I'm traveling to Africa, and considering an OM-D E-M10 plus the 14-150 & 75-300 lenses. Will the M10 AF-C work for me on safari?

Yes I think this is the perfect traveling camera because of its small size and light weight. The lens that you selected would be perfect for a safari.

Not sure, my OMD E-M10 seems to have trouble with autofocus in certain conditions, most of the time it work well, but in low contrast conditions it struggles. It only has contrast focusing, no phase focusing. If I were going to spend the money to go to Africa I might consider the next level, the OMD E-M1. I know twice as much money, but it has a better auto focus system, and is weather sealed.

The autofocus works very fast, accurate and it is easy to quickly select the focus point. To get the best results you should select the smallest focus point and change the release lag time to short. The auto-focus tracking is not as good as DSLR. I am not sure how it compares to comparably priced mirrorless like the sony a6000. It does 3.5 fps with continuous autofocus and 8 fps without continuous autofocus, its not bad, but not as fast as the EM-1 or A6000. The 75 - 300 is not fast on the long end f6.7mm. I think you will be fine, but the EM-1 or A6000 is probably a better choice for a Safari. The autofocus works very fast, accurate and it is easy to quickly select the focus point.

Hello, The OM-D E-M10 has exceptional auto focus. You should not have a problem shooting moving subjects or from a moving car. Matched with the lenses you are considering you should have a well functioning relatively compact camera system and you should not have any problem getting the shots you want. Thank you, Mason Roset OC Camera

works SUPERBLY on the OMD-M1 ... you do need the Olympus 4/3 to m4/3 adapter for autofocus... and the SWC lens focuses FAST !!!!

I have only shot it with the 14-35 f/2 and it was VERTY fast to AF even in indoor conditions. It is much much faster than the E-M5 from what I hear. Maybe not as fast as the E-5 but the 14-35 was plenty fast for me. I can not comment on other lenses as I have not tried them, and probably will not be as A: I am not a fan of large lenses and B: I can not afford to buy them all to test them :)

The Rogue Safari DSLR does not work with any connections to the camera. It merely attaches to the hot shoes and magnifies the flash from the pop-up flash on the camera. It is made of plastic. It works quite good. I used it in darkness and got a very good photo of some moose that were eating my trees. Please note, the Rogue Safari works best using at least a 100mm lens or zoom. Another person in the answers portion has listed a link. There it will describe how the Rogue Safari works. I am very impressed with it.

These extension tubes should work fully with all micro four thirds cameras. My experience with the Olympus E-M1 is that it performs as claimed. Auto-focus worked fine. There is no reason not to expect it to perform well on your E-M10.

I shot the 12-60 on the E-620. The E-620, in size, is larger than the e-m10 however, I think the difference in construction makes the e-m10 heavier. I'd say that the 12-60 on the e-m10 would be a better balanced combination than with the E-620, although with the added length from the adapter for the m43, I'd cradle the lens regardless. In my opinion, it's a nice piece of glass worth any slight inconvenience from weight or size. Hope that helps.

I have a Speedbooster that I use with my Nikon lenses, it is awesome. I also have a normal adapter to Micro 4/3, this essentially doubles my lens kit. It would most likely make your 105mm have the same field of view as a 75 or 80mm, plus a stop faster. here is a FAQ page on the Metabones site. http://www.metabones.com/article/of/faq Well worth the money, almost always on my camera.

Olympus and Panasonic developed the micro 4/3 system. Each manufactures brand of lens works on either body and certainly work on their own micro 4/3 bodies both the Pens and OM-Ds. So this lens will work on the e-m10.

The Rogue Safari should work on the D60. My son has the D80 and it works. This device is not a flash. It is an extender. It works great at night at about 100mm. I took some photos of the moose in my yard. I use a D7000. I like it. Hope this helps.

I faced the same dilemma and went through many sites (dpreview, thewirecutter, etc.) & YouTube videos (Tony Northrup, few others) before settling on the E-M10. I think the consensus was that the a6000 was slightly better image & feature-wise, but the Oly was smaller, cheaper, and most importantly had a far greater selection of lenses.

I have.never been on a safari. However,if I went on one I would not hesitate to take this along. It is light, easy to carry in your pack or even your shirt pocket. I would recommed it for any situation where you want a closeup view.

I ordered the lens for my OMD E-5. Before it arrived I discovered from my local Camera srore that for the E-5 it would require an adapter. I returned it as soon as I received it. However I now own the OMD E-1 and from what I have read on it, it has a dual focusing system that allows it to be used with micro 4/3 lenses as well as the older 4/3 lenses. Again this is from what I have read, not from direct experience.

No problem. I've traveled with Nikon D800 (full frame)with 14 24 and 28 300 and 50 plus sony nex-7 with several lenses plus chargers, filters, etc. Travels well and fits in ALL overhead luggage compartments....even on some pretty darn small planes. Sturdy and great wheels. Hope that helps.

I use my adapter with a OM 75-150 zoom. I don't think you would want to shoot wide open since there is no auto-stop down feature working here. My arrangement with my E-M5 works well, and I pick my desired aperture and there's no noticeable dimming in the electronic viewfinder. I hope this answers your question. Enjoy your picture taking!

You can use OM lenses on an EM-5 body with the use of an adapter which you can also find here in Amazon, but you must be aware that automatic focus and exposure will be disabled.

Yes it does. Being a macro lens and if long travel (eg min to max focus) it is not super fast.It is also quite slow on the EM5, but good on the EM2 and normal E-series DLSRs

I don't use the lens for video. I have seen no affect on my OM EM5 for still or sports photography.
