Nice to hear someone that explains the equivalent factor and depth of field difference correctly!

@MorkusReX 2 years ago

Just ordered mine ... With the OM-1 MK2 it will be a glorious wildlife combo.

@main_game 5 years ago

I wonder how it looks and feels when you attach it to E-M10 body 😬

@dp8460 5 years ago (edited)

you clarified the misconception really well, its kinda annoying when reviewers tell you smaller sensor captures less light when their sensor pixel size is just same size as full frame... its only the field of view that is doubled.... MFT aperture size is not doubled to match the light capture of 35mm but to match depth of field of same focal length.. basically a MFT f1.4 will let in the same light as any other format F1.4 wether it is a tiny sensor or full frame sensor.

@Kels_ZA 5 years ago

Wow, I don't shoot olympus but what a lens. Thanks for dispelling the sensor/fstop myth YouTube.

@stantorian 5 years ago (edited)

Nice one...so essentially....with my mc20 teleconverter on I can go all the way to 600mm - 2000mm.....maybe someone can do a review with the teleconverter attached.

@cherrob48 3 years ago

You have probably discovered by now that those 4 black do not give you 4 different options to set: you can only assign one function - the four black buttons provide 4 ways to turn their function on. It is to make it ergonomically easy to to no matter the size of your hands, or orientation you are holding it, or R or L handed. 😊

@davidarlincooper 5 years ago

The SFx guy does nature shots! Really like the pictures and feel you gave a good demonstration of the capabilities of this lens. Appreciate it.

@DavidLiuOES 5 years ago

Seth, whenever you can, please let us know how good the autofocus is for birds in flight and other fast moving animals (e.g. running dogs). Thanks.

@yan870126 5 years ago

Still f4.5 during 1.25x? I thought it will become f5.6 when engaged the 1.25x tele converter?

@kb1qzh 5 years ago

I actually have a question on how to hand hold. I have the 100-400, which doesn't tie the lens IS and body IS together (no Sync IS), and I felt "unstable" shooting the egrets at Pelham Bay Park

@DanielNortonPhotographer 5 years ago

Very cool! That tele-converter switch is pretty sweet.

@garylayton3596 2 years ago

Hi, could you recommend a backpack for OM-1 with OM 150-400. Thanks in Advance

@marcusbeasley3212 5 years ago

That looks like a very compact (for what it is) birding kit. I've been at Prospect Park, nice park, lot's of walking.

@mywildlifestories3793 5 years ago

Adorama, could we have episodes on wildlife photography as well from pro's of respective fields

@DLD_Photography 5 years ago

Great lens. I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago but won't be receiving it until the end of the year. About the 4 buttons around the lens. It was my understanding that all 4 of them do the same thing when programed. Can you clarify?
