Great work! Would you be able to test how autofocus continuous would work on EF Adapted lenses on the G9 II? Only if possible. I have purchased the g9 ii but I have not the budget to be able to spend on testing. I have heard the viltrox adapters work but I don't know how good. would be of great help.
Hi Pablo, most of the time you will get single autofocus with those adapters. I myself do not have any direct expierence using them. There are videos where people do test them. At the moment I am interchanging lenses from Olympus MFT on my G9II, as I also still have the OM-1, but this is not without flaws like loosing dual sync but also having freezes of the G9II when using the Olympus lenses (I need to remove the battery briefly when that happens). I just did return the 100-300mm lens as this was not a keeper (to much chromatic abberation). I got delivered the 100-400 Leica II lens today. I am considering selling all my Olympus gear (OM-1, 300 F4 Pro, 40-150 F2.8 Pro, 12-40 F2.8 Pro, 60 F2.8 Macro and both teleconverters). I am really disappointed with OM Systems because of the bad support concerning firmware. I will than invest either in more Pro Panasonic glass or eventually buy a Sony A7R 4 or A7R 5 with the 200-600 G-lens) as a second camera next to the G9II.
Most of the times it depends on a combination of being as close as possible, good lighting and the right settings. Most of the cheaper lenses have to be stopped down a bit to become sharper, this lens is sharper at f8. I returned the lens and got the 100-400 Leica lens. That one also needs to be stopped down in the range from 300-400. I use it primarily for video. On MFT at 300mm nothing can beat the sharpness of the Olympus 300 F4 prime lens. Next to that for stills I most of the time use AI Denoise (Lightroom and DXO Pure Raw).

How do you get such sharp images
? I have this on a g9 mki and do ok but struggle with nice sharp images. Thx.
