2014 telephoto test pictures (13 pictures)

I decided to have a shoot out between three cameras with the lens setup I would use for capturing the most distant shots. I shot with all of the cameras with shutter priority mode at 1/640 second, and auto ISO. All photos were shot hand held, and I took several photos, and selected the best of the lot. The large photos are straight from the camera with no post-processing.
The cameras used were:

Olympus E-5 with EC-14 tele-extender and Olympus 50-200mm lens (mark 1);
Olympus E-M5 with MM3 adapter and Olympus 70-300mm 4/3rds lens;
Stylus-1 with/without Tcon-17 tele-extender.
