It was me who had the "no plans to upgrade" answer from Viltrox, regarding their NF-M1 adapter. I already replied to the OP's thread on the same subject in Micro Four Thirds Talk forum, but just to ...

I can only say I have had totally negative experience with a Nikon lens that was not on the list of compatible lenses. That's on an Olympus E-M5 II. That was with the Viltrox NF-M1 and the ...

OK, my very first BiF image. Using my Sigma ART 135/1.8 + MC14 extender with Viltrox EF-m4/3 smart adapter, and Olympus E-M1 III. C-AF + cluster focusing. I know it's not the world's best, but it's ...

Ah yeah, but walking miles to get a shot of some rare bird is potentially much healthier. :-D :-D :-D But, more seriously, I have been/am in much the same dilemma. macro and/or birding ?? I have ...

Thanks Peter, Definitely a good idea to have a "plan B". Of course, judging by Jim Chung's findings, the answer may simply be an OM-1. Cheers,

Thanks, just scanned the lens rental places in NZ. Mostly serving the video market. A good selection of Sigma lenses though. 150-600mm, 60-600mm seem to be a bit too exotic for them. I read Dustin ...

Metabones tests actually showed an increase in resolution, using the Zeiss Otus 85./1.4

Thank you. I do appreciate your comments. I have rejected the idea of the "C" version of the 150-600mm, based on your, and other's, comments. They are consistent with the test results from LensTip. ...

The only bodies I have are Olympus, 4/3 and m4/3. I'm getting encouraging focus speed results with my Sigma 135/.8 + MC14  through the Viltrox smart adapter. There seems likely a (large) price ...

Went back through my files and found a direct comparison on astro. OM 300/4.5 vs m.Zuiko 75-300mm @300/6.7. Same star field, same night. Results very similar, even the 75-300mm showed "bloating" on ...

I have shot astro with both lenses. Ususally with the 75-300mm II at 300mm, but only a couple of times with the OM 300/4.5. The OM is very sharp, but does have a bit of CA wide open. And bright ...

No agenda, but if you feel insulted by facts then I'm sorry for you.

Definitely, cars and birds are not good comparisons especially in terms of difficulty. Cars are bigger targets with more predictable movement. It was just a starting point for me. I've never ...

Thank you for responding, if you re-read other responses I think you will agree it's a fair conclusion. Can you think of another reason why Pany owners seem so negative ? Brand loyalty perhaps ?

Thank you, wasn't seriously considering the PL, though did wonder if the Leica heritage would be a factor.

Well, a very good selection of responses. Though I can't help noticing most of the negative/disparaging comments are from Panasonic users. That would suggest to me that Panasonic is not a good ...

I would like to refer you to this recent blog from Jim Chung, https://jimchungblog.com/2022/05/19/m43-focus-speeds-on-eos-adapted-lenses/ Cheers,

I have a 4/3 to m4/3 smart adapter, in my hands. I use it for my 70-300mm zuiko lens. Sluggish focusing on my E-M5 II, snappy on my E-M1 III

There's one on eBay as well, private seller, but not such a good price as KEH.

Can you confirm your Sigma EF lenses you refer to are the later models with faster beefier AF motors.
