- This is the first time for me trying out my new lens (Sony 300mm 2.8 GM OSS) for some bird photography by the river. This was a very rewarding day for a first try, with both Osprey, Great Egret and Kingfisher in front of me.

The thing I like the most is that you always upload video exactly at coffee/relaxing time... So yeah let's have a 😗☕ 🤏
Haha relaxing time is the best!!
Glad to hear you like it. I’ll continue uploading during coffee time then! ☕️🤌🏼
@@ollenilssonenUpload more plz, I'm always waiting for your videos
Love when you're geeking out about new gear! The true photo nerd in you comes out 😍
I LOVED that shot of the kingfisher! What struck me about it was that it was not taken at eye level. It was very refreshing to see a new composition. Also the colors, *chef's kiss*.
@@arvindkrovvidi1781 Glad to hear that! thanks 😍
It works really well with both the 1.4 and 2x TC. You can easily use the 2X with no problem
even with the A7RV? i have the 200-600mm with the A7RV and through experiments concluded that the 1.4x gives no extra detail/sharpness even at the same ISO. The sharpness of the lens+teleconverter combination is not good enough for the 61MP sensor, so there is no additional gain using teleconverter.
@@DanielSymphoniesShort answer is yes (At least with my 50MP A1) I never use the 1.4xTC on the 200-600 it just suffers to much in image quality (like you said) and off course F9 I'm not a fan of. BUT the 300GM takes both the 1.4 TC and 2X exceptionally well. I was very surprised with the 2X. It's the first lens I have ever felt I have gotten good AF and IQ with the 2x.
here is a summary of my experience with all the big primes.
400 GM F2.8 - 1.4 TC = good IQ and AF hitrate 80-85% // 2x TC = Not so good IQ (Lots of CA) and struggling AF.
600GM F4 - 1.4TC = Very good IQ, AF hitrate about 85-90% so little loss in AF. // 2X TC = Still good IQ. But here the AF starts to lagg behind. So almost never use 2X.
300GM F2.8 - 1.4TC = Can not see any loss in IQ. AF just as good as with bare lens. // 2X TC = Still very good 90-95% IQ. AF maybe a good 95%.
The 300GM just takes both 1.4 and 2X really well. Much better than the other big primes, from Sony.
Of course all of my testing is done with the Sony A1.
@@DanielSymphonies I just sold my 200-600. The 300 blows it away in every way possible. I’m shooting with a a9 and a7r V. I have both teleconverters and have had great results with them. I sold the 200-600 because I have yet to pick it up since receiving my 300. Hope this helps
@@DanielSymphonies Surprisingly yes. I have tested my copy extensively against the 200-600G (on my A1, so only 50MP) and while the IQ suffers with the TC2, it is still at least marginally better than the naked 200-600. Which is very usable and pretty much the only combo that even focuses decently with an TC2.
That lens is a MONSTER
Yes!!
Enjoy it Olle. You really deserve it! If not you who else?! Pair it with the tv Sony have and you’ll have 3 primes in total with amazing performance. I’ve hear that even the 2x performs amazingly with the 300.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Yes, such a powerful combo. Excited to try it!
you have single-handedly influenced me to pursue photography, and it is one of my biggest passions now. thank you for your beautiful work and content olle!
9:58 ohh man the best photo of this entire video love it!
200-600 user here! i watched your videos before buying it! i also had the Sigma 500mm f5.6 sport. and then I was waiting for you to buy the 300mm 2.8 lens because it's my next target. now you have one! congratulations!
Not a bad day. Grab a drink, watch your video, and feel as peaceful as always. cheer!!
Its A Nice refreshment for eyes........Thanks for uploading
Its like nature ASMR 🖤
These vlogtype videos are one of my favorites. Best of luck to your autumn! 🍂
@@N1CEONE_ I’m glad you like them! Thanks for watching bro!
@@ollenilssonen That lens is just crazy sharp. 😅 So happy that you finally got it!
@@N1CEONE_ It’s actually ridiculous hoe sharp it is!
Thank you so much!😃
I got this year in the spring my Canon EF 300 2.8 II and i Love it the sharpness ist insane and you can still Walk with it in Hand for a few hours
Absolute Dream of a lens! Who needs 600mm when you have such quality! Also great encounters! I still wait patiently for my first kingfisher photo
This is so cool! Congrats Olle!!
Thank you Gamander!
i just watching this channel to learn something. thank you for anything.
The sharpness after cropping is insane compared to the amateur camera I'm using 😮
Wish we had Kingfishers in Norway! Those catches you got are stunning!
What a great pleasure to see 1. a new video of yours and 2. the same combo I used all summer to shoot vultures, eagles and hawks!
I used the A7RV with 20-70mm and let me tell you all people, it’s insane how you can space between 20mm and 900mm with just two lenses in the smallest, lightweight wildlife camera bag ever! 2,5kg for the entire rig!
