Special thanks to OM System Malaysia, I managed to get a loan of the new OM System 100-400mm F5-6.3 Mark II for testing. I brought it along with my OM System OM-1 camera to the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park and did some bird shooting. I was particularly interested in the effectiveness of the 5-Axis Sync IS, which was the new update, or upgrade to the Mark II version of 100-400mm lens over the original Mark I version. Spoilers alert - the 5-Axis Sync IS was incredible! I can hand-hold down to 1/25 second shutter speed at 400mm full telephoto end of the lens with no issues, getting away with sharp images! I recorded my stabilization test as well as some bird shooting action in my latest video here (click). Not sure why in the video I made a mistake of confusing between yaw and pitch movements! Note to self: have enough coffee before making any talking head video in the morning.
