Saint Peter's Dome of the San Miguel Mountains to the East of the Jemez Mountains, NM, 8,463 feet, as seen from Bandelier National Monument.



E-M1 + M.300mm F4.0 + MC-14 @ FL=420 mm, F/5.6, ISO=200, 1/1600 s.

This used to be densely forested before a couple of large forest fires wiped out the trees. One can still see some of the burned tree trunks standing after a decade or two.

This looks like a truly wonderful lens and luckily (for my pocket),
a lens that I would have almost zeros use for ............










.......... or would I? :grin: :banghead:.

Many thanks Ian for your humorous feedback. :grin:
Indeed for me it's a wonderful lens. :)
Primarily I got it for birding.
However, the Hummingbirds and Turkey Vultures return no earlier than about Mid-April.
So, aside from current backyard birds I was trying out other scenarios that lens could be potentially useful for.
I never know until I find out by exploring with camera and lens in hand. :facesmack:

I am really impressed by the sharpness, colors, lack of aberrations, and general IQ this lens produces.
Also, it's not too heavy for me to carry around in one hand.
Image stabilization works like magic! :thumbs:

So, one question I had was: What images would I get for candid shots of folks a few hundred yards away?
Here are two examples, not cropped, only reduced in size.



E-M1 + M.300mm F4.0 + MC-14 @ FL=420 mm, F/8, ISO=200, 1/500 s.




E-M1 + M.300mm F4.0 + MC-14 @ FL=420 mm, F/8, ISO=200, 1/640 s.

Well, those shots remind me what it is like going on a hike with my children and grandchildren.
We will have their visit over Easter and I should get similar shots with the Oly 300/4 PRO or with the Leica DG 42.5/1.2. :clap:
Our young granddaughters love to climb, wherever there is an opportunity, just like the girl in post #60.
Climbing up that same ladder seems to be one of their favorites! :thumbs:

A teaser for none-subscribers:

diglloyd: Reviewed: Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f/4 IS PRO,

Now at: diglloyd Mirrorless - Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f/4 IS PRO - Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f/4 IS PRO Overview (diglloyd.com excerpt)

Quote:

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. This may be the very best lens available for Micro Four Thirds."

Hmm. I have the lens and don't need a subscription after that praise! :LOL:

Image stabilization and focusing accuracy reminds me of Arthur C. Clarke's:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarke's_three_laws, quote:

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Reading aloud an explanation from the park brochure, no doubt!

Cruising



E-M1 + M.300mm F4.0 + MC-14 @ FL=420 mm, F/5.6, ISO=320, 1/1000 s.

Hmm, if that doesn't look like a B-52 in the friendly New Mexican skies?