Yeah you read it right, 900mm, that’s because the 300gm has such an unsurpassed quality that you can weld the 2x TC and forget every previous problems about downgrade in sharpness, microcontrast and overall quality. You have a 600/5.6 top notch, and with the 26mpx A7RV crop, you can easily reach stunning 900mm to crop a little bit again! I was not a a cropping fan, but this combo change my mind so fast. It’s time for a 3x tc Sony!
Can’t wait to see other calm, contemplative, wild video with this lens. Congrats for the purchase, you won’t regret it!
If the camera was faster (fps) that would be a good combination.
@@richardfink7666 I disagree with the term "good", I prefered "better". Cause its AF compensate the 20/30 fps of other brands. Not the A1/9, they're the best
@@ph_anto Well not really. As you can see from the photos of the birds in flight the most beautiful wing positions are missing.
@@richardfink7666 if we're not talking about A1 and A9, I surely would choose A7RV AF reliability instead of a Canon R5/Nikon Z8 burst rate because I don't care about wing position if they are blurry.
Again, I agree if you put an A1 in the conversation.
@@ph_anto I bet not all photos on the A7R5 are sharp either.....even the A9III can`t do that.
Looking forward to your winter photo and video sessions. you do great work.
Glad to hear that, thank you! I’m looking forward to this winter!
always looking forward to your next video man..
I appreciate that! More to come this fall!🙌
There is a POV video again 😍 I absolutely looove these videos
I was very close to buying the Sony 300mm 2.8 GM with 1.4x and 2x, but in March 2024 I got the excellent Sigma 500mm 5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens. I still hope that Sony will make more high end prime tele Lenses, like fx 300mm 4.0, 400mm 4.5, 500mm 5.6 AND a 1.4x teleconverter for the Sony 135mm 1.8 GM.
Beautiful camera lens. My dream lens. More videos please
Great shots! I want to try this lens so bad.
Question, what camera are you using for the vlogging/talking portions of the video? That footage is super clear
EDIT: nvm just saw in another comment you said ZV-E1
I love your videos👌
Whould you rather have the a7 RV or the a 7iv?
The background musics❤
Congrats with new purchase! Question for that money would you not be better off buying used Sony 600mm prime ?
Thanks!🙌
I want to prioritise weight in my kit, and I found the 300 with TC to cover my needs perfectly. But I’d love to have all three primes in a perfect world 😂
Thanks for mentioning me! ❤
Great video as always! Sharpens of this lens is mind blowing 😮 I’m so happy for you and I can’t wait to see how much you can squeeze out of this setup 🔥
hope we will get more content like this with this lense?!
100%!
Pls do more video with Sony a6700 🙏
At some point you take all photos at 50mm/1.2 and just crop!
Hello, Ollen Nielsen, a very nice video showing whether the Sony a7.4 performs as well with this lens.
I wish Canon could make a RF 300 f2.8 and I wish Sony cameras had better screens and viewfinders ... and I wish Nikon gear wasn't so damn expensive ... and OM systems should move over to APS-C ...
no, OM system doesn't need to move to aps-c, straight full-frame, or don't move at all.
Beautiful successful captures of the birds … I like the great egrets flying in front of dark mossy trees 😉 Thanks for sharing
So glad to hear that, thank you!🙏🏻
A comparison with the new sigma 500mm f5.6 would be nice. (300mm with 1.4 or/and 2.0 teleconverter) - just to see the performance and the bokeh....
300mm sind meiner Meinung nach nicht geeignet für Wildlife. Ich bin immer noch überzeugt vom 200-600mm f6.3
The 200-600 is a fantastic lens, and my 300 is not replacing it!😊
Mind blowing channel 🎉❤
Awesome video. This lens works well with the 1.4 and 2x tele-converter. The weight distribution of this lens is so well thought out and shooting with this lens and camera is flexible and easy.
That details in crop is unmatchable💯
Once you shoot with one of the fast super telephoto primes nothing else matches up. I used to shoot with Sony’s old A-mount 300mm f2.8, which gave great results and again allowed extreme cropping. It also weighed a kg more than the new lens. I’m excitedly waiting for a (used) Sony 400mm f2.8 to arrive.
Yes, tje quality is pretty insane!
Congrats on your purchase, I guess you’ll be like a child on christmas when it arrives. I know I would!
The excitement never goes away with this lens. I’m extremely happy with it. I can’t wait to see more content from you about this lens
finally new video 😂 waited too long
Damn theses Photos are Amazing! o: I wish i had a 100-400 or 200-600 with an R Camera xD The moment when you Crop the image and its still crazy sharp.. dayum..
