.... Superb photo!! Same as you, I prefer the 150-400mm zoom to the exceptionally sharp 300mm F/4 Pro (sold to help buy the Big White!) for dragonflies but have not managed good in-flight shots of them with it. I think I am going to be more successful with my white 50-200mm F/2.8 when the...

.... I have had lots of success focus stacking onboard camera on all E-M1X, OM-1, OM-1 mk2 bodies with the Big White 150-400mm and that also includes with either MC-14 or MC-20. The key to increasing the chances of success can be greatly helped by mounting on a monopod which I tend to mostly do...

.... VERY nice indeed!! A very newly emerged one judging by the pristine shiny wings. Also, body colour not fully pumped up yet.

.... I have been using my 150-40mm on Dragonflies for 4 years now and its Minimum Focal Distance makes it very practical. It also supports onboard camera Focus Stacking ~ Best done on a monopod. The 50-200mm performs the same but even when a MC-14 is mounted the 150-400 with built-in 1.25x has...

.... I have been regularly (thousands of RAW images every week) shooting sports action for many months now and find the 50-200mm 'Small White' to be faultless. It replaced my excellent Oly 40-150mm F/2.8 Pro which I had since 2019. Heavy rain and mud are no problem to the OM white lenses. I...

.... Fabulous textures captured. Shows off the Oly 300mm Pro lens!

.... I would not be at all happy with that ~ In fact I simply wouldn't do it. Football clubs and subsequently their players, only receive the photos which I am happy to release and only when they are ready after my culling and editing the RAW files. All the teams I photograph are very happy with...

On the subject of batteries, I would not recommend using any other than OEM and therefore I would recommend against third-party batteries. I would rather pay to have peace of mind and the knowledge that Olympus/OMD would sort out any issues. It's not worth the gamble. All in my opinion. I use...

.... You are not wrong ~ The Oly 40-150 F/2.8 PRO is absolutely weather resistant to a IP51 certification. The OM 50-200mm and OM-1 mk2 are both IP53. I had my 40-150 from 2019 to this year and it was subjected to many many long sessions in pouring rain and without those fiddly third-party...

.... I see what you mean but you soon get used to instantly recognising which frames to keep and which to delete when culling dozens of images before editing. I only use OM Workspace for previewing the downloaded card's contents and culling ready to Move (not Copy) to my ON1 Editor. You can...

.... I have frequently shot bursts of over 150 RAW images at 50fps on Electronic Shutter SH2, including ProCapture on my OM-1 and never had a buffering problem. I use Sony TOUGH UHS2 SD cards which write fast. But I have never needed to switch out of ProCapture during the card being written yet.

..... Regarding the weight of the OM 150-400 when out shooting, it is especially well balanced when a Battery Grip is also mounted on the camera body. Okay, the Battery Grip adds more weight so you have to decide how the balance and hence weight FEELS to you personally. The Battery Grip also...

.... It certainly is a very flexible and practical lens. Your comments are showing that you obviously know when you would use this lens and your collections of images online also demonstrate that and also they include that you have a great eye for composition and an understanding of how...

.... Here is my review I posted in 2021 : https://www.e-group.uk.net/forum/forum/cameras-lenses-and-system-accessories/lens-focus/telephoto/844601-practical-review-olympus-ed-150-400mm-tc-pro#post844604 Without reading it all (it's long) again I don't remember if I advised mounting it on a...

..... I pre-ordered mine about 4 years ago and have shot the 150-400mm on the E-M1X and OM-1 'mk1' and now OM-1 mk2. I'll reply much more fully to you later today and also link a review I wrote. But long story short, I very strongly recommend the lens if you shoot subjects which benefit from...
