![Olympus MC-14 and MC-20 - [Image Quality?]](/img/1.gif)
Will 1 inch makes a difference? Oh yes!! I am going to start some reviews on these longer lenses and comparisons within the Olympus line up to give you some ideas on their quality and performance. The MC-14 is a must if you like to stretch those long lenses you have, especially for those who already have the 40-150mm 2.8 Pro. This little converter will allow you to get just a little closer to the subject.
not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you're stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been watching with my brother lately xD
@ yup, been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D
Wow those shots taken with the extender on are fantastic and when you were following that bike so smooth well done great information and honest as well stay safe see ya
Many thanks Bene! Much appreciated and hope you had a fab weekend! It's pretty challenging using the 300mm with the converter actually, not that the IBIS isn't good but filming with such a long lens is very difficult, photos are different haha... but it's quite fun shooting this set up.
Love the video!
I have the 40-150 plus the mc 14 love the results.
Can’t even imagine the reach with the 300!
Keep up the great content!
George Gilleo thanks for watching!
Another great review, Red!
Thanks mate! Have an awesome weekend!
Love your videos, keep it up !
Bought one to use with my 50-200mm Ziuko, since it is supposed to fit in the adapter. Hope it works, cause I also have the doubler & the 75-300, so that would be 840mm or 1680. We'll see how that works.
I just bought a brand new Olympus 300mm f4 and have paired it with the Mc 14 teleconverter and a Panasonic G9 for birding. It works beautifully. The stabilisation is only 4 stops with lens only but still sufficient to get sharp shots at 20 to 1/30 of a sec at 840mm. Hope Panasonic or OM digital will release higher megapixel cameras with maybe 30 megapixel then it will finally take full advantage of the sharpness of this lens.
Just caught this piece on the Oly teleconverter. I’m wondering if there is a sweet spot focal length or aperture for either lens with the teleconverter that produces the optimum resolution. It kind of stands to reason that it would shift the normal sweet spot. Not sure finding the teleconverter sweet spot 🤔 would bring back the lenses’ standard resolution but perhaps it would bring it close. Does this make any sense?
Creative wildlife photographers have started using the high end Olympus body, this teleconverter, and the 300mm f4 lens to produce a lightweight hand-holdable (6 stops of image stabilization) camera with 840mm of 35mm equivalent reach! I have yet to see any RUclipsr pick up on that combo.
When I got the 40-150mm pro I had some doubt that the mc-14 would be better than cropping since people on dpreview said cropping was better. I rented one and tried and and men they where wrong. In most situation the mc-14 does a lot better than cropping and this even at higher iso as long as you stay under is 6400. Of course I bought one after those test and when I got the 300mm f4 pro I did the same test again and the mc-14 won on most shots too. Those two lenses are so incredible that the mc-14 IQ reduction is negligible and I simply forget I'm using a tc. On the 300mm f4 the mc-14 is installed 80% of the time and on the 40-150mm f2.8 the mc-14 is installed around 40% of the time. With the 300mm f4 pro this is an amazing birding and wildlife setup with so much stabilization that a tripod is not useful and it's so light and portable that I can handheld that for a complete day.
Olympus has something very unique with those and they are well worth the money.
Sylvain Paquette Thanks for your comment and input mate! Yes, this converter is very good indeed. My comparison shots confirms it that the one with the MC-14 beats the one with digital crop in post by far
Hey Jim, nice review of the converter.
It does work with manual lenses. There is plenty of room for the converter’s front protruding lens element to extend easily into the adapter and not contact the back of any manual lenses.
Cheers.
Yes, I've used it before too and it works, great for some old manual lenses
Which make of manual lenses would it fit Jim? I have the MC-14 and the 40-150 2.8 pro and it's nice but it was expensive,sometimes I think I should have just saved up for the Nikon P900 for a long reach :)
Mario Arias, you could use pretty much any manual lens with the right adapter. I have some old Zuiko lenses from my 35 mm days. Look on ebay for lens adapters. For my example, I have an OM to MFT adapter which then can attach to the MC-14. There are many vintage lenses that you could fit to your camera this way. Cheers.
I have 40-150pro, and mc14 and 75-300mmii is almost same price here, can't decide what to get
There is always the argument: is it better to simply crop a good digital image or use a teleconverter. From my experience this teleconverter is clearly an improvement in image quality over cropping. With my Nikons by expensive teleconverters don't exceed the image quality over cropping to same angle of view. Most importantly for me is that this lens allows for a decrease in minimum focusing distance-- this is not so with Nikon's teleconverters.
Ever consider doing a behind the scenes of how u produce the videos?
We are pretty RAW actually but if you are interested in our workflow, we will be doing some videos in the future about it.
The 40-150 kit also has the hole. Is it compatible?
Yes:)
I'm so sad I can't use it with my 100-300mm. Your review is 👍
Cheers mate. Yeah only those with 'butt holes' sorry about my bad jokes hahaha
@@Red35Photography excellent hahaha
I got this lense 40-150pro with the tele.
Sir plss tell me does it losses quality on the image?
I say no it will be a lie, just like any converters on the market. But only small so don't worry :)
@@Red35Photography thank you very much🔥🔥🔥
Nice arm patch! 😉
RoshuaJogers Cheers :)
Sexual references everywhere in this video, lol!
Now Charli won't exclaim, 'it's so tiny!'

He said “butthole”... huh heh heh
Lol ! Have you met Kai recently? Just asking because of your saucy innuendos.
😂😂😂😱😱😱 I don't know why I did that.... hahaha just came to my thoughts when I was filming.
Hahaha
