Yes, but it wasn't super warm inside the vehicle, the camera was cool to the touch, but yes, there was still quite a drop in temperature from that to outside. Not sure how long it takes for the lens temp to reach an unaffected level.
I drive around with the windows open in winter.
Yes, but you can't do that in -40 C for very long, unless you want to die.
I'm very pleased with the OM-1 results using 300mm f4 and f2.8. The camera is certainly capable of capturing good images.
Yes, I agree, which is why I'm perplexed by its present performance. Perhaps it will turn out to be that Auto IS setting.
friend (shooting a lot longer than me) and I were shooting (handheld), side by side, a Pygmy owl a couple/few weeks ago. we both have an OM-1 and the 150-400. we were outside of the vehicle the entire time (I had on the 2.0 TC as well as the littlest owl was also 70 meters from us...darned happy the sun was out for nearly the entire time).
another camera operator was shooting from inside a parked car about 20' away from us...i saw the heat billowing out the same window that her long lens was also pointed out of. it was only about -12C.
so...we also found two wolves, a great horned owl, and 4 great gray owls.
yes, i had thousands of burst images to go through.
i had only just begun going through the two GGO we found first thing in the morning on the way out (we were going for the Pygmy) and he called me to say all of his Pygmy shots were garbage. I asked him how the hell he determined (looked through them all already). He did not reply. I assumed he wasn't shooting burst sequences as long as mine.
anyhoo...he was so upset by the days results that he said he was shelving photography for a while (because during the day he kept looking at my in focus at long distance shots and he had none of the same).
-a few days later he called to say there was a couple IS settings he found that were wrong. I asked but he did not say. Also while we were out there he noticed he had human face detection on.
i had plenty of keepers (to my standards) of the day with the 2.0 on. one never knows.
