That’s odd  on my OM1 the single point option is superb. On par if not better than my D500. I use it nearly all the time plus or minus bird AF  for bird and most macro photography. For birds in ...

As a 95% bird photographer I have also been toying with getting the IPhone 15 pro to replace my iPhone X. Your image could be used in a camera club competition so is more than good enough for me. ...

This did the trick. Thank you

Thank you Tom, but No and No

I don’t like threaded views and the site today does not remember that I have set the flat view when I go to another thread. All threaded needing me to change to flat view every time. I’ve been ...

The Nikon N1 series. If it had the Sony RX10 M4 sensor it would have been perfect for bird photography for it’s weight. I have the Sony RX10m4 but miss the extra reach of the C70-300 lens. My ...

Nice images Marko, but I can tell the difference between them and your usual 300f4. I have both your lenses an an OM1 and use both depending on whether I expect to do more macros when I choose the ...

Thank you Gary. Brandon.

Hi Gary, I value your advice as it is always helpful. I too have an OM1 and a PL 100-400 and love the combination. My OM1 is on firmware 1.3 as at least one person who updated to 1.5 on the camera ...

At the Game of Thrones exhibition at Bayeux Bayeux cathedral I love this little lens.

Thanks. I had not been able to find that out. It’s weird that the G9ll dumps this feature.

Does the G95 do focus stacking?

But you would lose focus stacking. Something I really find useful when our birding with a long lens to capture interesting  insects I come across. I hope OM systems remove this handicap to PL ...

Very nice and seems to be a good cheaper G9 replacement. Does it do focus bracketing AND focus stacking or just focus bracketing?

I find the OM1 and PL 100-400 is pin sharp on IBIS and prefer it to the lens IS for sharpness.

I didn’t like the bulk and the weight compared to the PL 100-400 and I love using the PL 100-400 and like it’s background rendering. However it is probably the best option logically. I have friend ...

That is a good point and a good idea. I started using hand held focus stacking a lot with the OM1 because it became more reliable and faster to process. I have a 60mm macro. It is light. Maybe ...

Thank you. So if I wanted to travel lighter I could use a G9 and PL100-400 and be able to do most of what I would like to do wildlife wise and still have a reasonable chance of setting some birds ...

Thanks Rick. Good points about new format and use of G9.

Thanks Dale. Really helpful. Is the G9 useless for birds in flight or just usable?
