- This is the first time for me trying out my new lens (Sony 300mm 2.8 GM OSS) for some bird photography by the river. This was a very rewarding day for a first try, with both Osprey, Great Egret and Kingfisher in front of me.

Love when you're geeking out about new gear! The true photo nerd in you comes out 😍
The thing I like the most is that you always upload video exactly at coffee/relaxing time... So yeah let's have a 😗☕ 🤏
Haha relaxing time is the best!!
Glad to hear you like it. I’ll continue uploading during coffee time then! ☕️🤌🏼
@@ollenilssonenUpload more plz, I'm always waiting for your videos
It works really well with both the 1.4 and 2x TC. You can easily use the 2X with no problem
even with the A7RV? i have the 200-600mm with the A7RV and through experiments concluded that the 1.4x gives no extra detail/sharpness even at the same ISO. The sharpness of the lens+teleconverter combination is not good enough for the 61MP sensor, so there is no additional gain using teleconverter.
@@DanielSymphoniesShort answer is yes (At least with my 50MP A1) I never use the 1.4xTC on the 200-600 it just suffers to much in image quality (like you said) and off course F9 I'm not a fan of. BUT the 300GM takes both the 1.4 TC and 2X exceptionally well. I was very surprised with the 2X. It's the first lens I have ever felt I have gotten good AF and IQ with the 2x.
here is a summary of my experience with all the big primes.
400 GM F2.8 - 1.4 TC = good IQ and AF hitrate 80-85% // 2x TC = Not so good IQ (Lots of CA) and struggling AF.
600GM F4 - 1.4TC = Very good IQ, AF hitrate about 85-90% so little loss in AF. // 2X TC = Still good IQ. But here the AF starts to lagg behind. So almost never use 2X.
300GM F2.8 - 1.4TC = Can not see any loss in IQ. AF just as good as with bare lens. // 2X TC = Still very good 90-95% IQ. AF maybe a good 95%.
The 300GM just takes both 1.4 and 2X really well. Much better than the other big primes, from Sony.
Of course all of my testing is done with the Sony A1.
@@DanielSymphonies I just sold my 200-600. The 300 blows it away in every way possible. I’m shooting with a a9 and a7r V. I have both teleconverters and have had great results with them. I sold the 200-600 because I have yet to pick it up since receiving my 300. Hope this helps
@@DanielSymphonies Surprisingly yes. I have tested my copy extensively against the 200-600G (on my A1, so only 50MP) and while the IQ suffers with the TC2, it is still at least marginally better than the naked 200-600. Which is very usable and pretty much the only combo that even focuses decently with an TC2.
Not a bad day. Grab a drink, watch your video, and feel as peaceful as always. cheer!!
Thanks for mentioning me! ❤
Great video as always! Sharpens of this lens is mind blowing 😮 I’m so happy for you and I can’t wait to see how much you can squeeze out of this setup 🔥
The excitement never goes away with this lens. I’m extremely happy with it. I can’t wait to see more content from you about this lens
Absolute Dream of a lens! Who needs 600mm when you have such quality! Also great encounters! I still wait patiently for my first kingfisher photo
Beautiful successful captures of the birds … I like the great egrets flying in front of dark mossy trees 😉 Thanks for sharing
So glad to hear that, thank you!🙏🏻
And yes, your videos give some really great chill vibes, your povs are so fun, adventurous and chill at the same time🎉
Glad you like them! Appreciate it😍
@@ollenilssonen 🥳😄
That details in crop is unmatchable💯
Like number 500! I just love this video my friend. You´re such a natural, and sooo good at storytelling. Imaging having a Egret, Osprey and Kingfisher the first day with this lens. How lucky can one man be! So glad for you, you deserve this.
I got this year in the spring my Canon EF 300 2.8 II and i Love it the sharpness ist insane and you can still Walk with it in Hand for a few hours
You have just the most inspirational videos! Loved every second of it. 💪🔥
I appreciate that! Thanks a ton!
So happy to see one of my fav creator upload again, makes my day
amazing video btw
I appreciate that, thank you❤️
I love the way you shoot the video.
Very expressive lens😮
Great video as always! Your content is always inspiring. 🙏
this video is calming. thank you
i just watching this channel to learn something. thank you for anything.
