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 discusses some of my M.Zuiko 150-600 BIF first impressions, and shares a selection of bird-in-flight images captured handheld with this lens. Some of which were captured at 600 mm (efov 1200 mm). Also included are some perspectives on the weight of this 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.
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.
This is a hands-on, real life review based on years of in-the-field experience. You won’t have to read any specifications regurgitated from a manual or spec sheet. If you want that material, it is readily available on the internet.

This article features a selection of images of small birds-in-flight captured handheld with an M.Zuiko MC-14 Teleconverter at Grimsby Wetlands. These photographs were taken earlier in the spring during a particularly productive visit to Grimsby Wetlands (also referred to locally as Biggar Lagoons Wetlands).
Lately, I’ve been wondering more and more if photographers have become spoiled by the technology found in their camera equipment. Over time, we’ve been treated so well by camera manufacturers that many of us fail to really appreciate the incredible image making power of the gear we hold in our hands every day. There really is no such thing as a ‘bad’ camera system today.
