    Gorgeous images and video. I am using this lens for almost 2 years and really love it. Hopefully OM System will eventually make a much better camera (unfortunately the OM-1 Mark 2 is not the one with only marginal improvements) to match the video features of G9 Mark 2 and autofocus of recent Canon, Sony and Nikon cameras.

    Nice one, stunning pictures! Recently traded my flagship fullformat mirrorless camera and 500/4 lens for the om-1 mk2 & 300mm f/4. Had it for a week now. First impression is great. Enjoying the smaler size and lighter gear for sure.

    So Norway... I've stopped watching this video part-way through. Why? Because I'm going to wait for my girl to finish work so we can what it together. She's not a photographer, but she's going to love that 'review' segment early on (we both have great taste☺). Other than that - Lkd & Subd and looking forward to rummaging through your content. All the best from a cabin in a swamp in a rainforest in New Zealand.

    I think G9 II is the answar when it comes to video. Lovely images, as always!

    I bought this lens a few month ago and like it a lot. I only find the sun hood too big and complicated to put on with that screw mechanism.
  • what beautiful images. What post-processing did you do? Because the photos don't come out of the camera that way. anyway, they are beautiful, video footage and photos. my compliments for that.👍👏

    The results are amazing! I have the OM1II. It has better autofocus but the difference isn`t huge. P.S.: Wich is better, full format and cropping or mft without cropping?

    I hate to say it...but a 300mm/4.5 is considered very slow. And since m4/3 CAN NOT make 1/1 camera (many called it "full frame") & then why new owner just doesn't say 300-800/4.5? All m4/3 companies need to stop scamming buyers with small number (1/2#) when it is really double that #.
