  | sent on 21 Settembre 2025 Pros: Excellent lens, in its price range in my opinion it is unbeatable, it offers high performance and also it is really a featherweight and goes almost unnoticed... These characteristics are unthinkable with equivalent focal lengths in other photographic systems Cons: Tripod bracket is not available Opinion: In my opinion it is an excellent lens with a high value for money. It offers excellent performance and is very comfortable to carry around, in the backpack it takes up little space and weighs very little. I am really very satisfied with the purchase and thinking about the various upgrades I think I will stay with him for a long time. Passed with flying colors |
 | sent on 18 Aprile 2025 Pros: overall mechanical quality higher than the economic range of the lens, excellent AF, excellent IS, very quiet, tropicalized, excellent size and weight for the equivalent focal length, optical quality within 10 meters of shooting. Cons: Optical quality above 10mt, absence of the AF limiter, so light as to forget that it is an equivalent 600 (just kidding!) Opinion: It is difficult to comment on this lens because it has many merits and only one big flaw: the sharpness above 10/15 MT. I bought it for birdlife for reasons of affordability: with distances around 10 meters, it does quite well and the image quality is very conditioned by the light conditions. At shorter distances (e.g. when shooting passerines) it even becomes very sharp almost like a pro lens, even at 300mm and wide open. When you exceed 15mt the images are less sharp, even with good light and the aperture at f8: this is my experience in the field with the sample in my possession. Now that we have removed the tooth, I can say with certainty that it is a very good lens in terms of construction, very solid, smooth and homogeneous zoom ring, very pleasant and precise MF ring (the best among the Panasonics I owned), also beautiful as an external finish. The stabilizer is excellent: on Em1, where the dual IS does not work, I give priority to the IS of the lens, with Em1 mk2 instead the ibis of the machine seems better to me. Considering the price of both new and used cars, the equivalent focal length, the portability, the result is a compromise perspective that is all in all very valid and very versatile to use on the road or in the mountains where more qualitative solutions impose greater weight and bulk. Another area in which it is pleasant to use is the street for stolen shots, the small size all in all makes you more discreet. I would have preferred it to be like the Lumix G 12-60 f3.5/5.6 that is sharp always and in any case, but it is obvious that with super telephoto you would need optical schemes that integrate something more than just one ED lens, which would have made this zoom very expensive. I recommend it provided that you are clear about the limits it imposes on you: for the use I make of it I sometimes felt a little limited in the final result. |
 | sent on 18 Marzo 2025 Pros: Excellent quality/price ratio - small size and weight - solid structure. Cons: No bracket for tripod mount. Opinion: It is a lens that is typically purchased to have something cheap, light and space-saving, to be used freehand outdoors, accepting the idea of having to sacrifice brightness and performance in favor of portability. With use, however, it turns out that practically nothing has been sacrificed: the image quality holds its own against lenses of similar focal length, more than double the price and almost triple the weight. The minimum focusing distance is enough to photograph butterflies and dragonflies (my favorite subject) in full frame with excellent definition. The construction is solid and accurate and the low price gives so much serenity in casual use on the field ... The stabilization is excellent, which makes you forget the absence of the tripod bracket. Absolutely recommended lens! |

 | sent on 10 Agosto 2023 Pros: Weight, size, price, equivalent focal length Cons: If used in view of its limitations nothing Opinion: I bought it without great expectations, given the cost (to say I paid 579 euros for a new 600mm is almost unbelievable). It is obviously an economic lens but not one that seems to disassemble just by looking at them. I tried it at home, just to make sure it worked, and then I left for Tanzania crossing my fingers. In good light conditions and with the warning not to use it at TA and maximum focal length (300), this lens is stunning. I took home hundreds of sharp shots with faithful colors. I am very satisfied with the result. |
  | sent on 01 Agosto 2023 Pros: In the m4/3 it is a 200-600, for transportability and focal range it is unattainable. Excellent sharpness. Cons: He accelerated AF so-so. Acceptable, but improvable. Opinion: Good optics. In birdlife or simply when you need a long optic is a must have in the m4/3 system. Of course there are better solutions (on paper) like the oly 100-400, but what you get is not worth the greater outlay. This objective is a good compromise. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get good results without weighing down the backpack and lightening the wallet too much. |
 | sent on 29 Gennaio 2023 Pros: Small size, very light for the focal length, stabilization, excellent overall yield, price. Cons: Frankly, I can't think of anything Opinion: I took this lens especially for birdlife, considering that at 300mm it is a 600 equivalent, and I am completely satisfied. It costs relatively little and has a very high yield even at 300. Of course it makes the best if a little closed, f.8 or f.11, but also at full opening it says its without particular problems. At the beginning I was not very convinced but after stressing it and learning to use it I am very satisfied, it is worth all the money it costs and even more. Advised. |
