I was in Tanzania a few weeks agoe, and i had my GH1 and GF2 with me, and used a Canon 300mm F2.8 L the most, and then pany 20mm F1.7, and the pany 100-300mm and Samyang 7,5mm alittle also, anyway here´s some images, and the rest can be found on my site. 20mm {} 100-300mm {} 300mm {} 300mm {} 300mm {} 300mm {} 300mm {} 7,5mm {} 20mm {} 300mm {}
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!

Stunning and incredible and I am thrilled to see finally some excellent images . LOve them all and Panny 100-300 seems to be very capable lens in capable hands . Thanks a lot for sharing . Cheers Bhupinder
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.
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.
