The Nikon Z50 II paired with a used Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II via the Sigma MC-21 EF-to-Z adapter disrupts that negotiation in a way worth examining. The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II is one of Canon’s most undervalued lenses. https://pho.tography.org/2026/04/12/om-1-mark-ii--150-400mm-f/4.5-tc-wild-thing/ Sun, 12 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://pho.tography.org/2026/04/12/om-1-mark-ii--150-400mm-f/4.5-tc-wild-thing/ Wildlife and bird photography has a reach problem. Subjects do not cooperate with proximity, environments punish heavy equipment, and the focal lengths required to fill a frame with a distant bird in flight push into ranges where cost and weight traditionally become prohibitive. The OM System OM-1 Mark II with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO solves this problem in a way that nothing else in the market currently replicates.
