Tracking hoverflies with the OM-1 and m.100-400. I find that amazing that it does it.

Very well done, as I have tried photographing these little fellows in flight and they are quick ! !

Excellent, well done

Really nice captures Alby. I assume there is a burst mode of how many frames?

I can't do this and refocus with the manual lens which is the disadvantage I have.

It was the speed of locking on more than frame rate Paul, I had bird detection on and to my amazement the camera drew a box around the fly and tracked it. I got way to many keepers in each burst.

I’ve been biting my tongue to stop me saying this, but someone has to — you must have a good camera ™

To be fair Richard, everybody has a good camera these days
