Thank you Don. I knew I needed some sort of support for my vintage telephoto. I thought I would have to make one, so thanks for signposting me to a 'V yoke rifle monopod holder'. I have a vintage Tamron SP adaptall OM mount 300mm lens I can now use with my EM10 IIIS. I also have a Sigma 100-400mm EF mount lens that I have been frightened to adapt to my Canon M50 as it weighs a ton. Now I can support it with a V yoke on a tripod. I have mobility problems with my legs. I can't thank you enough for identifying the solution to my lens support issue without me breaking the camera and falling over.
Thank you for sharing these tip. Very useful and of course how important it is to support the big lenses. The longest old lens I have is a Fuji 200mm F4 for the old Fuji X mount, has great image quality. Also have a Hanimex 135mm again for the old X mount and is surprisingly good. It is amazing how many old mounts are available for Micro Fourthirds. You have encouraged me to find some longer lenses. Thank you again.
Only Canon EF/EF-S mount lenses support autofocus easily. I use the inteligent Viltrox EF-M1 and EF-M2 ii adapters, the later has a condensing lens which boosts the light one stop but reduces the focal length by .7 (thus crop factor is 1.5 instead of 2) I use four EF lenses, the Tamron 18-400mm (the ultimate all in one), Tamson 28-75mm (the ultimate portrait zoom range, any 34-70mm f2.8 will do). And the Sigma two f/1.8 for low light 17-35mm and 50-100mm.
Thank you for watching! Vivitar (especially their lenses made by Komine) and the Tamron lenses were really excellent. I shot Canons for a long time, AE1, AE1 Program, EF, FTb and F1 bodies and lots of different lenses. Still have an AE1 Program and an EF. Not the same ones though. I need to get them out and take some pics with them!
@@dongummphotography Thank you for reply Don. I had the AE1 aswell, good kit. Now an Oly man, lightweight and cheaper glass. However the Pany 12 to 60 MM, seem,s my do it all len,s. Probably need a Lumix body to get the best out of it, keep up the good work.

Hi: great video !!! 2 naive questions. What model Pen camera where you using in this video and does it have focus peaking and magnify ? Second question..... If you are using a zoom lens do you have to tell the camera the focal length every time it is changed. I understand that if I am using a 135mm telefoto I am inputting that information (135mm) once, but on a zoom it seems to me that i would have to input the change every time I changed to a different focal length ?
Thanks for watching. The Pen camera was an EP5 and it does have focus peaking and the magnify feature. Unfortunately, with a zoom you would have to change the focal length setting in the IBIS each time you changed focal length.
I was using my dad's old Nikkor 35mm f2.8 on my OM-D E-M10 just now and I could not get the photo sharp. After googling the problem and watching your video, I took your advice and set the focal length of the lens into the image stabilisation mode. I set it to 35mm. But since there is a 2x crop, should I set it to 70mm instead? Don?
I often use a focal reducer on my vintage 500mm mirror lens, without one of these you are effectively using a 2x teleconverter, which is sometimes great, and sometimes not quite what you want.

Glad I could help find a solution! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your video! I have a few older 43rds from Olympus that I’ve adapted to my Olympus OMD-M1 mk III Camera body.
Thanks for watching. I guess I need to look into some of the 4/3 lenses and an adapter.
Really enjoyed this one, I too would love to see images accompany these videos. Thanks well done
Thanks for watching! A review of that Nikkor-H 300mm f4.5 is in the works so images coming!

Thank you for watching. There are lots of good long lenses that are great on Micro 4/3!
Thank you what a nice video!

Could we have some examples of what you can achieve with these camera/lens combinations. Cheers.
Thank you for watching! A review on that 300mm f4.5 Nikkor is in the works! I'll have the review and images soon.
@@dongummphotography many thanks Don. Look forward to it. Keep up the good work.
Hi Don, used Vivitar and Tamron zoom,s back in film day,s, used a Canon A1. If memory serves, focus was critical, took slide film, no latitude.

@@steveworthington930 I have a friend that has the Pany 12-60 and he loves it. The images he creates with it are outstanding!
@@dongummphotography Really good len,s Don. Rob Trek proved with a bit of post, kit as good as pro, you just lose the speed and weathersealing.

Set it to the actual focal length of the lens. No need for any calculation. Thanks for watching!
It is always a pleasure to watch your videos, @@dongummphotography

Thank you for watching! True, some lenses may not hold up to that level of cropping. Good point!
LOL
A zero value video :)
