p.55 #1 · Olympus E-M1 Mk II


skamaraju I have no idea. I'm completely new to this camera. On the snowy I see a focused eye which is a step forward but agree the feather detail is scant; there is more when viewed at Flicker where you can zoom in. Now all images so far have been at a distance so that fits into the equation too doesn't it?

Now I'm real curious about the fine-tune but with Olympus I'd need help, often I don't get much out of their manual, as in post a step-by-step please.

BUT, we're looking at the IQ and rightly so, new camera and we are curious. Gary's work shows stellar image quality so we know it is me and not the gear......right now I'm not focused on IQ, I'm focused on the AF/AF-tracking, specifically tracking-that is what I'm on this trip for and in that regard I'm very impressed with what Olympus has done.

I have a curiosity question about mFT in general (Panasonic or Olympus), when using say the 100-400mm and shooting far off (the Ibis which I called Storks), how much feather detail should I expect noting the distance to the Ibis' was at minimum 30-40 yards/meters and maybe a touch more.

Depends on atmospheric stability. MFT will degrade much quicker with unstable air.

I agree with I was Joe King,

Atmospheric conditions (humidity here in Florida) plays havoc with long shots at long focal lengths.

The image you just posted shows some pretty good detail, for a white bird. Feather detail is much easier to come by with darker feathered birds.

Have had no luck with BIF and the cedar waxwings. Hopefully I will have better photos to show after this weekend. A few shots from last weekend. The shot of the woodpecker is a very heavy crop.

None available yet. I ordered this universal Sunwayfoto plate as I need an L-plate to mount my camera and 300 PRO to my Wimberley Sidekick:

Note that a standard 4" base plate will cover your battery door. If you don't have to have an L-plate I would recommend a 2" universal plate ... until dedicated plates become available.

Bobby, what are you using as a raw converter?

Lightroom CC 2015.8 Release. Camera Raw 9.8

I understand that this is only a preliminary release for the Mk II and High Res files will not open in LR for now - so you will have to open High Res files in Olympus Viewer, and then import them into LR as TIFF files.

Wow, great shot Medicine Man. Looks like you got it dialed in now. I see you used ISO 64. I haven't tried that yet, any tips?
