I highly recommend all the new lens owners to experiment with both mechanisms to see, which will bring them better results. MyReality: The AF in the E-M10 is contrast detect only and moreover, 15fps is available only in AFS. and 2x teleconverters (which accounts for its increased size), as well as focus stacking and seamless AF on Olympus bodies –though we really wish that it featured Sync-IS (something that is reserved for Pro lenses like the 150-400mm). A 100-400mm is more for versatility than getting the absolute sharpest picture possible, so bear that in mind going in.

In addition to the many great principal specs, there is one that will probably be addressed by a lot of people, and that is its minimum aperture. It's simple, the quality is the SAME, the difference is that I can set the composition how I want it. com is a trading name of Jessops Europe Limited, a company registered in England and Wales, company number 08384909.MyReality: I just wanted to warn you that the E-M10 IV seems like one the weakest current cameras on the market, when continuous autofocus and burst shooting is needed. Handling is refined and the oversized AF/MF and dual-mode static/panning stabilization switch are easy to operate even with gloves on. Just follow the simple instructions, entering your personal details as required and we'll do the rest. When I target-tested the lenses at home on my models of lizards I also noticed something very interesting.

Now I will not lie and tell you everyone was razor sharp, of course not, it's 1400mm and I am moving as well as the subject. At this particular competition, my photographs were not only in the Final but also, one of my finalist images became a central promotional piece of the whole 2015 WPY travelling exhibition. Panasonic has three equally grooved rings in a row and it’s easy sometimes to grab the Zoom ring instead of Focusing one.

The key point to appreciate is that with such a long telephoto, depth of field is extremely limited, so it’s essential to position a fine focus point exactly where you need it, to ensure the subject is properly sharp. as you will have the opportunity to take photos of other smaller insects than just dragonflies or butterflies. But it’s still perfectly nicely made, and OM System says that it’s built with the same standard of dust, splash and freeze-proofing as its Pro-series lenses, which have proven to be extremely robust.

Although Micro Four Thirds lenses and bodies can of course be used interchangeably, users of Olympus cameras might want to consider the Olympus 100-400mm F5. More importantly though, the optical design has been updated for greater sharpness, which is impressive throughout the zoom range.I've been considering picking up an Olympus system just for wildlife photography - I could pick up this and a used E-M1X up for not much more than a 100-400 from Canon or Nikon. So by the time you remove the intro waffle and the misguided statements, well there really wasn't a lot left. Fujifilm’s latest medium format flagship brings updated autofocus and faster shooting, but how does it compete with high-end full-frame models? It does have a switchable dual-mode autofocus system, enabling you to give priority to autofocus or manual override. Assessing the OM System 100-400mm for image quality can be a difficult task, because its performance is so intimately tied to the fact that long telezooms are most likely to be used outdoors to shoot moving subjects, such as wildlife, sports, or vehicles.

On the left side of the barrel is a conventional control panel, with a set of well-spaced switches for limiting the autofocus distance range (1. Maybe I'm wrong, but, to me, 100-400 mm is 100-400mm whatever the sensor and the equivalent depth of field are. For one, he's wrong in saying (if I remember correctly) that 400mm for a zoom generally is less than for a prime.

It loses nothing in terms of sharpness or brightness so I shot most of the time with it engaged - 1000mm reach if I wanted it.On a Micro Four Thirds camera from Olympus or Panasonic, meanwhile, a 100-400mm will provide a considerable focal range of 200-800mm, allowing for impressively long-ranged shooting. Similarly, shooting certain stationary forest motifs such as orchids or owls etc, won’t pose any obstacles especially in combination with a tripod. That is generally true but on a long lens even a small aperture is big enough to not cause visible diffraction. For me the 150-400mm is the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle and now I have the perfect system for my professional needs.
