The bird shots seem a little noisy at ISO 640 IMHO. I'm guessing you had to crop them quite a bit. Still great though.

Yes they are huge crops. Can't wait for that 300 f4 pro to come out! Sometimes noise adds an interesting "texture", didn't use any noise reduction.

Not for long i bet :D

Nice one


Thanks. This little camera is amazing.

The in body image stabilisation just works I can take shots at shutter speeds down to 1/20th or even 1/10th sec and they are crisp. I could never do that on my D810.

Only cons I have found so far :-

It can't match Nikon on C-AF for tracking birds but for slow moving things its fine.

The battery life sucks if you are using the rear screen, Olympus need to fix that. I don't think it would last more than 100 shots, if that!! If you switch everything off then yes it can last longer but you lose all the good functionality.

I have ordered a cheap lens adapter to see how it works with my nikon glass.

The crop factor on Micro 4/3 is 2.0
So yes my 80 - 400 becomes 160 - 800, could even add my TC1.4 as well.


@Rick M has the 40-150pro as well which is very tempting. Apparently Olympus are bringing out a 300mm f/4 which is equivalent to 600mm so might wait for that .

The 300 f4 is supposed to come out in November, hopefully we'll have it by year end. The 1.4 TC works great on the 40-150, should be even better on the 300 f4. 840 mm in a small package is going to be a lot of fun!

Paid £21 for a basic Nikon to m4/3 adapter.

Tried my Nikon 105mm macro out on the E-M5 Mk2

Quite pleased with this shot, manually focussed using focus peaking, hand held courtesy of IBIS.

The aperture value shown in the EXIF is not 1. Because the lens was on a dumb adapter there is no way for the camera to know. It was around f/5.6 (ish). It is set by a simple slider on the adapter on a scale from 0 = lens fully closed to 9 lens fully open
