    The top of the lion's head is classic. They are all really nice.

    Wow! Fantastic shots
    So you used the canon 300 on a M43 body? What adapter did you use? I assume it would only manual focus. I think my G3 would fit inside the lens cap of the 300!

    A really nice set, thanks! The lion is my favorite also, but I am - once again - amazed by the performance of the 100-300mm based on the bird picture. However, one consequence of looking at these pics: I realized that, if those are possible with a GH1 and a GF2, an upgrade from my GH2 is totally unnecessary - I should clearly work on reaching your level of skill rather than buying new stuff - Thanks!

    Awesome shots. Micro 4/3's doesn't have to take a back seat to the big guys. But, I realize it wasn't the camera that is responsible for those photos, it was the photographer.

    Thx again for the nice comments :) 
    I think the 100-300 works great on small stuff a few meters away, if the subject is far and the backgrount to it is far also, i dont really like the bokeh.
    So then I prefer the Canon 300mm that i use with a FD adapter so it´s totaly manual, but it worked better than i thought it would on this safari.

    Very stunning images! Thanks for sharing.

    Did you shot most of them out of a car? Did you use any kind of tripod/bean-bag or are these just hand held?

    Most of them are shoot handheld from the roof hatch on the safari jeep.
    The driver stoped whenever i wanted to so it worked ok, but the GF2 with 20mm 1,7 i used while driving also.

    So you are using an older FD Lens not the newer EF?

    Amazing photos, Grid. I love the first shot with the zebra in the foreground, very well-composed, gives a sense of the scale of the landscape. The sunrise (sunset?) is also incredible. Thanks for sharing.
