It’s always encouraging to know my efforts are appreciated, Ted, thanks !
The concept of micro 4/3 systems is to provide a smaller and lighter setups for bird and wildlife photography, yet, the OM System/Sigma lens goes against this principle. Additionally, I’ve also experienced issues with my back and wrists, so I think I will pass for it. The 300mm lens is excellent, but being a prime lens, it comes with certain drawbacks. Wishing you all the best from Belgium !

From my perspective, having used all the Sigma lens and now the Leica 100-400 the weight on the big lens is too limiting. Shooting wildlife in tropical/semi-tropical areas now with the OM-1 and 100-400 is so much easier. I’ve never used the Olympus 300 prime, however it sounds pretty good for stationary subjects.

Always enjoy your in-depth articles, certainly helped me make a move to Olympus. Thanks again.

Bonjour Daniel,

Cette fois, j’ai eu de l’aide de ChatGPT pour la traduction du néerlandais vers le français, j’espère que la traduction est correcte.
Je suis très heureux que vous aimiez lire mes articles.
J’espère seulement que cela aide réellement quelqu’un, car c’est mon seul objectif.
Le fait que la qualité de fabrication laisse parfois à désirer dans les appareils photo de nos jours est effectivement quelque chose de notre époque. D’un autre côté, la technologie se développe si rapidement de nos jours que votre appareil photo ne sera probablement utilisé que pendant environ cinq ans de toute façon. Et maintenant que l’IA a fait son apparition, nous pouvons probablement nous attendre à quelques innovations.
J’espère juste être là assez longtemps pour en voir certaines.

Tous mes vœux à vous, Daniel, et à la prochaine fois ! Marc R.

Hello Vicki,
Well, I’m not a professional photographer,
I was an IT professional, but today i’am retired.
As for lenses, I would never buy the most expensive one – spending €7500 on a lens is a bit over the top, but the 150-600mm does make me hesitate.
Currently I have three telephoto lenses, and each has its special purpose,
So I probably will keep them, but the comparisons have made me realize that I should use one of them more. And then I don’t actually have to buy the 150-600mm.
Thanks for reading, and take care !

Je ne doute aucunement que les nouvelles technologies et les nouveaux algorithmes embarqués soient plus performants, cependant et plus particulièrement chez Fujifilm pour ne citer que ce manufacturier, la construction de ces nouveaux modèles me semble de plus en plus légère d’ou cette confiance plus réduite en regard de la longévité du nouvel équipement. Fabulation ou non, seul l’expérience à long terme pourra trancher vraisemblablement.

Bonne continuation et c’est toujours un plaisir de vous lire, Daniel M

As an amateur who now uses my Sigma 150-500mm lens less as I don’t go for nature walks in the last couple of years, I felt this lens was just fine.

Surprisingly, when I bought it, I found the heavy weight actually steadied my hand-held shots, not weighed them down.

I can’t use a small point & shoot camera since I bought the 150-500mm lens as it’s too light and I can’t hold it steady enough. LOL

As to keeping all those lenses, well, you can’t use them all so maybe it’s time to sell a couple.
