They surely need to hold something back from the spec sheet to avoid killing OM-1 sales?

I ended up with one of each and actually find the control ring annoying as it falls too easily to hand and gets accidentally turned!

I already did that in post #2 above. I went from the M3 to M6 to M6ii. My M6ii was a huge improvement over the M3 and the M50ii was released after the M6ii so could potentially be better still. Also the kit lens topcat07already has for the M3 will work just fine on the M50ii, whereas going to...

The AF speed of the last generation of EOS-M cameras was a big improvement over their earlier cameras, so from that point of view the M50ii would be better than the M3. Other than the change of lens mount, the R50 isn't much of an improvement over the M50ii - the sensor is the same size and...

Not that exact combo but I’ve had good results with the R7, EF converter, 1.4xii and a 300/f4 so I’d expect your combo to work perfectly well. In general a lens+teleconverter combo that barely works on an EF camera will actually work better on an RF one in my experience as the RF cameras are...

I’ve been using the 600/11 on an R7 for a while and it’s very good. Higher iso settings on the recent R-series cameras make F11 perfectly usable in UK light and I’ve had good results for bird photography. The main downside I’ve found with the 600 is the minimum focus distance which is 4.5m and...

The 300 with a 2x is an actual focal length of 600mm so an equivalent on the OM1 of 1200 rather than 1000. Angle of view is 1.65 by 1.24 degrees (horizontal and vertical) which will result in a field of view at 350m of 10m by 7.5m. An Osprey is 1.5 to 1.8m wingspan so will not fill the frame...

Simple answer is not very well! I don't have an S5 so can't confirm what it would be like on that, but the Commlite adapter I bought works with some lenses and not others, and some cameras and not others! The Leica CL is particularly fussy it seems so very little works with that. Even when it...

Using an EF-S lens on the adapter automatically switches my EOS-R body to crop mode and works just fine, albeit with the obvious reduced pixel count. Likewise using an EF-S lens on the same adapter on any one of the RF-S bodies (R7, R10, R50, R100) will work fine too.

Agree completely with this. I have the Move-shoot-move which does a fine job for milky-way wide angle stuff as well as some moderate telephoto targets like the Andromeda galaxy or the Orion Nebula. My son has a Sky Watcher pro which will take heavier kit and is more accurate for longer telephoto...

Looks very good, yet you're selling that lens - any reason for that?

Yes, manual focus switches to a magnified view to aid in precise focussing. The photo will be the one you see in the wide view.

I've just looked it up - it's over a kg! My 45P is 320g so how is this 4 times heavier?! It's also 4 times the cost, so maybe I'll stick to the one lens :D

Happy to take the 80 off your hands if you need to offload it ;)
