long tailed tit Z8

a long tailed tit from today .. really loving the i.q I'm getting with this camera ,and 95% of shots are dead on the eye focus

Lovely shot Jeff how r u finding the weight of the camera and lens for handholding I’m interested in this set up for birding /wildlife etc
thanks Paul

Extremely well balanced , yes if holding in one position to long you notice the weight , but to date I have not as yet had to use monopod ,tripod or cotton carrier so that says something . Very impressed so far .. major changes I have replaced the tripod collar with a HOAGE one that’s lighter and also takes QD quick release mounts . Bar that it’s superb as is ..the hit rate is astounding with a extremely high percentage being dead on the eye
I have taken lots of bird shots from this hide and on that same branch as the LTT and never before been able to get this level of detail

Yet Jeff All the reviews say the OM1 MkII is better at birding than that combo you got. That TIT is nice and sharp with Good Detail. Well Captured.

It may well be Dennis but the missing information is that there not including the fact that it’s better with a big white lens that costs several thousand pounds ,I can only compare this set up with general purpose lenses that I have used I.e the 100-400 mki and mkii and the 300mm f4 with and without both t.c’s .
Depends who you would rather believe someone that’s getting paid or gifted for there review or someone that tells it as it is ..

I’ll just quote one comment I had this week on another forum “ Jeff before your photos were very good now there stunning “

[Dennis Russ]

Don't let your head swell to much Jeff. lol You do NOT need a Big White Expensive lens to get stunning Wildlife photos. You need to be the correct distance from them and that is NOT easy in most places in UK. Majority of images we see from those BIG WHITES are taken in countries where Wildlife are closer to you or Wildlife sanctuaries . I watch uTube as well. Like You, I been photographing for near 30 years,some with problems others without problems. I do NOT use Pro Capture to make my Life Easier as I hate going through hundreds of images to chose One. Same goes for Sequential, but when I do use Sequential I only chose 8 shots. I ask Google a lot of question but ALWAYS come back here to get an answer from you all. SUBJECTIVE! in it, just like a judge in camera club. That I know, as I am a judge & Presenter on the circuit. I'm just looking for that little bit of Perfection without going Gatling Gun with my camera. I hate it when a few in the hide with Canon/Nikon start rattling away without using Silent mode. Anyway, Peace! Keep showing us your Nikon shots, which are just as Good as your Olympus shots
