  Great video clip Mike. So many species at one time 😊. Wish I could get this in UK so I can shoot video on my new G9 m2 - excellent camera for video and good value for money. There are some interesting settings on this camera that are not present on my OM-1s. Mainly using OM-1 now for photos and the G9 m2 for video. Keep on posting 👌👍😊

  Lots of species I have only read about as a teenager growing up in Lancashire. I used to collect birds eggs when I was younger and one of my prized possessions was that of a Redstart. It wasn't until years later that I learned of the distance these birds travelled to breed in the UK. I gave my egg collection to a friend before I emigrated to Australia.

  Some awesome shots Mike. I was interested in your comment re number of birds in the UK - Last year on my feeders for example I could easily get up to 20 gold finches, this year lucky to get 5. Bullfinches and nut hatches came last year this year so far none. There is a definite change.

  Mike, At 8:40 when you bring the bird back into the frame with the Mk2, the image is out of focus for a bit. It doesn't appear to be focusing as fast as the Mk1. Recheck this area in your video and you'll see that when the focus box is over the head there is a slight delay before the head snaps into focus on the Mk2. I didn't see this in the Mk1, so I'm not convinced that the Mk2 is faster at acquiring focus than with the Mk1. While the Mk2 might hold onto the subject while the bird is in flight, I'm not seeing faster focus acquisition from the sample you posted. Nevertheless, I appreciate you making the time to post your findings. You are more thorough than most with your testing methodology.

  For bird photography, I usually use the AF-ON-Button for preselect a focus, as example to photograph a bird, which gets landing on a branch. After preselected the focus, I will capture the landing by manual focusing. With the OM-1, MkI, there was no option for disabling bird-detection by using the AF-ON-button. When I forgot to disabling bird-detection, before I tried to focus on the branch, the AF struggled, because he was searching a bird, which was not yet there. With the OM-1, MkII, this problem has been repaired. I'm very happy with this improvement, which was for me one of the most important changes in the new camera.

  It's really hard, once you get used to the build and feel of good kit, along with those little features that just seem sensible or right, to take a step back. And it's the details, tolerances and niceties that push the price through the roof. I have two MFT lenses... and they don't get much use. What i still use every day (adapted) are the massive and fast ZD SHQ lenses - the f/2 and 2.8 zooms and primes (the 300 and the 90-250 weigh 3.6kg each). But i shoot landscape, environmental and industrial, often in low light - wildlife is really only opportunistic stuff for me. That 150-4/500 reminds me a lot of those ZDs in terms of its apparent build quality and design. That alone makes me covet it in a minor way, despite it being comparatively slow. The price is an obstacle too, but if i take the big ZDs as a baseline... the 300 f/2.8 was US8k on release in 2003, and the 90-250 f/2.8 was over six - i have no idea what that is in today's money - then it almost seems reasonable for what it apparently is. And with all the versatility (reach and MFD) at only 1.8kg, it'd make a great EDC lens. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into the video. Cheers and all the very best - from NZ.

  Hi Mike the Nightingale footage was superb… as were the other species but that is a nightmare bird to get on film 🤦‍♂️ can I please ask a favour… would you kindly tell me the part numbers of your small rig set up for video. I want to but the same set up but there are so many options… two different ones to hold the end of the lens for example. The shop here in Belgium has all the separate bits but they can’t tell me which one I need for the 150-400 pro. Your help would be really appreciated. Thanks Paul

  Hi Paul, I had the same problem. The Smallrig web site was very unhelpful. I bought off Ebay one item at a time. I started with the two rods. Then I bought the front lens support. Something like eBay item number:373470853832 There are different sizes, but I think you only have to guess that it will go high enough for your lens. Not that difficult to guess at. Then I bought the more difficult piece to go under the camera. Search Ebay for Smallrig baseplate. such as eBay item number:285164111015 I do not have part numbers, but these all look about the same as I have.
