Thank you to all who replied on this this thread. Here is what I've gotten out of this discussion: 1. Panny lenses (including the 100-400mm) should work fine on the Oly OM-D M1 III. 2. There is ...

Gary - You may have addressed this issue in a previous post on this thread ... so I don't have to look back at all of your posts on this thread, allow me to ask it now ... If I use your suggested ...

Gary & Harold - Thanks to both of you for your perspective. I've been very impressed with Panasonic's OIS system on their superzooms. In my personal experience, most wildlife I shoot requires ...

Gary - Very impressive and sharp photos. If I some of my photos turn out half as well as yours, I'll be very very happy.

I'm about ready to purchase an Oly OM-D M1 Mark III that I plan to use with my Panasonic Lumix lens. I have owned a Panny GX-9 for about two or three years and I want to replace it with a m4/3 ...

Jostian - There appears to be some differences of option in regards to dpreview's technique for evaluating autofocus/tracking on the e-m1 mark III. See https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64960011 ...

John - Thanks for the suggestion regarding the D500 as a good camera for wildlife/BIFs. As it turns out, I have a friend that has a D500 and is interested in selling it. He has some telephoto lens ...

Jwilliams - Thanks for your honest opinion on the future of Oly/Panny m4/3 cameras. I like m4/3 because the equipment is smaller (easier to lug around) and less expensive than full frame. If I ...

WileEC - About a year ago I bought the Panny/Leica 100-400mm. It's a great lens very sharp and fast autofocus. It works great with my GX9 for still photography, but the GX9 doesn't seem to track ...

I own a Panasonic GX9 that I bought a few years ago. Since then, I've purchased a few thousand dollars (USD) worth of lens and accessories. I would like to get a newer/better m4/3 camera (Panny or ...

Peter - Thanks for the clarification regarding the Oly 30mm macro.

Peter - Thanks for the info about extension tubes. I was hoping that when the EX-2 became available (only Ebay has them at a premium of an extra $100+ USD), I would buy one. It appears I need an ...

Guy - Thanks for the info about the Iwo Jima flag photo. I didn't know the real story. The men and women who fought WWII and who supported the war effort at home were truly the "greatest ...

To all ... Wow! Thanks to all of you for sharing your experience, setups, and tips. I'm getting a real education in digitizing negatives with a camera and macro lens. I didn't realize that there ...

John - In my setup, my shutter speed is very slow 1/10th second at f8 with my light table set on full brightness. Even if I go to f5.3 it still will be slow. I'm considering getting a lens ...

Allan - I'll give both of those tips a try and see what happens. Thanks,
