Olympus E-PL1 teleport 1120mm test - Handheld

The above image is Tokina 80-400mm + Kenko 1.4x teleconverter + Nikon Lens adapter to micro 4/3 mount + Olympus E-PL1 (Tokina 80-400mm test1, test2)

400mm x 1.4 x 2 = 1120mm (35mm camera equivalent)

(2 is 4/3 form factor; E-PL1 has in-camera image stabilizer)



This is Tokina at 80mm end without 1.4x teleconverter.



This is at 80mm end with 1.4x teleconverter



This is Tokina at 400mm end without 1.4x teleconverter



This is Tokina at 400mm end with 1.4x teleconverter.

I have done Tokina 80-400mm testing on Nikon D90 and lens testing on the same physical spot in this following post, so you can go and look how Sydney AMP tower looks at all different mm's.

The noise in the image is due to the fact that it is getting dark, and that the test is all done hand held, therefore the very high ISO...

If on tripods, you can have ISO 200 quality and better focusing of course.

I am still wondering whether this teleport setup can be of any use, giving that, all manual focusing and manual exposing... etc.

Can any experienced one suggesting some potential and possible use of this?

E-PL1 does have the in-camera IS though, that's 1 thing.

BTW, 1120mm is the longest I have ever tried so far. Please C&C and correct... Thanks
