    Yes Australians are very lucky with their spiders not so with their politicians!

    M50 for bird!

    Thank you Niels. I use the Panasonic G85 with the 100-400 lens, love the G85 but would never try BIF shots. I am more a macro shooter and that's what I use the M50 for and its great for macro. Charming little camera and I have it sitting there so would like to give it a try and test the water...

    Put on a scary face!

    Many spiders here in New Zealand show strange animal or human face's no doubt to scare predators away! Female Two spined spider.

    M50 for bird!

    Hi, I've never used anything other than MFT kit for birds and have been generally very happy with the system though poor light and high iso use are an issue. But I do have the little Canom M50 that I use for macro and as I have the camera and lens adapter for Canon full frame lenses it seems to...

    Sweaty sticky rubber!

    Thank you for your reply. I think it must be the high humidity and maybe cheap rubber. I have found the same thing happen on cheap power tools from China!

    Sweaty sticky rubber!

    Hi, not used my Fury's for a long time and when I took them out of their case the other day the rubber on them was very sweaty and sticky. The weather here in the far North of New Zealand is hot and humid though I was rather surprised. Anyone found this to happen and is there anything that you...

    Laowa and Coronavirus

    Laowa announced a new macro lens around the turn of the year, a 65mm 2x macro that would fit my Canon M50, Great so I ordered one and then Coronavirus kicked in big time. The retailer here in New Zealand was at first optimistic talking of about 2 weeks delivery but then emails and conversations...

    EVF on M50

    Can the EVF on the M50 be configured for night macro work like an Olympus can with live view boost. Now that Laowa are bringing out a version of their 2x super macro lens for this camera and all M series I would be very tempted to try it out but as I do over half of my macro work at night not...

    Sony a series macro!

    Thinking about a Sony a6400 to use for macro having always used Olympus, can anyone tell me as Olympus can be used for night macro by having live view boost set, does Sony have the same feature so that you can use the view finder at night?

    Up-grade to G9

    I'm using the G85 on the 100/400 lens for birds but always been a big fan of Olympus and had hoped that the 5 mark 3 would be the answer, certainly with its wonderful AF should be a great camera but its small size and low weight together with its plastic body put me off. I would guess that the...

    EM5 III, A mistake!

    Niels in part I answered that in post one and these days I generally only use one lens! My 5 II is just fine but would love that better AF now on the MK III if I ever go back to bird Photography! What I am saying is that now in that event I would have more choice than just stick with Olympus as...

    EM5 III, A mistake!

    Small cameras and big lens are fine if the small camera has a good sized grip. My 5 II always felt in need of one but when I used a Panasonic GX 85 it was just fine with the 100/400.

    EM5 III, A mistake!

    On the whole I am only saying mistake when linking the camera to action/birding photography as then the chances being you will put a large heavy lens or at least by micro 4/3 standards on the camera. I have been with Olympus for a long time and use the 5 and 5 II now but if I am going to spend...

    EM5 III, A mistake!

    Yes, the Nikon Z50 doe's seem to be a more interesting alternative to the 5 III if you can get over the thought of moving to a new system. My main thought on the 5 III is that it brings more alternatives in to play now! And its very small size paired with a big heavy birding lens will be a pain...
