus acquisition, especially in lower light, is not good.  ...

Lovely pictures!

Aw, #2 looks like a nice fuzzy pet wannabee.  So cute.  I also like the expression on #3.

I see nothing to critique, only to praise.  I really like.

Excellent - photos to be very proud of.

Ha ha, another punster.  Nice shots.

Such a beautiful tribute in words and photos.  I'm hugging (well, as much as they will allow) my 2 cats, fighting back tears.  Cherish the memories. Deepest condolences.

Thank you!  Not the lever position, but I hadn't even noticed this had a clutch.

Hate to bring up an old thread, but same issue with OMD EM1 ii with new 12-100 PRO and only this lens.  I don't think this has a focus clutch?

My local store as well.  Bought a used EM 1 ii there a month or so ago, and a 12-100 new lens about 2 weeks ago. I traded some old gear in for the Pro lens and i had priced trade in at KEH & B&H ...

I like.  Very nice.

As someone trying to catch the same small - FAST - little ones - whew!  I'm so jealous :-(of those shots.  None of mine are sharp, though at least some are identifiable.  ;-)

Very nice photos  -  all of them.

I quite like the cropped photo.  It's more of an "environmental portrait" of animals, which a very tight crop would not be.
