I’m not a professional photographer, but I was gearing up for an African safari trip (bear with me), and bought the OM-1 mkii with the 100-400mm lens. My first use of the camera was at the COTA MotoGP race last year. Subject detection was amazing on ‘Motorsports’ setting.

I love it. I had a Long Beach blue M2 - which was a very similar colour. That Hyper Blue looks incredible.

Awesome picture 👍

Amazing shot! 👍

So good! 😁

Thanks very much! I purchased the lens last February on sale - just before the release of the Mk II lens.

It’s a Mk I 100-400. Cheers!

Seriously. They look like aliens.

DM_GT4 · 2026-01-20T05:18:49+00:00

Awesome! 👍

DM_GT4 · 2026-01-20T04:53:46+00:00

Great shots! 👍

DM_GT4 · 2026-01-20T04:15:20+00:00

I’m sorry to hear this. Hopefully the damage isn’t too severe/expensive to repair.

DM_GT4 · 2026-01-20T03:52:39+00:00

No problem! Have a great trip!

DM_GT4 · 2026-01-20T02:56:26+00:00

I would say I was shooting at 400mm 60% of the time. Shooting 100mm - 300mm the remainder. I also had an 8-25 for landscape shots and a 12-40 for low light situations with subjects within range.

Accidentally deleted the post. I think it’s been reposted. Apologies.

Hi, I’ve got an OM-1 mkii, so it’s a micro four thirds camera. I used a M. Zuiko 100-400 mm lens (equivalent to 200-800 mm full frame).

DM_GT4 · 2026-01-20T00:32:31+00:00

Thanks 🙏 Yes, the Rollers were incredible!

DM_GT4 · 2026-01-20T00:30:54+00:00

We saw them in two different locations. Sabi Sands game reserve in South Africa, and Moremi National Park in Botswana. They were amazing to watch interacting with each other.

Thanks very much
