Video Description

This video is sure to be a crowd favorite, as it serves as a follow-up to the most controversial video I’ve ever made. In this video, we'll examine the best wildlife system made by OM System and compare it to a full-frame Nikon system at a similar price point, both of which have a focal equivalent of 800mm. As I approached this video, I might have had a slight case of full-frame snobbery, but would my perspective change after using the OM System's camera body and lens for an entire month? **VIDEO NOTES** I did not mention the built-in teleconverter of the 150-400mm lens, which is a really nice feature and contributes to the price of the lens (especially relative to the Nikon 400mm f/4.5). Personally, I value the built-in teleconverters as $1,000 worth of value and convenience (personal opinion).
