The 300 with a 2x is an actual focal length of 600mm so an equivalent on the OM1 of 1200 rather than 1000. Angle of view is 1.65 by 1.24 degrees (horizontal and vertical) which will result in a field of view at 350m of 10m by 7.5m. An Osprey is 1.5 to 1.8m wingspan so will not fill the frame...

Simple answer is not very well! I don't have an S5 so can't confirm what it would be like on that, but the Commlite adapter I bought works with some lenses and not others, and some cameras and not others! The Leica CL is particularly fussy it seems so very little works with that. Even when it...

Using an EF-S lens on the adapter automatically switches my EOS-R body to crop mode and works just fine, albeit with the obvious reduced pixel count. Likewise using an EF-S lens on the same adapter on any one of the RF-S bodies (R7, R10, R50, R100) will work fine too.

Agree completely with this. I have the Move-shoot-move which does a fine job for milky-way wide angle stuff as well as some moderate telephoto targets like the Andromeda galaxy or the Orion Nebula. My son has a Sky Watcher pro which will take heavier kit and is more accurate for longer telephoto...

Looks very good, yet you're selling that lens - any reason for that?

Yes, manual focus switches to a magnified view to aid in precise focussing. The photo will be the one you see in the wide view.

I've just looked it up - it's over a kg! My 45P is 320g so how is this 4 times heavier?! It's also 4 times the cost, so maybe I'll stick to the one lens :D

Happy to take the 80 off your hands if you need to offload it ;)

Westminster Cathedral is RC and these are all CofE. They did miss Chelmsford though…

There are quite a few closer than those:

Definitely a meadow brown and not a small heath - doesn't need the wings open to be sure of that :)

Not been to Peterborough Cathedral for quite a few years, but no1 son is interested in the Star Wars exhibit so might well be visiting soon!

Just posted this in the Leica thread as well, so apologies for the duplication. This was taken today at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire with the Sigma 24 f2.
