Awsome set of images Carol! The Nankeen kestrel with game is an amazing capture! The 3rd 150-400 lens came into NZ about 3 weeks ago. I am next on the list for NZ!

Many thanks for all the details and examples Danny!

I have the 11-22 mm and had the 12-60 SWD. The 11-22 is quite a bit smaller than the 12-60. I now have the micro43 12-100 f4 but kept the 11-22mm for when I want wider or smaller or ...

Yes. You can use a cheap 3rd party Canon compatible cable remote on the E-M1 Mk 2 (and presume Mk 3).

All lovely Paul, especially No 1. You did well getting the birds in focus with some of  them having busy backgrounds.

Thanks for sharing Joan. Still waiting for my lens :-(

Yes, unfortunately!

That's a stunning image! Did you notice any colour cast?

Mine has just stopped rotating as well, after about 6 or 7 years without a problem!

Beautiful pics! Still waiting for mine, but have heard of two coming in to New Zealand.

Hi Ashwood - I understood I was No 3 in NZ. Hope to get mine soon. I was expecting 4th March like you but I guess with only one coming in at a time, it is taking longer!

Hi Henry Bad news - the lens didn't arrive on the 4th and now they are saying ETA unknown at this point - so I get back to waiting....

I wonder if that will affect the thermo-regulation under hot sun. I hear that Oly painted the exterior white and added an IR reflective layer to stop the lens overheating and affecting the ...

Micro adjusments are possible (at least in the E-M1 series). I have applied microadjustments with the 40-150 f2.8 PRO + 1.4 & 2.0 TCs.

I ordered from my local camera shop in New Zealand on 16th January and paid a 10% deposit. I was initially told 4th March, but now they say ETA unknown. Regards

Fantastic series! Just like our fantails in New Zealand!

Here in New Zealand my camera shop emailed me a few days  ago saying the lens should be in the country 4th March! Praying it will be so!

Wonderful series! We have two species of cuckoos in New Zealand - Shinig Cuckoo and Long-tailed cuckoo that use Grey Warbler Whitehead nests respectively

Beautiful pictures and thanks for the tips too. I may get some of that camo tape when I finally get my lens. Did you think about the Olympus protective filter?
