Borrowed a friend's Nikon 600mm f4 to Sungei Buloh, slapped on the GF-1 for the 1200mm reach, and it was so much fun! Even had videos of the birds at 1200mm, but it's a pain to upload to youtube with my limited videography skills so cannot show you, sorry.

Egret I think.No cropping

Green tinge on the right was because camera partially blocked by leaves, not flare or chromatic aberration. Skin and teeth a bit overblown. My bad. No cropping.
Camera: E-P2,
Lens : Cooke Kinic 1 inch f1.5
Adapter: Hawk C-M43
Data : ISO 400, 1/2000s, WO.

Cheers,

Cool! Able to AF using this combo?
E-P1
m39 to m43 adapter
Jupiter-8 50mm f2
The whole set up is still very handy, much smaller than the m42 setup. m42 adapter is almost 4 time the thickness of m39 adapter. C the last 2 picture of the set up.
All picture taken without pp just resize. color is really natural.
Those lenses just keep getting bigger
Compactness is just one aspect of m4/3, it is also an exciting platform where one can rediscover legacy lenses of all sizes and accessories in the digital world.
Some test samples from :
- E-P2 + Zeiss Contax mount 85mm f/1.4, AE version (i.e. older version)
- RJ Camera adapter for CY mount to m4/3
- Contax extension tube 13mm. Other extension tubes can be combined, but I wanted just a less extreme closer capture for this test
- all handheld at f/4 or f/5.6 to show more of the subject while still retaining some bokeh
* coming next will be from an M-mount lens using a Leitz Oufro extension ring .... this is an old accessory (1950s) used with Visoflex for a troublesome way to shoot close-up with a Leica M rangefinder. With m4/3, it's a different story now, TTL, and the accessory gets a new lease in life
