    It’s a decent lens IMHO. For its range it’s fairly compact. Stabilisation is great and the semi macro capability is great for close ups. IQ is generally excellent, but focussed near infinity at 300, I find some loss of sharpness. It could be atmospheric factors so I’m not calling it as a lens...

    I got some raw files from Chris. The barrel distortion is indeed there, but only when the files are not digitally corrected. The 20-60 lens retains some geometric distortion from its optical design and needs digital correction in post processing to remove it. The camera will do this in its...

    If you could drop the raw files for these into the free Dropbox or similar, that would be super!

    A friend has one of those, with a Z9. He does a lot of rugby tournament shooting, often in s***ty light in the middle of winter. The shots from the combo look amazing!

    Well, it’s been a journey for you, but at least you have been able to try it - so you now cross that off the list and move on!

    I know a few others have mentioned this already, but I think in general that Olympus/OM provide a more suitable system for birding. Your S5 has neither the AF capabilities nor the frame rates to match an OM1, EM1x, or EM1.3. On top of that, you’ll get smaller and lighter lenses for equivalent...
