Why wouldn't you use the 100-400 with the em1?If i had been keeping the 100-400 it would have been the G9 but as i knew my ownership of that lens would soon end i felt it didn't matter.

OkI was at the stage in my thinking that DFD with a pannylens could have the edge on speed and accuracy,not sure i was right though but i only had the 100-400 with the Olympus for a short while.
Ok
Did the 100-400 perform ok with the Olympus?
how can you fine tune a mirrorless lens/body mike?The short time i had it with the Olympus yes, i did have to do some AF fine tune but it was simple and only at 400mm.

The only advantage I can think of for PDAF is if you want to adapt old Four Thirds lenses, and only the EM1 twins have it. Just in case anyone thinks they will get it on all Oly bodies, nope, only the EM1 bodies.
Strangely, one of the popular lenses to adapt is the old 14-54 2.8 - 3.5 mkII, and that one actually works better with CDAF
Hard to tell which one is being rescuedI want one of these for chasing waders
Proper racing, not like that bland F1 stuff . They’re very atmospheric.Lawn mower racing, EM5 II

I use a small meke mk300 flash diffused or a godox tt685 diffused normally, it was the meke for these shots I think. Sorry for the late reply I've been busy.Nicely done, what flash set up are you using?

Got all my old 4/3 lenses working quite nicely on the Pen-f, probably faster focusing than the E-410 that they were on.
Nice, what OM lenses would you recommend? The G80 should handle them alright
A slight clockwise tweak?
They aren't OM lenses, they are the 4/3 lenses, the OM lenses I think of as the ones that fit the OM1/2 cameras.
The lenses I had to play with from my E-410 are the Olympus 35mm f/3.5 Zuiko Digital Macro, and the kit lens Olympus Digital 4-5.6/40-150 ED. Didn't bother with the kit 17.5-45.
The macro lens is pretty good but being a 35mm the distance to subject can get pretty close so tends to scare insects off. And on fast movers like bumblebees has no chance. Good for still subjects tho and can be had at a reasonable price from some places.
The 40-150 is handy to have in my pocket and I don't worry about damaging an expensive lens.
I have been having a look at some of the better old 4/3 lenses and they still command very high prices.
I'm still waiting for my OM to M4/3 adapter on the slow boat from China, so I won't have to use an OM to 4/3 to M4/3 setup.
Yeah sorry, it's 4/3 I was thinking. I have eyed up the 14-54 2.8 - 3.5 for one, I don't know what other lenses are supposed to be good, think there's a decent UWA too? I wonder how well they would perform on a Panasonic body, G80 in my case
The OM1 is manual focus only never had one myself I have an OM2sp though.Does the om1-mk1 have phase detection a/f ,still wondering about getting one
