Hi, Lured by the discounts last year I bought the E-M1x. My E-M1 is now the 'little' camera, basically replacing my E-P1. The good old E-P1 has a defective IBIS - a pity, because somehow I always ...

Furthermore: - No Pro cap low - Lower maximum frame rate, especially when stopped down (the aperture mechanism is slower) But the old 4/3 lenses perform much better and faster on the modern E-M1's ...

I don't know the numbers of the Oly 100-400, but the PL 100-400 is F5.7 at 300mm. So the difference with the 300/4 is about one stop. Just like Paul Auclair mentioned about the Oly 100-400, also my ...

Hi, Bird detection works great, but the AF can still focus on a branch instead of the bird or animal. So I tried if using small focus points works better. It seems so! Cheers, Erwin The AF stayed ...

It's on the roadmap since the birth of the solar system...  :-) https://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_files/Zuiko_sched0405.pdf Cheers, Erwin

No, good point to mention. It's peanut butter specially for birds. And of course the grease balls with seeds. Cheers, Erwin

The magic word:  peanut butter. :-) Cheers, Erwin

Hi, The differences are just in the details. Some are pro Oly, some are pro Pany. If you can wait, than wait so you can try both lenses and see which pro's and con's matter for you. But if you need ...

Hi, The focussing screen should have a small tab. This tab should be used to remove the screen, but it also has the type number etched on it. Check which one you have and compare it with the chart, ...

You can find the manual here: https://www.cameramanuals.org/olympus_pdf/olympus_om-2.pdf On page 7 is an image that shows how the batteries should be placed. Cheers, Erwin

Waiting for the next generation IBIS... :-) But this weekend I 'discovered' Sequator - a very easy (and free) stacking programma. Simply making a sequence of a few dozen of 1/8s or so images at ...

I had to wait for a clear evening, but tonight I finally could do the experiment: Taking a picture of Orion Nebula without a tripod, just point & shoot. Rings of Saturn, moons of Jupiter are easy ...

I should indicate the heading. My guess it is derived from the gps data when moving the camera. But it seems that the implementation is a little... well... weak and buggy. Cheers, Erwin

The Pany and Oly are equal in quality. Both are a sensible choice, but if you need a 100-400 now , the Pany is the only choice. Cheers, Erwin

No, the camera was in 'comet mode', but conditions were difficult anyway. So shadows (aka the bat) were lifted and DxO's DeepPrime cleared the noise. Cheers, Erwin.

An evening this summer I went outside to take a picture of comet Neowise with the 35-100/2. A bat was flying around, so a snapped a picture. The camera simply nailed it, althought it was already ...

I did not expect a clear evening, so I took these images just from the street. Saved by IBIS :-) Cheers, Erwin 100% crop - Pany 100-400. Also 100% crop, Pany 100-400,

One of those heavy jewels of the Olympus 4/3 era: https://www.four-thirds.org/en/fourthirds/single.html#i_300mm_f028_olympus Cheers, Erwin

HHHR seems to need the whole frame to align the images, I guess. The Moon is just a small disc in an empty frame. Cheers, Erwin

Just a wild guess: Because of the dual processor the software probably has to be compilled different on the E-M1X. Maybe there was just not enough time to adapt and test the new AF routines for the ...
