Nice shot... also I thought you sold all your M43 gear and only shot Sony.
Thanks! hehe... best laid plans and all.
I was dabbling in m4/3 until getting the 150-400. I am now a full on believer.
So comfy to walk around with. Love the Arca padded grip and the reach and not having to dismount the lens to activate the TC.
Until Sony comes up with a fastish telezoom with built in teleconverter the OM-1 is staying in the kit but for everything else the A1 II is just so good at everything.
Renewed my "Buy and Sell" and will start paring down the Fuji kit instead.

I see... it's a great system that is really fun to shoot with. Here's some photos I took a few years back with my 150-400TC.

Any reconsideration now that Sony has announced the 100-400 f/4.5? It's virtually the same size and weight as the 150-400 but half the price. No built-in TC and pixel density of the new a7RVI at ~67 MP is still short of 80MP FF equivalent reach in the OM-1, not to mention it's not a fully stacked sensor with the speed of the OM-1... but I'm guessing image quality differences at the pixel level will not be that much different.

Pretty good question but the new 100-400 is still not on the radar.
I've got the 70-200 2.8GM II and both tcs and find them to work pretty well together.
The 200-600 is still chugging along and imo is still a great bang for the buck lens.
If the new Sony had a built in TC - there's a much better chance I would have taken a good long look. The R VI has zero interest for me either but I'm spoiled by the A1 II.
It's a beast. If landscape were a thing for me then maybe I'd give it a whirl but I sold the A7 RV to make room for the A1 II with zero regrets.