Loved it 🥰 can’t wait to see more
Great video Olle ,that 300mm F2.8 is a beasts local camera shop where i bought my A74 and 200-600mm from had their staff photographer show me what it could do with it on a A74, there was a golf course a 2 minute walk from the store with ponds and lots of trees and he took photos and i was surprised at the difference in the clarity and sharpness of the photos with it, it is one amazing lens, it must have been amazing to use at the summer olympics in France with the new A93, you will have fun with it with a tele converter 👍
Thanks!
Yes, the micro contrast of this thing is so good. Very impressive!
yes, must have been a dream to use!😃
Nice video! In the future, I am curious if you are going to use the 300mm or the 200-600mm? Is the 300mm not to short for bird fotografie. If you use the 2x convertor you have the same aperture than the 200-600 mm. But this lens is €5.000 cheaper …
@@erikbackx3927 you are begginer and pure amateur, you don't need that.
I can highly recommend the x2TC for it, especially for taking videos. You can go crop mode and then even go for the power zoom in 4k and get really nice footage at 1200mm. One of my sharpest lenses ever. And it’s as sharp with the x2 TC as my 200-600. I prefer it for closer subjects as well. Enjoy it. (I know you will love this beauty)
Hello, Ollen Nielsen, a very nice video showing whether the Sony a7.4 performs as well with this lens.
great photos!
can't wait to see more!
😍
Thank you!😍
admire your new Lens. I'm using FE200-600 as well. Does it feel like you don't want to go back to your 200-600 anymore ?
I have same Lens + Sony a1! Best Combo!
Stunning video🔥🔥🔥 since I have this lens I don’t touch my 200-600 and my 70-200mm f2.8 gm II anymore 😉 The 300mmf2.8 gm is an absolute banger!!!
5:33 man is holding a machine gun 😅
Nice kit! Looks like the a7rv has an easier time focusing than the a7iv
Amazing, thank you for sharing... 👍👍😉
Was eagerly waiting for your video
Finally 😍
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
2x teleconverter is meant to work really well with that too, you don't lose nearly as much light as on other lenses thanks to its 2.8, so might be worth trying it at 600mm F5.6
Yes, that’s one of the reasons I got it. I’m looking forward to really test it out!
I would love to see this Lens on an A6700.
Very nice content as usual! Keep it up! Best wishes from a fellow photographer in Austria!
That would be very interesting, indeed!
Thank you 🙏🏻
finally new video 😂 waited too long
Hey Olle glad to see you bought a new lens for your lineup. The 300 f/2.8 looks like a great lens, the pictures and videos you've already taken with it looking crisp. I like the look and I'm also a fan of showing the animals in their natural environment as you can see at 8:37 rather than “always” closeup portraits... they are also pretty nice to capture don't get me wrong here 🤙😉
Haha thanks! Yes, some more ”landscapy” shots are fun too 😆
@@ollenilssonen Yes, definitely! I'm looking forward to your comparison with the 200-600. Have a nice evening 👍😉
What's the least shutter speed you can reach with that thing? Even at like 1/3200 it was damn bright
Wow!
Hey man! I recently watched all of your videos and I am REALLY flattered by your work it's just amazing.
I want to work with you man. A DSLR Nikon D3400 and a basic telephoto lens 70-300mm all I have to capture little creatures.
I know that's not a professional kit but it is what it is,I try my best to take the photos. My framing is like just OKAY maybe. I wanna work with you because I wanna learn and travel with you to get some serious cool pictures. Believe me I have potential, I just need some chances to imply that. I think you are humble too besides an extraordinary photographer. I really want to work with you,I don't want any stipend or money. I just wanna explore.
If you're interested we can talk more about this and I will send some pictures taken by me.
That's all sir. You're doing great.stay safe.
Incredible lens📷😭
Hello Olle your my biggest inspiration! Did you film this video with your GoPro Hero 11 or do you use a second camera?
Very glad to hear that, thanks for following along!
This video is recorded with the Sony ZV-E1. I only shoot my POVs with the GoPro :)
@@ollenilssonen okay, that's what I thought. the quality is breathtaking
Nice.What is your pov camera and lens. Thanks
PoV wildlife bird photography video ?
hello hello, I've been waiting for the new video. Welcome Hungarians..
