How does the MFT system compare for bird photography?
Grumpy GrandPa, Recently Retired.
Gotta K-3iii now, had a K-S2, K50 and so suffering from a relapse and so buying digital camera kit.
Previous addiction has resulted in using Zeniths, Yashicamat, Chinons, Minoltas, Samsungs, Fujis, Cosina, Kodak, Lumix, Canon, Nikon and Pentax etc etc - have tried most makes in the past 50 years. Love cameras - love taking photos even more

The main advantages are size and weight, 2 x full frame equivalence, and more specialist autofocus system on the Olympus OM1.
Lots of gear - but not a lot of idea!

I must say that the Olympus lens that is anything close to the quality of the 150-450mm is £6700 !!

Just got one (delivery this afternoon) in the Black Friday offers, certainly a beast compared to my other 400mm and 500mm film lens

Don't forget the focus limiter. I normally have to it set to 6m to infinity. When I first got it I was on safari and thought the lens was faulty as I just could not acquire focus on hyenas near the car. I then realised the limiter was what causing me to think the lens was faulty.

Kineton,
Warwickshire.
The lens was bought from Camera Centre in January this year, and is in mint condition.
I have not posted any images as, in effect, it is a new lens - it has had absolute minimal use.
It comes boxed, complete with caps and hood, and everything else that came in the box new.
Collection or a mutually convenient meet is possible - I live in South Warwickshire.
UK buyers only - payment by bank transfer or Paypal gift.
My price is £1250 delivered.
