It works very well with my G85 for both stills and video.

There are filters and there are filters. Good filters made with good quality optical glass and good coatings won't have much impact on lens performance. Filters that don't meet that criteria will. ...

Ain't no myth. When my mother was a child a large mute swan broke her leg.

Fantastic. I really must get back up to the NT again. Was this shot over a long period of time?

Thanks for that Carol. I think I'll hold off switching to the 300mm f4 and actually upgrade my camera. I saw a couple of juvenile nankeen night herons the other day when I was at Tomato Lake. Won't ...

Not quite. DOF is dependent upon magnification which is a combination of focal length and the distance to the subject. The higher the magnification the less the DOF. Also the relationship of the ...

Shooting a small bird such as the Inland Thornbill shown below at a distance of 5m at 400mm f8 will give a total DOF of 4cm. The bird is about 8-10cm in length which means half will be out of focus. ...

I think I'd wait to see what firmware updates get announced for the EM1 iii, and EM1 x. My preference is to use 2 camera bodies, preferably the same.

Very much so. I still use my G85 a lot. It’s a fantastic little camera that can produce excellent results if I do my bit. The files are perfectly capable of producing very nice A3 sized prints and ...

I'd really like 10 bit 4:2:2 in 4K 50/60. I'd like a good 100/120 in 1080. Other than that I'm happy with my EM1 mk ii.

With the transition to live view in DSLRs and then to mirrorless video played a part. You want want faster frames per second then video plays a part in that. Smoother EVF video plays a part in ...

Thanks Carol. The only thing that puts me off the idea of the 150-400 is the size and weight. Chronic back problems mean that even a 200g increase can cause significant pain and discomfort. I think ...

Ron Frank got me seriously into Pentax with this enormous print of a portrait. Admittedly it was the 645 - great camera fantastic lenses. I really regret selling that.

I’ve known Saul for many years and knew his father Ron when he had the shop at the previous premises. Currently I’m using an EM1 mk ii with battery grip. I’m waiting to see what the Wow camera ...

Nice shots Mark. We have huge numbers of new holland honeyeaters and white cheeked honey eaters here in York. Never seen so many. I’ve been watching your progress with the 150-400 with great ...

I've written and illustrated hiking guidebooks and I chose the EM mk ii and the Panasonic 100-400 as my wildlife lens. Though to be honest the Olympus version wasn't out when I made the purchase. ...

Here are a selection of images taken with a Canon 550d and the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary. Cameras you can learn to work with but long lenses are a must for any sort of wildlife photography. Sacred ...

My Sigma 150-600 and MC-11 adapter give me AF in video. https://youtu.be/taT3d4eeObI?t=668
