This lens has been on my mind for a while now. I have one on order and I was surprised my dealer said they seen a couple come in used. I was shocked anyone would sell it, but as anything, everyone has their reasons. I’ve been using the 300 pro and it seems fabulous but I will trade a couple of things for this lens if it comes in. The flexibility seems outstanding and I’m using the OM1 more and more.

I came to the OM-1 and 150-400 from the Sony A1 and 200-600. Both are fantastic and both have advantages and disadvantages, as all systems do now.
A1 and 200-600 definitely more reliable CAF for BIF, but can be challenging to initially acquire focus, but locks on and sticks once it finds it. OM acquires quicker, but will drop focus and reacquire after a few - fine if you have a prolonged sequences, but annoying if you have a short window of opportunity.
A1 buffer is bigger and clears quicker, especially with fast CF cards. OM buffer fills quickly at the 50fps, especially if using pro-capture.
Pro-capture is a game changer, and one of the primary reasons I went with OM - it is amazing. If Sony had such a feature, I would have stayed. The other pro of the OM is the 150-400. The 200-600 is a very nice lens, absolutely no complaints from me, but the 150-400 is simply sublime and the reach is amazing. For me, the pro-capture and the 150-400 convinced me to sell off the Sony (had to in order to buy the 150-400).
The example photo is almost routine with the OM, almost impossible to get that instant with the Sony in my experience. I never thought I'd sell the A1, it was the best camera I had ever used, but the performance of the OM was close enough, and had a few advantages for me, that I migrated....Show more →
