Sample of first shot of using 40-150 Pro on Olympus OMD 5 Mk 3
ISO 800 150 mm F2.8 1/40 sec Hand held.

Thanks Lysippus. Beautiful shot. Now I am very excited! Lockdown eases for us at the end of October and then I hope to be able to get out and photograph. I have seen deals where the 1.4 teleconverter is included, did you get a teleconverter? Very cute red robin, look at those feathers!

Hi Deboco, I didn't see a deal with the 1.4 teleconverter included, however it would probably be just too expensive for me in one gulp. I hope Santa will be good to me this year. It's on my list. The 150mm is good for what I do, but the teleconverter would be a great addition. It's really quality verses reach, 2.8 at all focal lengths, and the fact that the Zoom is internal, i.e. the lens doesn't extend. As I like shooting hand held I bought the decoration ring used when the tripod adaptor is off the lens. Remember it is 72mm for filters.

Photo reprocessed using DeNoise AI to see how it looks.

Hi Lysippus. My lens arrived today. I found one on eBay, still under warranty and a 1.4 teleconverter and uv lens. I was worried, I haven't spent that much on an eBay order before, but it arrived and seems to be fine. If the rain stops tomorrow, I will be able to have a play. I think I will even be able to do handheld, which is great. I won't find a Red Robin, I will try for a Kookaburra,
Deb

Happy shooting!
