It's best to test this with only the adapter mounted but without camera. This way you can see the position of pin and lever as well as the aperture diaphragm changing as you turn the aperture ring ...

Not sure if I understand correctly. When you say you sometimes can't change the "openings" do you mean it looks like in above foto but the aperture opening will still not change when turning the ...

That's what it should look like:

Don't worry, that's just the adapter incorrectly mounted. There's that lever protruding from the fd-lens. And there's that pin protruding to the inside of the adapter. Make sure the adapter pin is, ...

Loving it! :-)

In last weeks "crisis" further testing didn't seem to be a compelling prospect for you. Really feeling happy for you that it payed off! :-) Btw, even I with my manual glass on G9 fare better ...

Thanks for the kind words! Today 15th April our Grebes are still sitting on their eggs. Looking forward to seeing some of your Grebe-shots soon!

My wife is still using the FZ300+TC17ed which I also shot for some years. Here's some pics she took on one of our recent outings. All are crops but aren't downsampled. PP by me. :-) Happy shooting! K.

If your library was of prints it would fill halls! Great shots, as usual! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for keeping up the thread! K.

I see your points. If I may ask ... what's holding you back then? -Not many of us who got a go ahead from the wife would hesitate very long! :-)

What about some sort of controlled test set up with backlight and a subject heading towards you ... to find out where the problems source ... TC vers no TC ore BirdAi vers CAF ore Stabiliser ...

Thanks for explaining!

Excellent  work, beautiful! And again some amazing detail at 100% from the MC20 too. Do you take both TCs with you mostly? And do you change often? Any special technique for TC-changing in the ...

... about their TCs protruding into their 100-500 lens and keeping it from retracting below 300mm. It is shown in this video at 6:05 min. I don't know if they have implemented something to prevent ...

Well done, and great variety! My favs are the Avocets and the Godwits.

Makes shooting a 3.5kg setup hand held easy and comfortable.

You know ... other than you we mortals are quite used to crops of less than 18mp! ;-) Well done! I like them all. Any birdAi on those?

Even tho I have neither an AF lens nor an Olympus cam I allways enjoy reading your contributions  because they are so well done and written! Keep up the great work you're doing! Thanks!

Astonishing how allmost identical the shots of the prime and the zoom+tc are! I'd never have thought they would be that similar.

Thanks!