I wish Canon could make a RF 300 f2.8 and I wish Sony cameras had better screens and viewfinders ... and I wish Nikon gear wasn't so damn expensive ... and OM systems should move over to APS-C ...
no, OM system doesn't need to move to aps-c, straight full-frame, or don't move at all.
Do you plan to make video about your first camera?
@@patryk31 I’m editing it as we speak!
It’s a POV style video to start with 😁
@@ollenilssonen Im glad to hear that😄
At some point you take all photos at 50mm/1.2 and just crop!
❤
Hej olle im 13 and want a camera upgrade for 550 dollars plus lens!
Thay would be good at vidio and wildlife photography!
U got any suggestions
This is the last video my wallet needs to see ;_;
Great job, as always.
Haha I know that feeling…
Thank you!
Wow did you change from a7IV to a7RV ?
He said that he borrowed it for the video. As far as I understood it.
@@eluxmusic Thanks~
Yeah I saw it later in the video (me haven't watched the whole thing been too excited about a new camera🤣)
It’s borrowed, yes.
I still have the A7IV!
🤝🤝
300mm sind meiner Meinung nach nicht geeignet für Wildlife. Ich bin immer noch überzeugt vom 200-600mm f6.3
The 200-600 is a fantastic lens, and my 300 is not replacing it!😊
I just bought a7iv, but then a7rv, a7rv 😭😭😭
The A7IV is fantastic!
nice bro
you have single-handedly influenced me to pursue photography, and it is one of my biggest passions now. thank you for your beautiful work and content olle!
I LOVED that shot of the kingfisher! What struck me about it was that it was not taken at eye level. It was very refreshing to see a new composition. Also the colors, *chef's kiss*.
@@arvindkrovvidi1781 Glad to hear that! thanks 😍
Enjoy it Olle. You really deserve it! If not you who else?! Pair it with the tv Sony have and you’ll have 3 primes in total with amazing performance. I’ve hear that even the 2x performs amazingly with the 300.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Yes, such a powerful combo. Excited to try it!
That lens is a MONSTER
Yes!!
Looking forward to your winter photo and video sessions. you do great work.
Glad to hear that, thank you! I’m looking forward to this winter!
There is a POV video again 😍 I absolutely looove these videos
I was very close to buying the Sony 300mm 2.8 GM with 1.4x and 2x, but in March 2024 I got the excellent Sigma 500mm 5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens. I still hope that Sony will make more high end prime tele Lenses, like fx 300mm 4.0, 400mm 4.5, 500mm 5.6 AND a 1.4x teleconverter for the Sony 135mm 1.8 GM.
200-600 user here! i watched your videos before buying it! i also had the Sigma 500mm f5.6 sport. and then I was waiting for you to buy the 300mm 2.8 lens because it's my next target. now you have one! congratulations!
I love your videos👌
Whould you rather have the a7 RV or the a 7iv?
Shot on 61mp camera and can crop images 😅😅😅
Its A Nice refreshment for eyes........Thanks for uploading
Congrats with new purchase! Question for that money would you not be better off buying used Sony 600mm prime ?
Thanks!🙌
I want to prioritise weight in my kit, and I found the 300 with TC to cover my needs perfectly. But I’d love to have all three primes in a perfect world 😂
Pls do more video with Sony a6700 🙏
hope we will get more content like this with this lense?!
100%!
Awesome video. This lens works well with the 1.4 and 2x tele-converter. The weight distribution of this lens is so well thought out and shooting with this lens and camera is flexible and easy.
A comparison with the new sigma 500mm f5.6 would be nice. (300mm with 1.4 or/and 2.0 teleconverter) - just to see the performance and the bokeh....
SO EXCITED For you!! Love and appreciate your passion!!!!! I hope you add the 1.4 and/or 2.0tele and give a review!!
Damn theses Photos are Amazing! o: I wish i had a 100-400 or 200-600 with an R Camera xD The moment when you Crop the image and its still crazy sharp.. dayum..
