This Robin was absolutely certain I was going to give it some feed, did nothing but pose on different bushes for me. The Robins (and Blue Tits) at Middleton are so dependent on hand outs even at this time of year.
Taken with my Fuji XT50 & Tamron 150-500mm, ƒ/10 1/4000 500mm ISO5000. First time with a bit of post polish from NIK Collection, quite fun to play with.
Bonus fat Robin
OM System has a 150-600mm which I believe is the longest they make. It’s also compatible with a 2x teleconverter. I couldn’t imagine getting 2400mm FF. I think I’d be happy with the 100-400mm and maybe the 1.4x teleconverter. 1120mm FF seems like plenty, seeing as I’m at 600mm now. You can’t beat 800mm equivalent for $800.
OM has an excellent 300mm f/4 prime I dream of. It’s the sharpest telephoto lens they have, but it’s pricey at $2500. Some folks here have it and I’m envious.
I actually like the IBIS a lot on my camera. I took this photo handheld @ 286mm, f/8, 1/50s and I’m really impressed how sharp it is.
Thats lovely.
I just feel mine isnt consistent, especially at lower speeds, its definitely more consistent with it off.
I would kill for that amount of reach, would be able to get some of the birds they pick up on the proper scopes that the twitchers use.
Cannot beat a large prime if you got the pockets for it, but I dont. To replace my Tamron I would want both the 200mm and the 500mm, thats about £5k used.
I am waiting for the XH3s to be launched then the 2s will drop even more and that will be my next purchase. The XH2s actually has an electronic shutter worth using due to its very low readout time, and its burst mode is 40 fps without cropping.
Yeah I use electronic shutter almost exclusively now. My OM-1 has a stacked sensor so the readout time is really fast, something like 6ms. I don’t notice any rolling shutter. I think I can push it to 50fps with C-AF or 120fps locked.
Wow thats fast, would love that sort of performance, must make actionshots so much easier. XT50 is like 50ms, its fine as long as you don’t go faster than 4000/s so you can still use the mechanical shutter, but 8fps is super painful
