I can't play the files but from what you say it makes sense. I must try my FL50R and see if there is the same lag as the 600R. I wonder what the 900R flagship is like?

Like night and day... very different. I googled it and it dates back to English used in 1390. There you go.. we both learned something 😉

Well done!

Pretty much my experience and thanks for this thread and I hope someone has some solutions especially re the lag.

Hoods properly implemented will make a big difference to contrast and colour but almost all hoods are very ineffective. The bellows hoods used in studios or on movie cameras and adjusted to the ...

I have used the Nikon 200-500 and DX sensor which is an effective 300-750 and it worked very well overall and the lens whilst not bitingly sharp wide open is a touch better than the PL wide open ...

Thanks for info on that.

+1 on Lens IS (exceptional) , bokeh and compact size and weight. As a 100-320 I can not fault it. At 400mm it requires some care and certain camera and lens settings and can produce as well then ...

Sorry but the 100-400 at 210mm and wide open at f5.1 is sharper than the 1.4 x Pro at 210mm at its best at f5.6.

Even a "flat lens" changes the path of light. Very high quality lenses like Zeiss Otus even behave measurably differently depending on the thickness of the glass in front of different sensor ...

The 400 2.8... 600 f4  800 f5.6 etc have the built in protective filter as part of the optical design and it protects often an ED (or soft fluorite element in the case of Canon) from scratches ...

Pretty much on the money! And yes people, there is totally solid science to back up why super teles (anything 200mm m43 and over) need an optically perfect protective filter (if using one). Plus ...

If the designers had left it at 100-300 f4-5.6 and charged $500 less I reckon this lens would have sold in droves with nary a complaint. At 400mm I use it but you have to be careful with your ...

It is rated the same but as we know the Lexar is faster. I am sure Sandisk will improve with their next model.

Good luck and you seem to have absorbed the pros and cons... keep the cash receipt though!

Your lucky hubbie should love the 100-400!

I have seen a UHS II 300MBS Sandisk in 128GB for sale.

Reading through the list of very pertinent questions you ask, I think you need the Oly 300 Pro with the EM1.2. The 75-300 can produce good shots but the AF and optics is no match overall. I have ...

I should get a bumper sticker for my 23 year old Toyota that says "My car is junk but I own Olympus Pro lenses".

With EVF High Frame Rate even m43 lenses are cr*p focusing in low light.
