2018 F 150 Line Out Converter

After seeing this lens at Photo Plus 2018 and comparing it to the 150-600 I had to order it. The lens feels lighter than the 150-600 and the stabilization was noticeably better. When the lens arrived from B&H I tested it against my Canon 100-400 L version 2 and was blown away by my tests. At similar focal lengths and aperatures (as wide open as I could) the Sigma was sharper and resolved more detail. Now add on the extra 200mm you get beyond the 400 and it was a simple decision for me. Sold the 100-400 the next day. Can’t wait to take it on my next wildlife photo trip.

I bought the 2x teleconverter for my Olympus 40-150 mm lens ... to double the focal length to 80-300 mm ... and the 2x teleconverter works as advertised. I have thought about buying the 300 mm lens ... but the size and the weight is a challenge for travel ... and the 40-150 mm with a 2x converter is very travel friendly. Note: you do loose 2 stops of lights with the 2x converter attached ... therefore ambient light and shutter speed may be an issue for moving subjects ... BUT on the positive ... if you own the 300 mm lens ... you can use the 2x converter and increase the focal length to 600 mm.

If you have the Panasonic HMC-150 this battery is the right one. Out of the box and after a full charge my camera's batery read out displayed "100 min". I have not fully tested if the battery would actually yield 100 min, but I'm sure there would be lots of variables to consider; like age of camera, the amount of servo zoom use, auto vs. manual zoom use, etc. If you plan to shoot longer than an hour, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have several of these. So far, this battery meets all of my my filming needs.

Youd think for the price this would have some flaws. At f.1/4 its pretty sharp at f.2 its razor sharp. I did not look at the outer edges of the frames as Im concerned with my subject. Good buy for the price.

I am very happy to have this teleconverter to use with my Olympus 40-150 f/2.8. Do I find the image quality of the lens better without the teleconverter? Yes, a bit, a very little bit. When I need the extra focal length, does it matter to me. No, not a bit. This is truly a fine teleconverter. The finish matches the lens and since this converter extends the length of the lens by only about a half inch, I hardly even know it there. I use it on an EM1. If you marvel at the image stabilization capabilities of the EM1, hand holding the 40-150 f/2.8 with this converter will make you believe in magic.

Bought this to compliment the 40-150 Pro. Hoped to keep the sharpness of the 40-150 intact while using this converter. It didn't disappoint.

I use this with the 40-150 F2.8 Pro lens. I was concerned about image quality. My concerns were unfounded. I have had the 1.4 converter for years and never had an issue. The MC-20 is great, maintaining. great image quality. I have the new M.Zuiko 100-400 on order and looking forward to really getting some reach out of that lens with this converter. Depending on your needs, I recommend this as a great converter, giving one a lot of options, now that Olympus has 3 lens that are compatible with the converters.

I use the 40-150 lens for anything from Landscape to Birding. The addition of the 2x converter is a game changer. 600mm equivalent for birding is plenty for most situations, and the auto-focus still works great. I like that it takes such good macro's too. I rarely use my 60mm macro lens anymore. What blew me away was using this combo to shoot the moon (handheld). Very impressive for just 150mm focal length.

This was the perfect connection to allow a separate signal from there Line Out on the Portacapture X8 to the Mini XLR inputs on my C70 Cameras

1) regarding the headphone: it is of high quality & very suitable to me as a licensed HAM radio operator. It working very well with my ICOM7100 transceiver. It is exactly what I need, only headphone without mic ..... 2) regarding ZOOM H1n: it is beyond my expectation ! I searched for about 5 years for hand held audio recorder that support both LINE LEVEL OUTPUT & INPUT to use it with my Tecsun H-501x radio which is a meltimedia player also, & has Line Out & Line In ports, but has no built-in recorder. ZOOM H1n is doing exactly what I need. The ZOOM H1n has automatic record level option. Just activate this option & wait only for 1 or 2 seconds after connecting between Line Out of external device & Line In of ZOOM H1n & last will adjust level input so that your recording will never be distorted ! I tried this setting even without activating limiter & every thing was very okay. This option explained well in user manual. But, big surprising (a very happy surprising) that NOT documented in user manual is that the ZOOM H1n will AUTOMATICALLY adjust it's output level when you connected it's Line Out port to In port of external device so that ZOOM H1n audio out will be match other device (will be at Line Out level if you connect it to Line In port, & will be at Mic level in if you connect it to Mic in port & will be at suitable level with headphone if you connect it to headphone so that sound will never be low [Line in], nor being distorted [Mic In] due to being high, nor injurious to your head [headphone])! Really I was lucky when ordered this kit ! Thank you BH Photo & Video for the cute deal that you offered !
