How comes you've sold your lens / teleconverter Malfis (saw the adverts in the classifieds) - are you moving to another system ?

Very nice if you got a spare £90 just before xmas ...An interesting comparison between Topaz & Photolab denoise software.

This is in keeping with my findings. It's going to cost me around £50 to upgrade to Photolab 4 and my Topaz Denoise now requires a new licence at £40, so I shall go with Photolab - Photolab 3 has become my main editor anyway so it makes sense for me.An interesting comparison between Topaz & Photolab denoise software.

Yes I agree you can't keep chasing small things, and if you're happy with what you have, there's no need to change. For me there are other improvements to Photolab that will make it worthwhile. The interface is so much better now with the workspace more organised plus a few other bits and pieces. The lead designer has been in touch asking for feedback, which greatly impresses me. There are still a couple of things I'm missing from Lightroom, such as soft proofing but so far I'm happy.Personally I don’t think he was using the latest version of topaz either ,you now get four different window options and simply choose which is best ,then improve slightly via the sliders as required ...
I also like the continuous upgrades it is now far far removed from the fairly basic version I started off with back in March ? . In fact if it’s a case of paying to continue with there upgrades next year so be it ..
It’s the oldest game in the book slight incremental improvements to keep the tills ringing

superb pair of shots well doneOK, not been out that much lately and not used the MC-20 (2x) converter I purchased back in the spring very much, so at lunchtime despite the very dull overcast weather, I took a very short walk to a local nature reserve near to my offices. With my mask on, it was thankfully pretty deserted. I wandered around with my EM1X and the 300mm F4 pro with the MC-20 attached (so 1,200mm effective FOV) and fitted with my Olympus EE-1 dot sight. However, other than a few ducks it was pretty desolate and quiet. That was until I heard a commotion in the sky and looked up to see a buzzard being mobbed by crows. Just using the EE-1, I positioned the red dot over the subject and just rattled off about 10 frames. All but 1 to my surprise were sharp. All this was handheld at just 1/800 sec f9 @ ISO640 (you have got to love Olympus's IBIS).
Even at 1,200mm, with them being very high in the sky, these are still pretty significant crops (down to 6 and 9mp respectfully). I hope you like
Liking the buzzard pics, we have a pair locally I must try to photograph. Just learning the new system first, having switched from full frame to Olympus - I have the em1iii with 300mm pro and 1.4 converter, looks like I need the EE-1 dot sight too!OK, not been out that much lately and not used the MC-20 (2x) converter I purchased back in the spring very much, so at lunchtime despite the very dull overcast weather, I took a very short walk to a local nature reserve near to my offices.

6am in the morning I dont think I could get an egg out of its shell let alone take in the contents of a lecture DavidJust saw this event for birding with Olympus, looks worth a watch.
While he is a good photographer and does some fairly interesting videos ,he is a long way short of of a bird/ wildlife tog .. in fact while most of the Olympus visionaries were lent the new 100-400 to try out it very nearly backfired as most of them didn’t have a clue on how to use a long lens .. it was only a very few of them including Andy rouse that saved the day ..Have a look at Peter’s settings for bird photography, they look good to me.

You would be far better off asking those of us that produce good bird/ wildlife photos on here for advice .. even changing a few settings based on internet theories can cut your keeper rate down ,as I recently found out ....
And me , if they asked me to test a new wide angle lens for landscape or wedding photography I wouldn’t have a clue how to set the camera up . Perhaps it boils down to having a u.tube channel up and runningI sometimes wonder who these visionaries are and what their track records and skills consist of........
Looks like the new 150-400 lens is being field tested at the moment , so should be announced shortly ,Olympus did state before xmas .. be out of my price range but I eagerly await the 100 mm macro
It appears Europe and the u.k were first in line and there now supplying the u.s.a so who knowsIt would be nice if they could get some copies of the 100-400 into the shops. It's been a long time.
I would also like to see how the predicted 8-24 reviews and the price
UK Digital have the m.100-400 in stock at the moment.It would be nice if they could get some copies of the 100-400 into the shops. It's been a long time.
