shot with my new Oly 300mm F4 (field of view is equivalent to 600mm on a FF sensor) so it was a little ways away.. in lens IS works in tandem with the IBIS.. it was overcast.. minimal PP in LR.. cropped a bit

and the original RAW file

I always love catching up on this thread. Such good work in here.

Spent the week in Hawaii, and as always, found some good photo ops. Tried my hand at some underwater shots.

Also, the North Shore was HUGE. We had a trip booked to go swim with sharks, but the ocean was too angry to get out there. Super bummed, but a good excuse to go back.

So what is your verdict on the lens? Have you tried it with the 1.4-MC?

It is built like a brick shithouse... AF is super fast (unless on CAF on my EM5ii which does not have PDAF then it hunts on fast approaching subjects).. The IS is astounding combined with the in body IS.. The few shots I have with it in decent light have been exceptional... I recently got a red dot site for birds in flight and I'm hoping it works as well with this lens as it seemed to with my 40-150 the other day... I took some with the 1.4MC but the light was so poor it wasn't a true test.. it is quite a bit of reach tho!

Here's a pano of Baker I took handheld with some decent light tho it was blowing hard my first day out with it..

RAW file

What I'm really looking forward to is taking some shots in Hi Rez mode with it