But im still a newbie c: currently i have a 6400 with a Tamron 17-70 2.8 VC for a very good allrounder Lens (currently not for animals xD but i like to go further in the future)
And maybe the 6400 is not the best Animal Camera.. idk why but the Tracker only works when i have Human eye on, not on animal (?) for me that makes no sense but hey /:
What would you recommend me for that? Animal Eye with Wide/Large-Medium Spot or Human eye for the Tracking and then like you did (i think) a large/medium spot? /: never test it yet sadly
300mm is just never enough really. I went from the 200-600 to the 500mm F4 Sigma on the A7RV, what a Difference, the Sigma is crazy sharp, it's night and day compared to the Sony 200-600. Would never go back.
Hey man! I recently watched all of your videos and I am REALLY flattered by your work it's just amazing.
I want to work with you man. A DSLR Nikon D3400 and a basic telephoto lens 70-300mm all I have to capture little creatures.
I know that's not a professional kit but it is what it is,I try my best to take the photos. My framing is like just OKAY maybe. I wanna work with you because I wanna learn and travel with you to get some serious cool pictures. Believe me I have potential, I just need some chances to imply that. I think you are humble too besides an extraordinary photographer. I really want to work with you,I don't want any stipend or money. I just wanna explore.
If you're interested we can talk more about this and I will send some pictures taken by me.
That's all sir. You're doing great.stay safe.
I think the reach is just not enough a lot of the times even with the A7RV which I also have. Raising the ISO really hurts the A7RV so you get more noise and worse images when cropping. I've been thinking about either the Sigma 500mm F/5.6 for the size, weight and price. Or the Sony 400mm F/2.8 for the low light capabilities while still capturing a good chunk of the scene. Or Sony 600mm F/4 for that reach. But it's heavy, pricy and F/4. It's a tough choice.
Hello brother, would you ever like to review canon camera bodies, although sony's lens range is really wide and autofocus is just too good, but regarding colour science and processing of digital noise, it would be exciting to see how you as a sony user experiences canon.
admire your new Lens. I'm using FE200-600 as well. Does it feel like you don't want to go back to your 200-600 anymore ?
Awesome video pal
@@SauterScoots Thank you so much!🙏🏻
PoV wildlife bird photography video ?
I just bought the simga 500mm f4 because of your video’s of the lens i can say it’s really good maybe not the fasted af but it keeps up quite well. I got. A good second hand deal on it so it was quite cheap now i can save up and when i have enough i sell it agian to buy the 400mm for sony 300 is just a bit to short for me. But i can recommend everyone to buy a sigma 500mm f4 as a step up lens to a real sony prime if you can carry the weight
Beautiful lens but it's too small in my opinion. (Not an irony, I love big lenses)
What's the least shutter speed you can reach with that thing? Even at like 1/3200 it was damn bright
Awesome video as always! Have you had a chance to use the Sony 400mm/600mm yet?
❤❤❤🎉🎉
I really love your insights. Which burst rate and raw quality do you use? Is it still lossless compressed?
Dream lens but unfortunetly so high on price.
Great video Olle ,that 300mm F2.8 is a beasts local camera shop where i bought my A74 and 200-600mm from had their staff photographer show me what it could do with it on a A74, there was a golf course a 2 minute walk from the store with ponds and lots of trees and he took photos and i was surprised at the difference in the clarity and sharpness of the photos with it, it is one amazing lens, it must have been amazing to use at the summer olympics in France with the new A93, you will have fun with it with a tele converter 👍
Thanks!
Yes, the micro contrast of this thing is so good. Very impressive!
yes, must have been a dream to use!😃
Nice video! In the future, I am curious if you are going to use the 300mm or the 200-600mm? Is the 300mm not to short for bird fotografie. If you use the 2x convertor you have the same aperture than the 200-600 mm. But this lens is €5.000 cheaper …
@@erikbackx3927 you are begginer and pure amateur, you don't need that.
I wish i could post pictures in the comment section, then i could show you with what shitty quality of sharpness i'm stuck with! 😅
That must be an absolute banger of an lense you got there! 😉
Haha that would be a good function here on RUclips!
Even though I act like it in this video (very excited by new gear)
Sharpness is far from everything. If I had to choose. I’d rather choose the skill how to take a good photo, than having 10 super sharp lenses without any knowledge! 😃
Are you shooting in shutter priority or full manual? Love the vid
@@YTGoldenArchitect I usually shoot in full manual. Thank you!
I would love that canon make one like that for RF mount
try sony HX99.looks how better your use.
Yea.. I just came back from my first Africa safari bringing my this new 300 GM too.. I cant say enough good things about it.. it's so fast.. sharp and light and small.. small if you compare it to the other big boys like 400 and 600.. There are people around me using stuff like 400... 100-400 or 200-600 .. Sure everyone is happy and got good shots but some end up taking breaks or tired because their lens is heavy. Right you can rest the gear on the sandbag or etc on the vehicle but... man.. 300GM is less than 1.5kg.. come on..
