I did not rush to buy the new OM-1 M2 as the spec was not very exciting, but once the price dropped by about £450 I did.

The only hope was that the AF would be better than the previous model. No other feature on the camera interested me.

What I needed to test it was the rain to stop and to be in a place where lots of birds were flying around and I could spend some hours taking thousands of images. That took a while to happen, but finally I had a dry sunny spell during the Lapwings arial display. The Lapwing is a challanging species to photograph displaying. They are fast and eratic. Just what I needed!
