Focus hunting....4/3 70-300mm + DMW-MA1 + E-M1
This thread caused me to finally take the plunge and I replaced the 70-300 by the mft 75-300 - on the E-M1 the difference in focus speed feels incredible - the lack of noise probably helps! Not really used in anger yet As there is a cashback offer I replaced the macro as well, the in-camera... -
Focus hunting....4/3 70-300mm + DMW-MA1 + E-M1
One thing I have noticed is that if I am finding it difficult to hold it steady enough, honestly not the booze, it has quite an effect on its ability to stabilise on a focussing point, hunts quite a bit and may pick an incorrect point of focus. (E-620) A bit of strenuous walking is enough to... -
Focus hunting....4/3 70-300mm + DMW-MA1 + E-M1
Evidence from previous Olympus lenses is that it would probably need a hardware change for any meaningful improvement as they did for the 14-54 zoom. The later E-slr lenses are relatively fast focussers on the E-M1, and they are the ones used on the E-M1 by me though less now than in the past... -

The firmware for this lens was last updated 02/16/2012 to Version 1.4 you can check this easily - it is the very last thing in the menu system - so don't start searching from the start. Remember that there has been an upgrade to the E-M1 firmware this year so it is worth going on line anyway. If... -
Focus hunting....4/3 70-300mm + DMW-MA1 + E-M1
Just done a quick trial despite the rain - E-620 vs E-M1 it does seem to hunt a bit more on the M1 - as for accuracy, I didn't shoot enough to get any errors with either. It is quite an old lens design that is feels happier with an E-slr which was what I expected - hence having never used it on... -
Focus hunting....4/3 70-300mm + DMW-MA1 + E-M1
Performance should not change I am afraid - read the following to clarify. http://www.apotelyt.com/photo-accessory/four-thirds-adapter My 70-300 was never my favourite lens - it did the job on my E-slrs and it continues to be used with those I have left. I havn't tried it on my E-M1 but...