The 400GM is double the price.. double the weight and alot bigger for just what 100mm.. (more reach if you add tc but...400gm dont take tc better than 300gm).. in any case.. alittle crop will get you there.. 300GM is so good.
@@sgpork Glad to hear you enjoyed the lens on your trip! (very jealous)
It’s suuuuch a great lens indeed. I totally agree with everything you’re saying.
which lens do you use to shoot those videos clips / shots
This is the last video my wallet needs to see ;_;
Great job, as always.
Haha I know that feeling…
Thank you!
Stunning video🔥🔥🔥 since I have this lens I don’t touch my 200-600 and my 70-200mm f2.8 gm II anymore 😉 The 300mmf2.8 gm is an absolute banger!!!
I can highly recommend the x2TC for it, especially for taking videos. You can go crop mode and then even go for the power zoom in 4k and get really nice footage at 1200mm. One of my sharpest lenses ever. And it’s as sharp with the x2 TC as my 200-600. I prefer it for closer subjects as well. Enjoy it. (I know you will love this beauty)
I have been dreaming of this lens for some weeks. I'm thinking of replacing my 200-600 GM, because of you know, weight.. I have the 1.4X teleconverter and i've heard the 300 GM is excellent with it, even the 2X. I cant wait to see you test it with a converter, comparing it to the 200-600mm. Great video.
Hi Olle, really interesting this 300mm!
Do you find that the AF with AI on A7rV is better than the AF of the A7IV?
I saw tests saying that the A7IV was better and notement on birds in flight, I would have liked to have your opinion please.
And thank you for your always quality content!!
That one is on my shopping list. Interesting fact. Take the APSC mode of the RV and pop it into the compact Sony body and you have the A6700. Same number of pixels, same ISO performance, faster FPS, better video capabilities but with the exact same AF performance...at less than half the price. That is what I use on my Sigma 600mm for birds with great results. Not as good for sports (which is what I shoot professionaly), but I have the A9 for that. Love your video, as per usual.
number 1 accessory you should get is a Zemlin lens cap for that front element!! ....you might also want to check out some lens skins from Lifeguard or Alphaguard...
Thanks for the tips!
Hej olle im 13 and want a camera upgrade for 550 dollars plus lens!
Thay would be good at vidio and wildlife photography!
U got any suggestions
great photos!
can't wait to see more!
😍
Thank you!😍
5:33 man is holding a machine gun 😅
Have you tried this lens with A9iii? I'm sure the 'pre-capture' function of that body will be awesome for bird in flight photos.
No, but that combo would be sick!
0:10, good lord that's sharp and I didn't expect that. My stupidass 70-300 canon usm cannot comprehend that quality 😂
hello hello, I've been waiting for the new video. Welcome Hungarians..
The quality of these primes is so high that using the teleconverters still gives excellent results if you need a bit more reach. I find the A7RV an excellent wildlife camera, as the cropping ability is astounding.
Was eagerly waiting for your video
Finally 😍
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Very expressive lens😮
Are you watching cause you liked my comment so could you tell me what kind of musics these are?😅
Not sure of the titles at the moment, but everything is picked from EpidemicSound’s library!😃
ayyyy
SO EXCITED For you!! Love and appreciate your passion!!!!! I hope you add the 1.4 and/or 2.0tele and give a review!!
Thank you so much!
I'll make a video about the TC2 with this lens!
@@ollenilssonen AWESOME!!! I am hoping that combination is sharp!! The 600 4.0 is a MASSIVE price... THANK YOU!
Nice.What is your pov camera and lens. Thanks
Bro can you please make a video on Sony Xperia 5 mark III please bro
Nice kit! Looks like the a7rv has an easier time focusing than the a7iv
Do you have a 2x extender or it is something you will invest in? 👀👀 I think it would be a nice lightweight 600mm 👌
I have it, and I'll make a video about how it performs with this lens in the following weeks :D
@@ollenilssonen Ohhh, looking forward to it! 🙌
What camera do you use for recording in this video?
@@mr_steel_001 Sony ZV-E1!
I just bought a7iv, but then a7rv, a7rv 😭😭😭
The A7IV is fantastic!
this video is calming. thank you
Didnt fancy the 400?
Hi. Are you shooting compressed raw for these?
bəs yaxşı ,bu videoda siz çəkən kamera hansıdır? Azərbaycandan salamlarr
Amazing, thank you for sharing... 👍👍😉
All his video feel like im dying somewhere with no one knows where am I 🫠
What a dream of a lens. Can't wait for more content!
I have same Lens + Sony a1! Best Combo!
I would love to see this Lens on an A6700.
Very nice content as usual! Keep it up! Best wishes from a fellow photographer in Austria!
That would be very interesting, indeed!
Thank you 🙏🏻