But im still a newbie c: currently i have a 6400 with a Tamron 17-70 2.8 VC for a very good allrounder Lens (currently not for animals xD but i like to go further in the future)
And maybe the 6400 is not the best Animal Camera.. idk why but the Tracker only works when i have Human eye on, not on animal (?) for me that makes no sense but hey /:
What would you recommend me for that? Animal Eye with Wide/Large-Medium Spot or Human eye for the Tracking and then like you did (i think) a large/medium spot? /: never test it yet sadly
Do you have a 2x extender or it is something you will invest in? 👀👀 I think it would be a nice lightweight 600mm 👌
bəs yaxşı ,bu videoda siz çəkən kamera hansıdır? Azərbaycandan salamlarr
Once you shoot with one of the fast super telephoto primes nothing else matches up. I used to shoot with Sony’s old A-mount 300mm f2.8, which gave great results and again allowed extreme cropping. It also weighed a kg more than the new lens. I’m excitedly waiting for a (used) Sony 400mm f2.8 to arrive.
Yes, tje quality is pretty insane!
Congrats on your purchase, I guess you’ll be like a child on christmas when it arrives. I know I would!
Its like nature ASMR 🖤
Have you tried this lens with A9iii? I'm sure the 'pre-capture' function of that body will be awesome for bird in flight photos.
300mm is just never enough really. I went from the 200-600 to the 500mm F4 Sigma on the A7RV, what a Difference, the Sigma is crazy sharp, it's night and day compared to the Sony 200-600. Would never go back.
I think the reach is just not enough a lot of the times even with the A7RV which I also have. Raising the ISO really hurts the A7RV so you get more noise and worse images when cropping. I've been thinking about either the Sigma 500mm F/5.6 for the size, weight and price. Or the Sony 400mm F/2.8 for the low light capabilities while still capturing a good chunk of the scene. Or Sony 600mm F/4 for that reach. But it's heavy, pricy and F/4. It's a tough choice.
Hi Olle, really interesting this 300mm!
Do you find that the AF with AI on A7rV is better than the AF of the A7IV?
I saw tests saying that the A7IV was better and notement on birds in flight, I would have liked to have your opinion please.
And thank you for your always quality content!!
I have been dreaming of this lens for some weeks. I'm thinking of replacing my 200-600 GM, because of you know, weight.. I have the 1.4X teleconverter and i've heard the 300 GM is excellent with it, even the 2X. I cant wait to see you test it with a converter, comparing it to the 200-600mm. Great video.
The sharpness after cropping is insane compared to the amateur camera I'm using 😮
try sony HX99.looks how better your use.
I just bought the simga 500mm f4 because of your video’s of the lens i can say it’s really good maybe not the fasted af but it keeps up quite well. I got. A good second hand deal on it so it was quite cheap now i can save up and when i have enough i sell it agian to buy the 400mm for sony 300 is just a bit to short for me. But i can recommend everyone to buy a sigma 500mm f4 as a step up lens to a real sony prime if you can carry the weight
I really love your insights. Which burst rate and raw quality do you use? Is it still lossless compressed?
Awesome video as always! Have you had a chance to use the Sony 400mm/600mm yet?
Bro can you please make a video on Sony Xperia 5 mark III please bro
Hi. Are you shooting compressed raw for these?
I would love that canon make one like that for RF mount
which lens do you use to shoot those videos clips / shots
Didnt fancy the 400?
I wish i could post pictures in the comment section, then i could show you with what shitty quality of sharpness i'm stuck with! 😅
That must be an absolute banger of an lense you got there! 😉
Haha that would be a good function here on UA-cam!
Even though I act like it in this video (very excited by new gear)
Sharpness is far from everything. If I had to choose. I’d rather choose the skill how to take a good photo, than having 10 super sharp lenses without any knowledge! 😃
Are you shooting in shutter priority or full manual? Love the vid
@@YTGoldenArchitect I usually shoot in full manual. Thank you!
Be safe in jungle bro
This is so cool! Congrats Olle!!
Thank you Gamander!
What camera do you use for recording in this video?
@@mr_steel_001 Sony ZV-E1!
number 1 accessory you should get is a Zemlin lens cap for that front element!! ....you might also want to check out some lens skins from Lifeguard or Alphaguard...
Thanks for the tips!
Wish we had Kingfishers in Norway! Those catches you got are stunning!
Are you watching cause you liked my comment so could you tell me what kind of musics these are?😅
Not sure of the titles at the moment, but everything is picked from EpidemicSound’s library!😃
Beautiful camera lens. My dream lens. More videos please
