Herefordshire view

[Julian Cartwright]

Morning all from a long-time lurker!

Recently took delivery of an S1RII. Coming from an S5 for landscapey stuff and an G9II for wildlife, it looks like it'll handle both duties with ease. So, while I decide on which, if any, camera to sell here's a shot from Herefordshire's Mortimer Forest, looking towards the hills of the Radnor Forest.

That was exactly my thinking too. I decided to sell my MFT gear in the coming months and stick with the S1Rii.

How do you like the 150-600? It is heavy, isn't it?

I've been impressed with the image quality of the 150-600 in the short time I've owned it, and have got nice, sharp results handheld. I bought it for wildlife mostly (the above shot was from an unsuccessful search for deer!) but yes, it is heavy! I did manage to walk for several hours up and down some quite steep hills with it and it was manageable, so I'm hoping I'll be OK. The G9ii/100-400 weighs next to nothing in comparison.
