Owners reviews (4)
Overall
Owner since: 2 years
Price: US$330
User profile: Semipro
Cons: I found it to go a bit soft at the far end, even stopped down and eventually replaced it with the bigger, heavier and much more costly PL DG 100-400mm.
Pros: Quite compact and not very heavy, very decent image quality. The construction of the plastic body is good.
Summary: Great range for a modest price if you want to experiment with telephoto without breaking the bank. Replace it if you outgrow it.

Cons: none
Pros: A 200-600 zoom f4-5.6 would cost you thousands in full frame format. come on dslr owners, wake up!
Summary: Fantastic value for sports and wildlife enthusiasts.

Cons: On a small mft body it's a bit of a mismatch
Pros: Stunningly sharp even at f5.6 IF you provide proper stability Superb solid build and balance Instant focus on newer Panasonic bodies (like the G3)
Summary: I was skeptical about whether or not this lens could provide seriously sharp images. Indeed handheld the number of keepers can be limited, but adding a monopod or a tripod increases those keepers to near 90+ percent. It is well balanced in the hand and provides a very reassuring feel of confidence in the build. As long as you get a good copy you can render some tack sharp images with excellent bokeh.

Cons: Considering its price, size and weigh it is not fare to be expecting more from this lens, but ill point some of the things i dont like. Autofocus scans a little in low light situations. Sligtly soft at 300mm under f8 but very usable.
Pros: Haveing IOS on a 100-300 (200-600) and in this small size and light weigh is a serious technology achievemnt. Nice bouquet at 300, looks like a pro lens considering its price diferences.
Summary: I also owe a 7d/ 100-400 but this combo, G2 and this lens go everywhere. A sample taken at 100mts away, handheld 1/400s f/9.0 at 300.0mm iso160. 1/400s f/9.0 at 300.0mm iso160 http://www.pbase.com/sergio/image/133704951 Quality is on paralell with price, but in this case quality is over price. You will love this lens, period. more samples: http://www.pbase.com/sergio/image/135483907 http://www.pbase.com/sergio/image/135535398 http://www.pbase.com/sergio/image/135489621 http://www.pbase.com/sergio/image/134300464