 | sent on 16 Aprile 2020 Pros: It has no competitors, so it's advantageous in every respect Cons: Nothing Opinion: Do you like to win easy? You could ask for this goal, which has no competitor. There is a Zuiko equivalent, but if you own a Lumix there is no reason to turn to him. It is handy and offers good results regardless of the price. It's almost unbelievable to carry a 100-300 telezoom with ease. It is also out of place to cause the low brightness to defect, practically 5.6. With digital that allows you to shoot at 800 iso quietly is not a problem, if you also consider double stabilization. Increasing the brightness would have made it grow exponentially and also the price would have relegated it to the purchases of "but do I really need ?". Probably the blurred will not be that of the ultraluminous, those who allow to have in focus an eye yes and one not, that characterize the artistic of the modern photographer (H.C. Besson and Berengo Gardin did not sleep there at night) and on the bohek or as cabbage you write I do not know what to say, since I more or less care how the study of the migration of beetles in southern China... But I also understand that de gustibus... |
 | sent on 16 Aprile 2020 Pros: Compactness, weight, chromatic rendering, good overall sharpness, dual is, price in relation to the focal excursion. Cons: Lack of maf limiter, slightly light lampshade, some purple fringing at 300mm (in the raw) where it also has a drop in physiological sharpness. Opinion: A view certainly of value in relation to the relationship between performance, however good and cost, size and weight all rather low. As far as I'm concerned, portability is the greatest value. I also really like the color rendering. In my opinion, it remains a lens that, taking into account the focal points of which it is capable and the weight it contains requires a conscious use, not very carefree. However the stabilization combined with the G9 if used with criterion is excellent, The construction is plastic but discreet. The lampshade in my opinion is built in a slightly too cheap way, probably the worst of those of the various optics that I have possessed, as a little too light and mounting it on the fly does not always the hooking takes place with confidence at the first shot. The Af seems decent to me if he is not asked about miracles. Overall, it is advisable if you are well aware of your needs. I did not try the older brother 100-400 but from what you see around it should be optically better but at a cost almost triple and at twice the weight (which in the long run could require a monopod), as well as vexed by some inconsistency such as the hardness of the zoom ring and the construction of the lampshade that for me remains a mystery. |
 | sent on 09 Ottobre 2019 Pros: Double stabilization with the bodies of the same brand, size and weight, tropicalization. Cons: Lack of a standard collar. Opinion: Taken in order to have a light and compact bike set-up, despite having better optics but much larger and heavier (in a relative sense for a m43 system, but always small and light in comparison to larger sizes); the optics go to marry perfectly with machines like the G9 but it was intended for use with the GX9 for the reasons above. Despite the dual IS requires a minimum of practice to be best used at the most pushed focal points, as the danger of movement is always around the corner. With times below the limits achievable with the double stabilizer, it would have been useful to provide a ring with attachment (possibly ark) for the tripod while instead you have to resort to the after market (I find only a product made by a German craftsman, however very expensive). I do not see it as a major flaw since the optics is born mainly for freehand use with a lot of light (which is then what I need, exits in MTB in broad daylight). For its scope of use therefore excellent, a full 9 I would say. |
 | sent on 13 Marzo 2018 Pros: Price, compactness and weight, tropicalization, sharpness, excellent stabilization with the dual is. Built with quality plastic and fluid ring on the entire excursion. Cons: I own it recently, for now no one. A focus limiter would be useful. Opinion: It is an excellent lens that can easily be carried in the high mountains without the need for a sherpa. Very clear up to 260mm, there is a drop in sharpness to 300mm, is comparable to that of the various lenses 150-600mm for full frame to f8, but remaining at f5.6. The autofocus is quite reactive even on a gx80, in the less contrasted conditions it is hard to hook but I fear depends on the camera, probably on a flagship will be great. Stabilization is excellent, but when you do photo shooting it is good to maintain high security times to avoid camera shake. At 600 mmeq I never get under 1/200, even if on the forum there are sharp shots with much slower times. I totally feel satisfied with the purchase. |
 | sent on 11 Novembre 2017 Pros: Solution, incisiveness, chromaticity, vignetting, chromatic rendering, weight, size, anti-dust, protected by splashing water, also works at low temperatures, hood, stabilizer, fluidity of the zoom ring Cons: Lack of zoom lock (but not a problem), it adds up Opinion: When you buy an optic like this I already know what you are looking for and want, so I do not go into surplus descriptions. "This product left me literally astonished because I did not expect great results and instead I was literally" shocked " If I think about the current market value I'm even more surprised and you'll forgive me if I let you say that in my nourished optic park this is the best (subjective opinion). rnWe're sorry, I found a great lens resolution, incisiveness and an incredibly natural and pasty bokeh despite the seven blades of the diaphragm. There is no noticeable presence of chromaticity that for charity will be there but cropping the picture I can not see in any way and no focal length.rnThe vignetting is limited.rnEasy to describe is the chromatic rendering can not be due to the obvious (visually) treatment of the lenses or to others but the colors are faithful and acc es, do not turn them on the heat upThe cold. The "bellows" of the zoom I remember being dust-proof, sketch-proof and able to work at low temperatures has a gentle, hard, soft, gentle manual excursion that does not allow for a casual ride during use transport (there is no manual zoom block, but it does not work in this case) .rnThe image stabilizer is incredibly efficient considering the focal length and is a delight to use it.rnThis optic is equipped with its indispensable hood, weight and size transmitting a feeling of "balance" and practicality. "I'm absolutely convinced that this lens will give many satisfaction to anyone looking for an optical product in this focal range. |
