Panasonic G9 + CANON EF500mm F4 + Viltrox EF-M1 : TEST1

I am Canon user for long, and recently I have my Panasonic setup slowly build up. I like my L lens and my G9 ….

 

one day, someone told me . I actually can use all my L lens on my M4/3 G9 . Due to busy work schedule, I dont have time to look into it until last week. I finally have time purchase one online and test it last 2 days … I did very quick test more testing would like to do

so I started with m2 adapter which give me

1. 1.4 crop (mean 500mm Canon F4 IS2, I got ~710mm and biggest aperture F2.8)

2. one stop bigger aperture

3. lost len Image stabiliser

4. AFC hunting, AFH is not working at all

5. either TC (CANON, PANASONIC) is not working (but tested on Olympus camera, it is working but very slow AF)

6. AF speed almost same like my G9 + LEICA 200mm F2.8 (almost not noticeable different)

previous test

Panasonic G9 + CANON EF500mm F4 + Viltrox EF-M2II : TEST2 High Resolution

 

############

After months testing the m2 adapter, I decided get m1 adapter for test and so far I tested 2 outing … here are the finding

1. 2x crop (mean 500mm Canon F4 IS2, I got 1000mm)

2. same biggest aperture (1000mm F4)

3. lost len Image stabiliser

4. AFC hunting, AFH is not working at all

5. TC (CANON) is working but very slow AF and aperture maintain at F1.0 so exposure can be problem

6. AF speed almost same like my G9 + LEICA 200mm F2.8 (almost not noticeable different) or even faster than m2 adapter

2. Bornean clouded leopard, 婆罗洲云豹, Neofelis diardi borneensis

– a rare wild cat, largest wild cat in Borneo

– 婆罗洲云豹是马来云豹的2个亚种之一。是婆罗洲岛最大的食肉动物,大小与小型美洲狮相当,头体长61-106厘米、尾长55-91厘米;体重16-23千克。外形以及体表的花纹都与亚洲其他地方地方云豹相似,只是体表的斑纹的色彩要暗很多,其犬齿长度相对于体型来说,居猫科动物之首。据科学家对比后发现,基于外部形态的对比,科学家发现婆罗洲云豹皮毛颜色要比大陆云豹更深更暗,身上的云状斑纹比大陆云豹小些,并出现了双背脊线。而大陆云豹的云状斑纹较大(其中尼泊尔云豹斑块最大),但在斑纹内斑点较少,毛色比婆罗洲云豹更加亮丽,双背脊线不连贯。
