Pros: light, sharp, quick, a game changer

Cons: price

Opinion: a fantastic lens ! the combination with the new cameras makes a completely new experience possible, most of the tome you can do pictures handheld, and for the rest you do not need a heavy tripod. what astonishes me most is that I get pictures with the system that are better then before with full frame and lenses whiting 3x times more and costing 2x more- I changed to Olympus because the best camera - lens si the system you have with you, or you can carry, and for a very practical experience when Nikon charge me over 700€ for a service on a 200-400 F4 lens I used all in all just 3 times and in good conditions- I do not regret.

Pros: Lightness, I use it in any weather conditions! A great lens that always allows you to go further without any problems!

Cons: No cons

Opinion: A very versatile and portable lens, every time I use it I am always amazed by the result obtained! I hope to make even better use of it in the near future with the portable shed I got ! It always allows me to be on the scene even at certain distances! The focus is really fast ! It wasn't easy to find a backpack worthy of accommodating her, because of the amount of lenses I have! Now with the trolley with the rubber wheels I should move much more easily!

Pros: AF quality and performance, constant aperture up to maximum focal length, well-balanced weight, minimum maf distance, construction and ergonomics, of course the built-in tc at click rate, smooth zoom ring, internal zoom

Cons: At the moment I don't have any aspects to report

Opinion: A zoom of excellent quality both for its workmanship and for the performance it offers, the undisputed performance of a 300pro (which I have used for 4 years and I know very well) but at all focal lengths even with the 1.25x inserted reaching 500mm it loses practically nothing, compared to the 300 the blur is more pleasant even if it is more closed than an f 0.5, It is undeniable that at the first outings the difference of a few pounds of weight is felt but it is still well balanced and well manageable freehand, then it repays the fact that you are no longer bound to take off and put some TCs (I bit my hands for missed shots more than once) or sometimes compositions that are necessarily too tight. I also wanted to try it with the tc 1.4x on posed subjects and in good light and the result is satisfactory but it becomes really difficult to use in pursuit or flight, I still believe that at important distances (we are at 700mm with a 2x sensor) factors come into play (humidity, dust, fine, heat mists) that recommend its use for documentary photos and / or where quality is not a priority.

Pros: Excellent construction - Small footprint and weight - Excellent freehand portability - Economical compared to the top of the range f/4 full frame - Wide focal length (from 300 to 1000mm) - Excellent yield with the addition of 1.4x and 2x teleconverters - Adjustment of the tripod bracket to predefined positions - AF point storage - Excellent stabilization at low ISO

Cons: Rubber stiffness to the touch on the focal length ring

Opinion: I have been using the 150-400 for about six months combined with the new OM-1. The optics proved to be of the highest level, both constructive (splash-proof) and photographic. A lens with a low weight and size that offers the nature photographer the possibility to range from 150mm up to 500mm with the use of the built-in 1.25 teleconverter. Practically it is like being on the full frame from 300mm to 800mm remaining with an f/4.5 aperture reaching 1,000mm at f/5.6. Very bright optics that allow you to photograph up to 1,000mm at all hours of the day (from sunrise to dusk). I use it mainly handheld (with an OM-1 you get to 2.3Kg) and I do not accuse fatigue problems as was the case before with the Nikon f/4 canvases that exceeded 4.5Kg with the mirrorless Z. Making a comparison with the new supertele f / 4 full frame the M.Zuiko 150-400mm I also see it "cheap" costs 50% less than a 600 f / 4 Nikon, Canon or Sony and the yield is equal if not higher. Using the 1.4x and 2x teleconverters the 150-400 behaves impeccably reaching up to 2,000mm with a very responsive AF and a very good image quality, which was not the case with the 200-400 f/4 Nikon that I had when I used it with the 1.4x Nikon on a Z6 or Z7. Convenient adjustment of the tripod bracket snap, or turning it is immediately the default position. The stabilization is also very good, if used handheld at low ISO (250-400) with open apertures the image is perfectly sharp rich in details with beautiful colors. On the lens there are buttons and controls for adjusting the distance or for memorizing the focus point. I did not find negative notes although a note on the type of rubber used on the focal ring, in my opinion a bit too rigid to the touch. Vote 10 laude!

Pros: Obviously the weight but sharpness, construction, color rendering

Cons: I have no negative aspects to report !

Opinion: for 2 months I own this jewel and I must say that I have never tried anything similar even if initially I was hesitant (especially after the sale of Olympus to OM ) I am really happy to have made this step naturally imicro4/3 is not the Ful Frame but x the nature photo is certainly not a big problem the 150/400 allows you to approach any type of fauna and with indiscretion you transport it close is not little! The sharpness is spectacular is certainly not my first supertele I went from 500f4 Canon from Sigma and then sony with the excellent 200/600 but there is confronto.il price although it is adequate for the prestazini without a doubt The only real supertele for itinerant hunting is Olympus zuiko 150/400 f 4.5 Also I have never tried a lens that really does not suffer with a multiplier even the Nikon 600 fl vr tried a little while ago well with 1.4 olympus comparing dozens of shots I did not find loss of quality
