Having owned my omd1-mkii since early sept and living within a couple of hundred yards of the estuary ,I have been doing b.i.f since day one .. the Panasonic 100-400 has the reach and given good light the clarity ,it’s f6.3 basically the same as a sigma .. ,I do find it struggles in poor light ,but realistically I should Not be taking shots in that sort of light .. the a.f once locked on rarely misses a beat and any discards are user error on my part the exposure is always spot on to ,and a lot of shots have a clarity and brightness above the actual conditions on the day .. it’s a camera that does need the user to think about there settings before pressing the shutter something I sometimes forget ..
I have tried a Sony A9 with 200-400 and while fast and good it was to heavy for me in the present circumstances .i will post one of yesterday’s shots in a bit .judge for yourself ..
I am also sat on the fence over lenses ,I have a four thirds 50-200 f 2.8 plus 1.4 tc that works via a adaptor with NO loss of functinality I.e lightning fast a.f And sharpness and I am debating which one to use as my main lens ..
As inferred in this everyone’s needs are different and there capabilities to ,my change Over has been Swayed by my heart And age ( 73 )problems if I hadn’t taken this path I would probably have had to give up .. but has it been a good move so far yes it’s not restricted any form of photography at all ,would I do it again most definetly yes
