Showcase Olympus 300mm f/4 PRO

Took my new to me O300 for a quick test drive this evening. These are all em1.1 SOOC jpgs and shot with the 2x digital teleconverter on.

I thought you couldn't get shallow DoF with M43 cameras.

Taken as I paddled by yesterday. Kayaks are great for sneaking up on wildlife, but BIFs are challenging.

That is beautifully captured
How close were you?
I've pondered this lens but then looked at subjects I'd use it on plus price.
Still fence sitting.
Have EM5 2

Hi, pretty close. Here is the uncropped version.
The 300 is my favorite lens.

River otters in spring courtship mode. Otters are fast--I originally attempted with S-AF, but quickly switched to C-AF and kept bumping the speed upward. These two would surface briefly, gulp some air, and submerge once more, all the while spinning and twirling. Lots of shots, only a few successes. This is my favorite.
