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.
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.
This article discusses the use of M.Zuiko 150-600 Sync-IS technology and shares a selection of images captured handheld at Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls, Canada.
Today is National Bird Day… and is celebrated as a way to bring awareness to the challenges that birds around the world face on a daily basis. Over the past number of years, many of us who enjoy photographing birds have noticed a decline in bird populations in our local area.
Purging the past can be a daunting task when we start to review old photography files in an attempt to free up hard drive space. For the past number of months I’ve been spending a lot of time on my office computer system going back through old files looking for images that I can consider for some eBooks that I have under development.
This article shares a selection of bird images captured handheld with the M.Zuiko 100-400 and the FL-700WR flash unit. I recently renewed my annual membership at Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls. Since I had not yet used the M.Zuiko 100-400 zoom with the FL-700WR flash unit, I thought my recent visit to Bird Kingdom was an ideal opportunity to do so.
As nature and bird photographers we sometimes overlook the importance of being in the right place at the right time. Often our attention is overly focused on camera gear. We can spend hours debating the relative merits of camera format, brand, model and lenses used. If we care about our craft we’ll invest time in skills development like our eye/hand coordination. All of that goes for naught if we aren’t at the right place at the right time to capture our images.
For many people appreciating nature is a passion in their lives, and a cornerstone of their love of photography. Our readership family recently lost a long time member, Milton Joel Bateman. This article shares a selection of images from nature… and is dedicated to Joel and his love of nature photography.
This article shares a selection of digital teleconverter test images that were captured handheld today at 40 Mile Creek in Grimsby, using an E-M1X and M.Zuiko 100-400 zoom lens. During the 4 years that I’ve been using Olympus gear I haven’t paid too much attention to the digital teleconverter technology in my E-M1X.
