Like last time, Schmidli used a Canon 1D X DSLR and a 2x teleconverter. In terms of focal length, Schmidli decided to step things up a bit and use an 800mm f/5.6L IS instead of the 600mm f/4L IS II he used last time. Thus, the total effective focal length for this shoot was a whopping 1600mm.

What kinda moon shots? Might wanna consider a telescope + telescope adapter for m4/3 perhaps.
if not too serious (zoom focal length) can consider 40-150 f2.8 which will be more versatile I think (than 100-300/75-300), if couple with O12-40/2.8 or P12-35/2.8, superb for traveling.

Or get ZD 50-200 f2.8-3.5 + MMF adapter to use on EM1, it's big though, it will AF fast on rumored EM1. Time to sell your EM5 ;p
Think he looking for more zoom lei, then he using 14-140, not much diff from 40-150 in focal length lol
lol, an old friendtrying to persuade him to sell 14-140 lah, can? :bsmilie:
Wah i not so hardcore serial flipper for cam/lenses like u!
Just looking for a longer zoom than the current 14-140 with the best iq that the mkt can offer. I confused with all the zoom lenses. Most time using prime only.
Maybe rephrase my qn, wats a better and longer zoom than the 14-140 that is still within the m4/3 family. I do trek, so i will bring it out. Telescopic rig sounds scary to me!
There are only 2 native lenses longer than 140/150 mm. That's the oly 75-300 and panny 100-300.
You mean there is not much telephoto in this lens below ? Is 300 (equiv of 600) not tele enuf ?Sigma 50-500 with mmf adapter, or else 70-300 is the next closest thing, or was it 100-300 from Panasonic? I get lost, not much super telephoto, next best is 4/3 300mm f2.8 Zuiko Digital with MMF but I doubt you'll want that even if money is no issue hahaha, any other critera other than moon shots/long zoom, and please elaborate what you mean by long zoom

600mm is somewhat barely enough to shoot the moon if you want to fill the frame (as far as I can remember, since I don't shoot the moon often and only have my 70-200, which is still 70-200). But 100-300 is tele enough to shoot most of the animals at the zoo, but it's soft and it's slow, not really recommended, in fact, I used to shoot with the 4/3 40-150 without much issues
