It must be silly season here. Actually it's pouring with rain and I could only get out for a brief walk today. So the mind turns to stupid stuff....like what if I took the prism off a Visoflex so it wouldn't catch on the Olympus 'prism', attached it with an M-lens adaptor to the E-M5, locked up the mirror in the Visoflex and then did something really silly like adding a 560mm Telyt? Imagine—a 1120mm equivalent in 35mm! The first two photos are taken through a rain covered window and show the view with the 12-50 kit lens set at 25mm to give a normal lens field of view (sorry for the light reflection on the window), and the second is the 560mm. Might have been less blurred if I'd thought to use the self-timer as I don't have the cable release.
and finally the whole set-up:
Lunacy!

I keep an EM5 for backup and severe weather, but decided to get an EM1 recently and convert the EM5 to IR at some point. I took the EM1 over to the UK for Christmas and it served very well. I was only stuck in rain once though

I got myself (yet another, says my wife) new lens, from a Chinese manufacturer.
The lens is called Venus, it's a 60/2.8 macro lens, capable of 2:1 reproduction.
These are a few first shots with the e-m1
(1:2)
(almost 1:1)

Today I went out with the 75 f1.8 and the 12-40. . here are some snaps..
Matty with the 75 f1.8
The Look Look with the 75 f1.8
Poison with the 12-40
Reluctant Model with the 75 f1.8
Pencils with the 12-40
Contemplation with the 75 f1.8

Chickens don't really have Characters. Well, at least, if they do you don't want to know about them.
Whatever, it seemed to me to be a good challenge to try and do some character studies with chickens when the sun came out this afternoon. All of the pictures are taken with the Zuiko 40-150 f2.8 (what a lens)

I added a like ! I don't particularly like hens, but your pictures are great : you are doing wonder with that lens.
Did you also get the 1.4 TC ? When you order it with the lens, you get it at half price, while without the lens it get very pricey. So I ordered the lens + TC already before Christmas, profiting that there was 10% off on all Olympus products at my favorite online seller.. This made for a very good price, but I'm still waiting for that combo.. Delivery has shifted and it is now supposed to arrive in mid February. Patience.. Patience.. I think that the TC aren't yet available, or are they ? May be a marketing trick of Olympus to sell their stuff more expensively at impatient photographers.
