Hi there Antonio,

let me answer this for Ian, he's from down-under you know.

The lens is the 'Little Tuna' or in full the Olympus Zuiko Digital 150mm 1:2
As this is a 43 lens, an adapter is required to mount the lens to a (mirrorless) µ43 camera.

Kind regards.

Stunning IQ Bart. Thanks for posting the image.
What aperture did you use?
AF-S or AF-C?

Thank you, K-H. There's definitely a 3D-look to it, no ?

AF for this lens in general, even on the EM1-II, is somewhat cumbersome and a little sluggish.
So I'm using AF-S only, but I've got to admit I didn't bother too much using AF-C.
Aperture used here was F5.6

All the best.

Many thanks Bart. I agree, to my eyes definitely a 3D-look. :clap:
AF-S gives better and more repeatable focus than AF-C in my experience.
F5.6 seems perfect to me for this shot.

Little Tuna is a gem for sure. :thumbs:
Thanks again.

Bart, it seems the Fujifilm XF 200mm F2 is competing with little tuna. :grin:

It certainly is similarly shaped, fairly short but massive.

Cost: Fujinon XF200mmF2 R LM OIS WR Lens with XF1.4X TC F2 Teleconverter Kit about $6k

I paid a little over $2k for my little tuna. Taking adapter and TCs into account about half price.

 

[Knorp]

Let's call it a Mega-Tuna and impressive it is indeed.
Still, I wonder if you can easily shoot it hand-held ...

I'm going all nostalgic here. 10 year old photo with the E-1 and the lovely 11-22.

Blue (orange) hour yesterday evening - EM1.2 with 2.8/40-150 - ISO 6400 with some PP in LR

Why would I need another camera (FF?)

Even with some issues this is great. The difference in light was great (the white wall at right). Shot with a 5 MkII + 12-40. Bracketing of 3 exposures and HDR in LR. Final image slightly adjusted in this program.

Originals and some notes

I have to use the camera over and over to feel it. To understand the some many setting available and know by heart and quickly where things are. That is what I was doing.
Experimenting, playing around with a toy. Preparing for greater works ? Perhaps...

I post the 3 originals bellow. They were made handheld. With some care of course...
Why am I doing this in LR ? Because it is available in this program and I have to play with it so I understand how it works and it's results. If it is available in LR why go to CC if it even asks to save files before doing the job ? More time to spend on a photograph with similar results, I guess...

Now, I try to be systematic on key wording the images. I have just discovered how good it is to use Smart Filters... One has to be very systematic and methodical. Perhaps I will write a cheat sheet to post on the computer to constantly remember the necessary settings.

Look carefully at the photos. he was coming down.

That lens is magical :shocked:

Makes me want to buy an E-M1 just to use with that lens.

Many thanks Bart. Stunningly gorgeous images.
Those images more than compensate for carrying around all that weight. :grin:
