    Cons: Very hard to find anything bad about this lens.

    Pros: Sharp as h... and not too heavy either. The balance with the em-1x is perfect. Sturdy built, AF is fast and precise. IS helps greately when light fades

    Summary: If you can\'t (won\'t) afford the 150-400mm/f4.5 PRO, this is a very fine alternative for a wildlife photographer.

    Cons: Too short focus throw on MF clutch. MF is only usable in classic FBW mode. No tripod foot in standard bundle. Integrated lens hood. (was it that hard to make a classic bayonet hood?) Strange IS performance at high shutter speeds (1/1000s) in electronic shutter mode.

    Pros: Everything else. The optics, the balance, the stabilization, the sealing and build quality.

    Summary: Truly an unmatched tool for wildlife photographers.

    Cons: On the heavy side, but 600 mm on a Nikon is heavier

    Pros: everything. sharp, image quality, handling , looks ( just love the design) waterproof, silent.

    Summary: Fantastic lens If you are willing to spend the money and need the longer reach ,buy it
