    Having had several looks through Wells Woods this autumn, I can tell you: almost certainly b. all!

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Very many thanks. Interesting, but yes, looks a bit late now.

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Can you share the exact date and site please? Might it/they be twitchable? Also Norfolk Butterfly recorder and website offline due to illness at the moment. I was trying to share details of and get more background to the recent Cley Swallowtail.

    Very many thanks indeed, Alan. Much appreciated. A few us of have enjoyed this lovely bird now, as you probably know. (I took a few photos myself this afternoon - see cleybirds.com :) .)

    New OM-1

    Well, I've found I get more or less the same without either converter, ie with the bare 300mm and the OM1 set to C-AF, 4m-infinity, smallest focusing square and bird recognition on or off, it won't autofocus from close to far in one go and it's reluctant to focus from far to close in one go, so...

    New OM-1

    My OM1 + 300mm + 2x is the same: at least in poorish light it won't autofocus from close to distant in one jump without a nudge (ie by quickly helping it to the right ball park with manual focus or focussing on an intermediate distance first). Once in the right ball park - close or far - it does...

    Been a good year for Walls locally - ie Cley & Salthouse - plenty about.

    New OM-1

    Doesn't it just disable autofocus while you are holding it down, so it doesn't matter if it brushes against your leg while walking?

    New OM-1

    For what it's worth, I've had the OM1 + 300 f4 + 1.4x + 2x for a month or so now and I'm using it all the time with the 2x, so much so that I haven't even tried it yet with the 1.4x which remains completely unused (though I'm saving it for if ever I get the 150-400).

    New OM-1

    The one I got is advertised as 2000 mAh. I didn't notice it at the time, but this is slightly less capacity than the OM one. It works fine, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for that reason.

    New OM-1

    Just got my cheap third party battery (off Amazon) even though they said (after I'd ordered it) that it wouldn't arrive for another month. It seems absolutely fine, except that I now notice it's 2000mAh whereas the Olympus one in 2280mAh, so it'll presumably only last 88% as long for each...

    New OM-1

    The cheap JJC charger is fine, if a bit slow. It takes 4 hours plus to charge the battery from well down. It shows how the charge is progessing and it's supposed to cut off when fully charged to prevent over-charging.
