    Here is another from the Nikon V1/80ED combination, this time a Titmouse. Uncropped from the same distance of about 40 feet, but with a Tamron PRO 1.4x TC attached. 1/250, ISO 800, this was processed from RAW with some color and brightness/contrast adjustments, and minor sharpening.

    It's early days yet and I am not really familiar with the camera. My DSLR is a D90, so my comments are relative to that. In the Pen's favor, I find manual focus much easier than with the D90. The P2 has a 7x or 10x image magnification for manual focus which is really good and easy to use to...

    I've just acquired an Olympus Pen E-P2, so naturally I had to put on the scope (Orion ED80), and managed to capture this very colorful female cardinal. I'm quite pleased with this little camera - the IQ is better than I expected. Both shots are uncropped from raw files with only minor white...
