Just for Show a little bragging

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

As I passed an industrial site yesterday night, driving home, I thought I'd give the Oly 10mrk 2 with its kit lens a try handheld.
This is a shot at 30 / 60mm equivalentff, at f5,1 shutter 0,3/sec at 3200 ISO
Not bad, eh?

 

[Pete Askew]

Nothing wrong with that, and I like the grain in the smoke / steam. Nice.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Clever norseman. I suspect it was one handed as well?
Now I am wondering how many camera's one needs, thinking that there was possibly a Ms oly Mk1 but of course it is easy to be mistaken.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Obviously it 'is easy to be mistaken there are two omd 10's. One 10 mrk 1 and one 10 mark 2. One with a 14-42mm on and one with 35-100mm, seemingly the same as a gentleman I know who vary the use of three Merrills instead of me using two omd's. But I have the advantage of also use primes with them as well. Not speaking about or involving other cameras he and I happen to use occasionaly All handled with one hand, under the circumstances contrary to his gear As to the question of how many cameras one needs, looking at the Cornishman, I am bewildered. For me, I can do with one Oly omd and a few lenses, but I prefer two small olys so I need not change lenses, especially walking about in the streets as well as anywhere actually! Need not wonder anymore Julian

Ah but I am myself a prime only guy, as each Merrill has it's own prime and darned if I can get them off, they appear too be stuck fast

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

A prime guy indeed and by his own words; " stuck." No chance of improvising then, darned when even a 90mm is not long enough

he he, no that is when the oly Em-5 the Original master brought by those with faith, by those who knew, by those who had the knowledge, getting back to why it comes out, that is too put on the Canon 400mm f5.6 L giving me an equivalent 800mm and good for birds. That being the feathered kind not the ones that run and are easy targets
With the 5 axis stabilisation I can hand hold the 800mm at 1/100 with ease

I must agree to what's being said about the Oly, and as they have chosen to improve upon the omd5 bestowing me two omd 10s, I count myself lucky! As well as being in the posession of a 150 - 600 ff equivalent, at a fraction of what the Cornishman brags that he touts around. Now how can 400mm become 800mm unless you use a 2x converter Julian and Canon does not have 5 axis stabilisation as far as I know. You are either bragging or dreaming and I think the latter. Handheld my foot!

[Pete Askew]

Those are very nice, Julian. Especially the last one.

Thanks Pete. it has been posted here in the past quite some times ago though

You're almost forgiven

Almost forgiven, is that because I do not believe you are handholding the tiny omd5 with the large 400mm L from Canon
