Opinion:Practically it is a telephoto as God Commands. Perfect in every part, better than the various Nikons I have owned of the same characteristics (Nikkor Af-S 70-200 f2.8 VR I and VR II and AF-S80-200 f2.8 ). Having said that, one thing I really like is the fact that it has a lens hood that closes on the lens, like the old Nikon (Af-S 300 f4 ED), practical that reduces the size of the lens: it becomes as big as an 18-300 and fits in a bag. I mount it on Em1X and Em1?: lightning-fast AF and mind-blowing sharpness. Great for sports and photo hunting. High performance also on Panasonic G9 for portrait. Comfortable and easy to use even with Panasonic GX9: if you disassemble or keep the lens hood contracted it becomes excellent for street and children's photos.
Opinion:It's the natural "continuation" of the 12-40 2.8 Pro, and therefore I can refer to what I wrote about that lens, because with this other one the things to say are the same. Impeccable in every situation, practically free of defects. Is it "old"? Well, what does it matter? However, he is still at the top now. Isn't it stabilized? The OM-1 or similar machines of the house take care of it; You can also shoot handheld in the evening without any problems, if you want. Can't the lens hood be mounted upside down? Come on, let's find some serious "cons" (if there are any). There is one that more than a "con" is a characteristic of the optics: the Bokeh is not the best. But it still does its job, and it doesn't seem to me that it can affect too much in an evaluation of such a lens. Those who want a "perfect" bokeh (which is very subjective) can go for other lenses, or directly on a system other than the M4/3. However, I vote on 10 laude andante, as far as I'm concerned.
Cons:Weight and dimensions - Lens hood does not mount backwards
Opinion:From a qualitative point of view, there is very little to discuss: this lens is simply a guarantee. Excellent sharpness throughout the focal range, fast and precise autofocus, clean and natural color rendition, without visible aberrations or annoying distortions. It is an ideal companion for those looking for professional performance in all conditions. That said, it must also be said that it is NOT a lens to always carry with you lightly. Weight and size make themselves felt, especially if you are not exclusively photographing sports or wildlife. For travel, street or light hiking photography, it is challenging. In addition, the lens hood cannot be mounted upside down, so in the backpack if you do not disassemble the hood it is really bulky. Personally, I consider this an exceptional goal, but one that must be chosen consciously. I eventually switched to the younger brother f/4.
Opinion:A few months ago in the micro 4/3 world I bought this lens coupled with an OM1. The mere fact that it's an 80 300 2.8 certainly makes it exceptionally versatile considering the weight makes it nothing short of fantastic. (I have a Z8 a 300 2.8.. heavy material I have!!) Here you get to the end of the day and you can work freehand without feeling tired, etc. A few days ago I coupled the lens to a mc 20 (2x) multiplier. Incredible to note that it loses very little in sharpness; I'd say it's better with the 2x than with the 1.4x. Excellent color rendering if used with the OM1 (with other models I don't know). No problem in the rain and snow. After 30 years of photography, optics, etc., I have to say that currently this gem is the best lens I have ever had, also considering the really low cost.
Opinion:Construction, balance, compactness in relation to characteristics, weight, pleasure of use, does not extend zooming, constant brightness. Versatility with the two multipliers. Yes, even the hood, only a bit bulky but protective even when closed. Made smooth and also with both multipliers. With MC 14 it reaches over 400mm equivalent with f4 brightness. With the mc20 it loses some contrast at full aperture but already at f6.3 at 300mm (600 eq) it is very good. The af seems very good to me and also holds up well the duplicator. Very close focus is an added advantage. Honestly I find no faults, not even the price, at least in relative terms
