I have used it quite a bit for scenic photos. The biggest problem (other than weight and size) is the fact that you can't really see plainly/clearly with the naked eye what the lens will see. also not an issue with a digital camera. |

Perhaps it's my understanding of "Wildlife". To me, wildlife is moving; perhaps a narrow view on my part. And this lens is not good for objects that are in motion Why - because at F11 it's not bright enough? Or is the problem that it's not easy to frame moving animals? FYI, there are accessories which you mount on the camera and assist you in framing with supertele lenses (such as the Olympus EE-1 Dot Sight for instance). I have used it quite a bit for scenic photos. The biggest problem (other than weight and size) is the fact that you can't really see plainly/clearly with the naked eye what the lens will see. Can't you just look through the viewfinder? A full moon will nearly fill the 35mm frame. And it's good for telling time. From the top of the Tuscarora Mountain off of PA74, this lens will see the courthouse clock in Mifflintown six miles away. The way you describe things, seems this lens is not very useful. -- Alfred Molon Olympus 4/3 and micro 4/3 cameras forum at https://groups.io/g/myolympus https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

The lens does care if the subject is in motion because the higher the magnification, the smaller the aperture.
So you need either a lot of light, or a still subject. In article , nospam wrote: the lens doesn't care if the subject in in motion. the issue is using a fast enough shutter speed. with a digital camera, that's not an issue. -- m-m www.mhmyers.com |

I use a spotting scope with a camera mount. 1500mm and easy to carry.

The lens does care if the subject is in motion because the higher the magnification, the smaller the aperture. the lens does not know nor care what it's aimed at. higher magnification does not necessarily mean smaller aperture. that depends on the lens (and budget). there are lenses longer than what ken has that have a larger f/stop, except they won't work with his camera. subjects in motion require a higher shutter speed to freeze the motion, which is not an issue with a digital camera because *much* higher isos can be used than with film, thereby allowing the much higher shutter speeds. So you need either a lot of light, or a still subject. or high iso. |
