I don't normally use long tele-lenses, so this 100-400mm is always an interesting experience! #BirdPhotography #telephoto #OMSystem #Milwaukee

The HDF effect, "high diffusion filter" is pretty slick, and most significantly, it can be EASILY turned on/off.

With its 40mm angle of view, the #RicohGR3XHDF is great for #streetphotography or for taking a hike - basically, I guess I'm saying this camera is fun for GETTING OUT INTO THE WORLD AND MOVING YER BODY!

The #RIcohGRiiiXHDF is a sorta "undercover" camera...a tiny but powerful and so darn capable image-making machine!

Panels one and two: 
Two white mice make their way through a maze.

Panel three:
Having completed the maze, the two mice are rewarded with some fruit. Two scientists watch them. One says:
 β€œPoor little things: all that thought and effort just to earn themselves a little treat.”
 
The second scientist looks at a clock and says: β€œCoffee time!”

Panels four and five:
The two scientists make their way through a maze of corridors to a door marked β€œCanteen”

Panel six:
The scientists look at the food on offer. One says: β€œOoh, Donuts!”

Too, take note that it IS a 2.8 max. aperture lens, but the closer you focus, the more the lens - automatically- stops down, to f5.6 at 1:1, if I remember right. This is NORMAL.
It's such a dang nice lens - for closeups and for #PortraitPhotography!

Tamron has been making a version of this close-up lens for over forty-five years!
Shoot it wide-open or stopped-down, you're gonna get good performance! :)

And, to casual observation, both teleconverters seemed to be plenty sharp enough!

Got an interesting pair of TAMRON 1.4x TELECONVERTERS in Used right now - one is only $30, one is $315. Yes, the III is much newer, but both seemed to focus the 70-200/2.8 G2 lens just fine.
With the III, the camera DID register that a teleconverter was attached, where the older one didn't.

We’ve got a cool, wireless 2-mic DJI kit in stock at the store, and if you do video work, or want to do video work, you should consider it. As you can see, it captures good audio!
