M.Zuiko 150-600 with MC-14

This article shares some images captured with the M.Zuiko 150-600 and MC-14 teleconverter, and provides some personal observations about using this combination.

I spent a few days working with this combination, mainly experimenting with photographing birds in flight as I thought this would be the primary interest of readers.

Goose Aggression with 150-600

Goose aggression is quite common during most times of the year and can be heightened during the mating season. Last week I was out getting in some practice with my M.Zuiko 150-600 mm f/5-6.3 IS at Forty Mile Creek, when an unexpected burst of goose aggression occurred.

Working a Subject Bird

Working a subject bird by changing our physical position, and adjusting the focal length of our lens, can add challenge and variety to our photography.

For the past couple of weeks a Wood Duck has been visiting 40 Mile Creek. This bird has provided area bird watchers and photographers with a visual treat. This article features a selection of handheld images and discusses some of the things I try to do when working a subject bird like this Wood Duck.

M.Zuiko 150-600 with MC-20

I recently did an M.Zuiko 150-600 with MC-20 teleconverter handheld field test at 40 Mile Creek in Grimsby. Many of the launch videos for the M.Zuiko 150-600 mm f/5-6.3 zoom lens done by OM Ambassadors, made specific mention of the M.Zuiko MC-20 teleconverter… and the possibility of achieving 2400 mm efov reach.

The question that begs to be asked is how realistic is it to use the MC-20 with the M.Zuiko 150-600 mm, especially when that lens is fully extended? And… is this possible to do that handheld? This article shares my observations using this combination. It is not intended to represent a definitive assessment… only my first hand experience.

M.Zuiko 150-600 Focal Range Test

This article shares some handheld images from an M.Zuiko 150-600 focal range test done recently at Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls. The objective of this posting is to illustrate how using the extreme focal lengths (i.e. wide and telephoto) of our zoom lenses can impact our compositions…  depth-of-field… and the number of pixels on subjects.

New Nature Lens

After placing my order directly with OM Digital Solutions at the end of January, my new nature lens, the M.Zuiko150-600 mm f/5-6.3 IS, arrived late this afternoon. Obviously I haven’t had time to put this new nature lens through its paces. I will be doing so during the weeks and months ahead, so you can expect to see numerous articles about my hands-on field testing.

Cotton Carrier G3 Harness for 2 Cameras Review

After a few weeks of ongoing use, I thought it was time for me to do a Cotton Carrier G3 Harness for 2 Cameras Review. As I’ve been progressed more into the ‘mature’ ranks of humanity,  I’ve been contemplating getting some kind of camera support to reduce arm, neck and back strain.

After doing some research and then talking to a couple of other photographers who have the Cotton Carrier G3 Harness, I decided this was my best option.
