Having carried one for years… I will pass. But certainly good for others.

Well, that’s certainly surprising ! Three OM users on six photographers. That’s very nice to hear. Apparently the micro 4/3 system is catching on for birds and wildlife after all. The 150 – 600mm is still something I have to think about, ultimately it is more weight, and the question is whether I really need that extreme range here in Belgium.
Bedankt Ted !

this morning, early. Over the course of the morning a came on 5 other photographers, all nature/wildlife. Including myself we had 3 OM System users, 2 Canon, 1 Nikon. There was even a new 150-600 OM lens. A new interesting mix for sure πŸ˜‚.

Hey Bernhard, no, I bought the lenses specifically to use on one of my m4/3 cameras. But I was wrong about the type, it is not Pentax Q but Pentax 110 – I have a special adapter, and it seems to work without any problems. There are even reviews about it on YouTube. Whether there is sharpness all the way to the edges is a different story, they all also have a fixed aperture of f2.8, but we will see what it gives. Regards, Marc.

do you have a Pentax Q camera too? Because the imagecircle of the Q-Lenses are to small for MFT.

Best regards

Bernhard

Heard of MFT-C, but not used it yet.
However, I am currently experimenting with three Pentax Q lenses – a 50mm, 24mm and 18mm, absolutely tiny!
I certainly won’t call you mad, because I regularly have to restrain myself from buying gear – but I try, with the emphasis on try πŸ™‚ only to buy what I can test or use in the short term.
MFT as a teleconverter is exactly why I made the choice – for birds and wildlife, I think there is little better.
Regards,
Marc.

Hi Marc

I have not only MFT cameras, i have Sony E-Mount, Canon EF and RF, Sigma SD, Pentax, Samsung NX and NX mini, Nikon 1, Pentax Qx, Some with different Infrared filter, some full spectrum … yes you can call me mad πŸ˜€

Have you tried for MFT C-Mount lenses? By the way, i could reactivate my MFT Cameras and try to use C-Mount lenses again.

I use MFT cameras as an “tele converter” πŸ˜€

Best regards Bernhard

Hey Bernhard, I’m also close to 10 cameras myself πŸ™‚ but only Olympus. The only disadvantage with micro 4/3 and vintage lenses is the magnification factor of 2 – at least at the smaller focal lengths – for telephoto it is an advantage!
Thanks for your visit and comment Bernhard!
Marc.

i am satisfied with my current Olympus and Panasonic MTF Cameras (up to 10). I am using analog (vintage) lenses more than 99% at my photo trips …

Best regards

Hello,
If you already have an OM1, an upgrade is probably a bit too early now, because I just wrote to another visitor that I am currently still very satisfied with my equipment.
And I’m still on E-M1 MKIII and E-M1X.
I also have the 300mm, but I am actually more satisfied with the compact and light 100-400mm Leica – the 300mm is slightly sharper, but the comfort of being able to zoom does not outweigh, but that is very personal and for everyone different of course.
Thank you for visiting my site, and I hope to see you here again, you are certainly welcome!
Marc.
