Have a look through my Flickr stream damion over the last 18 months ,I don’t hide exif data you should be able to find various combos of camera and lenses on there make your own mind up
That looks pretty darn good Alf.I got a Laowa 50mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro Lens today I set it up on my EM1 ii with my STF-8 and tested it on some springtails on my bin and water butt but also on some vegetation but those were one handed.
Here is a heavy crop from a 2:1 shot

Ref the 150-400mm, another Imaging Resource interview.....but on the design and engineering aspects
A deep look at the tech behind the Olympus 150-400mm super-tele zoom (Engineer interview!)
The Olympus M.Zuiko 150-400mm F4.5 TC1.25X IS PRO (that's a mouthful!) has been one of the most-anticipated lenses in recent years, offering an equivalent focal length range of 300-1,000mm in a single optic, thanks…www.imaging-resource.com

Got my silly head on today and a severe case of GAS so oops I just bought a 7artisans 60mm macro lens .. there getting good reviews. On the interwebby thing ,so why not .. got all my macro lighting bits and bobs left from last years insect foray so why not .. getting ready as spring is springing LOL
Last week the 100-400 with the 1.4 t/c was fantastic for macro - you’re dangerous, you are !
Oh dear I fear this will get expensiveIt’s this bloody lockdown the cars doing 3 months to the gallon .. and in all honesty I can’t see the restrictions in wales changing much come Friday . So just sat here playing the piano on e.bay ,nearly bought a spotting scope earlier but the interwebby went down as I bid ,the gales I presume , then i spotted this lens .. according to the reviews it compares favourably with the oly 60mm ..
I’ll still use the long lens for butterflies etc ,might need another small body for the macro lens though hmmmmm
Watch this space

Well I just tried my Raynox 250 on the front of the 100-400 zoom, 7mm across the frame equal to 2.46 : 1 magnification, 50-60 mm distance at 400 and gets to keep all the stacking/bracketing Olympus features, plus it fits in your pants pocket and attaches in a jiffy!It’s this bloody lockdown the cars doing 3 months to the gallon .. and in all honesty I can’t see the restrictions in wales changing much come Friday .

I might have one of them, I will check laterHave put a wanted add for the plastic fantastic 40-150 ED M.Zuiko in case anyone has one in the cupboard
This sounds very interesting JeffMajor update to Adobe today it includes a new feature in camera raw called super resolution , which up scales your photos by a factor of 4 ,aimed at wildlife photographers it turns a 16mp image into 64 mp
just had a demo by my lad ,interesting as I ended up with a 43mp image BUT its not for me or my ageing i.mac taking far to long to process one photo I'll stick to what works for me ..if it aint broke dont fix it .. and as I have no intention of updating my system in the foreseeable future .. game overThis sounds very interesting Jeff
As always Jeff your photographs are great, can you confirm the lens is sharp enough and I take it its manual everything only?
