I wrote some of today’s Photography News within this small, cozy office I set up near a kingfisher’s nest. The period when the kingfisher parents incubate their eggs is a slow one for photography. It can take up to three hours between two rotations on the nest while you wait for action. The first rotation occurred before sunrise – not much light, but it provided me with some samples for an upcoming article about the Nikon Z9 and high ISOs. You can read that one next week; for now, here is the week’s news in the world of photography.

The Olympus 300mm f/4.0 IS PRO is a high-performance telephoto lens built for the Micro Four Thirds system. This lens impressed me in every way, from sharpness to design, and its fast f/4.0 maximum aperture is good even in low light. In this review, I’ll go through my full experience with the Olympus 300mm f/4.0 IS PRO and give you my recommendations if you’re considering this lens.
