Great video, I keep reading mixed reviews on this lens, so I am on the fence about purchasing.

Very nice video, Espen.

Dear Espen, I like to watch your videos, tutorials and listen at your comments and suggestions. I'm learning a lot from you about wildlife photography, birds photography and how to use at my best my OM-1 Mk II. Wonderful video. Thank you. Have a great week. Ciao 🤓.

Beautiful images Espen, heading to the coast this week. The sun sets on my side of the world. Heading to Oregon. 😊

What’s what I used to do as well. I had a M 4/3 kit that worked well for it. Since I have relocated there is far too much traffic to deal with to go to a stable location.

@johnhitchon8043 1 year ago

What better way to enjoy a coffee watching your video. Espen I thought it might be a bit late for Puffins really enjoyed your video as always. I though you were on an E-Bike on one of your adventures ?

Self-igniting stoves can be somewhat temperamental. These days I always use a ferro rod instead of matches because it will always work no matter how wet it gets. I also carry a little BCB Fire Dragon stove - small, light, cheap as chips and utterly reliable. I've cooked meals on that after my Jetboil clone decided to stop working.

Odd that we never seem to see videos of the 35mm fanboys cycling around with their 600/f4 lenses ;)

How the heck do you get such sharp images, hand held, at such low shutter speeds? I use the OM-1 with the 100-400 (mark I for both) and need to shoot much faster to get sharp images. Beautiful shots.
