Thanks! The real colour is warm red, turning even warmer (and stronger) in the late evening sunlight. The E-M1 captured the actual colours very well.

From the first day with my new 12-100/4. Late evening sunlight. Echinacea and lavender in my little garden.

I'm not that afraid of exposing my sensor. But I will consider your suggestions after I've tried what I already have. Thanks again!

I don't think this subthread is off topic. After all, my pictures were taken to show the beauty of the mountainous area in Lapland. I mostly shoot to please myself, but I also want to inspire more ...

Most of my needs, yes, and probably all of my needs when I'm hiking.

Thank you, much appreciated! Unfortunately, the results look rather similar to what I was getting with the 35-100/2.8. Decent in the center but rather odd looking edges and corners. Anyway, I ...

Looks interesting, thanks. I already have a 77 mm Canon 500D which I will try first, but my expectations are low. It's supposed to be a high quality diopter but the results on my Nikon 300/4 were ...

Good tip! Will try if the problem appears again (only happened once with each lens).

Just do it! :-D

There was more snow than usual last winter and the summer was very late this year. But the snow is unevenly distributed. Not a lot more than normal where I was.

I certainly appreciate all the kind words. Thank you everyone! I'm going back to Lapland in late August, this time to the fabulous Sarek NP, the closest you get to real wilderness in Western ...

Tack! Inte i klass med dina bilder på törnsångare och gärdsmyg, men jag var glad över att för första gången få fotografera blåhake.

Thanks! I had 3 spare batteries, meaning a total of 4. Didn't need the 4th battery until the last day. I used to shoot MF slide film and I'm probably still influenced by the fact that every press ...

Thanks, Bill! No serious issues this time. A few contact problems with the 40-a50 and 300/4. And, of course, the usual – the camera and I don't always agree on where to focus.

I'm usually hiking with company, but this time I went alone to the Kebnekaise area. This is a very popular place for hiking and rather crowded, at least by Lapland standards. But you can still ...

These are the best bird images I've seen on this forum since your own fantastic wren pictures. Can't believe you manage to focus manually on these small birds. It's difficult enough with AF as ...

This forum is sometimes a very nice place. All comments so far have been gentle, well-informed and quite useful to me. I appreciate all of them. Thank you, all of you! I have to admit, I had face ...

I purchased the Oly 300/4 a month ago, as a lightweight alternative to my Nikon 200-500. Mostly for birding, of course, but also for flowers. I haven't spent as much time with the new lens as I ...

Jackdaw looking for well-polished, shining cars to attack. My car wasn't interesting.

What a wonderful post, thank you so much Tom! I'm not sure I can live up to your expectations, but I'll do my best. I can easily see why you're happy with the new lens. You've already got some very ...
