I'm sure Andy really appreciates it :-) I take it you don't know Andy then ;-) I commented on the intense look in my other post up there, but a strike shot and actually capturing something is ...

With a heavy crop like that you start to lose fine feathering details and you end up with a small final result in both dimensions and megapixels. Noise starts to show its nasty little head as ...

Tell you what Pete, a Canon DO 400mm F/4 on your 7D MKII would be an interesting thing to try out and with the 1.4x TC, heck I was looking at some shots the other night with that lens and the 2x ...

Always adapted and anything that moves fast, the faster the better Weight doesn't worry me. Focal length does and I'll take a top quality 420mm Prime over a top quality 300 F/4 and 1.4x TC anyday. ...

Against FF I said mate ;-) Think the crop factor of m4/3 with the 500mm. But yeah, we can throw the 300 F/2.8L on as well with a 1.4x TC. So no need for the 300 F/4 + 1.4x TC. I'm waiting for a ...

That's why I use 500 and 800mm lenses on m4/3. Then there's no need to worry at all ;-) They can take shots that FF have trouble getting to. A 300 and 1.4x TC, well I would sooner have a fixed ...

Best performing, Canon FD 500 F/4.5L Prettiest, doesn't exist. All darn ugly I reckon. :-) If pushed I might go for the Minolta 600 F/4 as maybe the best looking. At a stretch, the Leica APO 400mm ...

I wish I could give you a hundred thumbs up for that ;-) It's been exactly the same even with film. Use what you need to, format, ISO (ASA), shutter speed and F/stop. Very simple really and so ...

I reckon I can walk on water, no sweat Not too bad down there, but that guy is watching me again Better put on a good show for this guy I bet I can walk on water, bet ya I can See told ya, Easy as ...

Obviously you do have concerns about it, otherwise why would you make a post about it. Strange post this one. Danny.

Great series Bill and Les, very nice variety and all well taken. Looked at all of the highway's ;-) and quite the trip. Good on you. Loved the butterfly and found the indigo bush on highway 395 ...

Ahh I see. Yes we can stack with some m4/3 cameras, so that's not an issue. I can hit a 4:1 very easily with m4/3 using a zoom lens with a Raynox DCR added to the lens. The big difference there, ...

Not easy to get these small flying bullets, well done Mark. Nice chase going on and for some reason I love looking up at BIF's with the wings out. Most seem to like them lower in the frame, but ...

The so called macro/microscope is just using digital zoom isn't it ?? Or is there some kind of magic going on ;-) Danny.

Good on you and fine shots as well, even the .... "lazy one" ;-) They make great practise for BIF's. Damselflies are a bit harder again, they are a lot smaller and also faster, around half the size ...

Ha. Yes well, I was wondering what all the fuss was about reading the other comments in here and watching the video :-) :-) Ahhh, I won't be buying one Martin ;-) All the best and having trouble to ...

Can't seem to find a Leica 25mm https://www.dpreview.com/products/leica/lenses?subcategoryId=lenses Is it an old MF lens by any chance ? All the best. Danny.

And there you have it !! ;-) The built in hoods on the 500 and 800 are fine and long, but always add the external hoods as well. Light can be a blessing or a royal pain in the butt sometimes with ...

I use Canon 500 and 800mm lenses on the E-M10 and E-M1. You honestly think 300 is hard or 500, try 800mm ;-) Danny.

Amazing details in those. The cliff paid off big time mate. Feel eye to eye level in these shots, what views. Phew, I wish we had them here Den, amazing looking eagle. Excellent for heavy crops. Al ...
