I agree James. I was actually agreeing with someone, and in addition - (they said they'd never used 35mm) - I said how it made a good benchmark. I can only think that someone waded in afterwards ...

In the thread about whether equivalence matters, I posted, that to me, the only thing about it that matters is that it's very useful to those of us that have been brought up on 35mm in order to ...

Latest firmware. A sequence of shots of red deer against a winter hillside, with the 300 + 2tc, and with the lens resting on the car window. Not one in focus, all soft. Red deer at a distance ...

Not if it's optically rubbish.

Sat on that wall, they also look huge (especially in length)

The problem is, video from an EM1 2 looks crap alongside video from any Panasonic. Same here. Unlike with my EM1 2, which has randomly let me down on numerous occasions. No experience of it, yet ...

….the same as I shoot now :-)

Why are you posting in the m4/3 forum? This is nothing to do with this forum, go and post in the Canon forum.

Yes, works fine for me on the following:
Swimming otters
Dolphins breaching
White Tailed Eagles diving for fish
Gannets and other low flying sea birds

The point is you will have a choice - the best quality, but at a price in size and weight, or convenience. Does Sony have an equivalent lens the same size as the PL100-400?

The AF performance of the 40-150 on the G9 is fine, as it is with the 300 and the 300+2TC..
Do you have those combinations yourself?

Well said.
Olympus lens's work perfectly on Panasonic cameras, the lack of sync IS is no problem, the lens IS is so good, and the G9's body IS is very effective with the 40-150.

Which is good...

Beautiful Petr, especially the first one - I love the 40-150, used mine for the first time in a year yesterday at a red squirrel hide, made me realise just how good it is, especially wide open. Hop ...

Add the 2TC to the 300 above and you get in the region of 30cm.

Yes, I think it could. The only drawback I see with this lens now (apart from price?) is weight, but for it's capabilities (I hate using primes) that might be something I can put up with.

Are there any actual dimensions up for this yet (sure there will be soon)? By my ratio calculations, based on the photo and the mount size, it will be approx. 30cm long, which makes it just 4cm ...

Ever watched W1A (a spoof spy on the wall show of life at BBC headquarters for those who haven't seen it) ? I know a reporter for the BBC, and he says that isn't a comedy, it's a documentary !

Thanks for that James - unfortunately we're stopping at Borgie on the Wednesday night, Helmsdale on the Thursday, so we miss him by a day. So have I. They should have updated it with the same lens ...

Slight problem's going to be we're in my car, a C3, and I'm really going to have to lay the law down regarding bringing not bringing the kitchen sink....Steve did volunteer to drive (he has a ...

So do I, and she's gained a good deal of respect down here these last few months. I've been visiting Scotland at least twice a year since 1990, and since I took up wildlife photography (as well as ...
