  • With all the talk at the minute of having to shoot with a 100-400mm for full frame landscape photography it got me thinking - how about the 40-150mm with 1.4x telelconverter instead? It's pretty close to a 100-400mm but with the added bonus of a nice bright f/4 fixed aperture.
    Could this be the perfect landscape photography telephoto setup? Come join me for a chat and a good few images and see if you agree that this is one of the best telephoto set ups on the market!

    Wildlife, portraits, landscape, and macros - the 40-150 f/2.8 does it all. I use mine for ships/boats and general stock photography around water / seaside areas. Only time I put the mc-14 on it is to increase magnification for wasps and bees in flight.

      It really is a fantastic versatile lens. And amazingly clean for a zoom too - a sign of a lens done right!

    Brilliant images,I live in the Lake District so it's always nice to see awesome photograph's of the local area. My buddy has just this past month bought this lens & he's mighty impressed with it too..I'm still a dinosaur & shooting heavy dslrs like the 1dx etc although I've just bought my first M43 body in a Panasonic G9. I'm looking forward to putting it through it's paces.

    I’ve been experimenting using this lens but using the digital 2x converter in my OM-1 Mkii. I know it’s only jeeps, but I have been happy with the results.

    • @LeighWPhotos
      @LeighWPhotos  5 місяців тому +1

      The thing's a brilliant all round lens and very sharp too! You'll lose a bit of clarity and resolution using the digital Tele but the results will still be fantastic!

    Great Lens. Use it often. Shot an airfest in Tampa with the 40-150mm and the 1.4x as well as birds at the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine Fl.

    Hi Leigh, you managed some cracking shots there mate, I use the Nikon Z system and love my 100-400 for landscape and wildlife although, for the latter, i'm contemplating getting the Z 180-600. Enjoyed the video Leigh, keep them coming 👍

    • @LeighWPhotos

      Thank you Steve! The lens combo comes with me on any lakes trip now - definitely now get the telephoto landscape shooting and in the mountains it's just glorious!
      I run the Olympus 300mm for wildlife, so 600 equivalent - it almost makes me laugh when I use it as it's just so damn sharp!

      @@everydaygrandad5642 150-600 is a toy. The 300mm F4 Pro is a far better lens and 300mm [600mm effective] is plenty long enough for birding once you have your field craft dialed in.
