Pros: Lightning fast autofocus. Sharp! Very well built.

Cons: Care must be taken with busy backgrounds as the bokeh is not all that nice, the price you pay for the incredible sharpness of this lens.

Opinion: After over two years of using a Canon 400/5.6 and a Metabones Smart Adapter on my Olympus E-M1 (I and II), I finally broke down and bought this lens. I was always quite happy with the image quality of the Canon, but at 73 I was getting tired of the relatively slow (but VERY accurate) AF (phase detect only) and the difficulties I was having with the Mark II with pin point focus in busy situations, like small birds in the tree branches. The 300/4 Pro is brilliant, both in build and image quality. The combined IS on the Mark II is amazing. The AF is amazing. The resolution is amazing.... in fact, I get sharper images with less CA/fringing at 420mm with the MC-14 attached than I did with the Canon at 400mm. The only slight drawback is the bokeh which tends to be a little busy, but it is manageable and well worth the gains in sharpness. In a word, I LOVE it!

Pros: Optical quality at the level of the best fixed; build quality; minimum distance of MAF which makes it almost a Macro; tropicalization; collapsible ring passing to MF; presence of a Function button (Fn) on the body; multiplied by 1.4 to maintain a good image quality. Collar supplied with arca swiss style. Weight.

Cons: nothing

Opinion: Great Lense.................................................. I am coming from CANON full frame and i'm very glad to have switched to micro 4/3. With this lense i have a 600 mm F4 with 1270 g. and a very very beautiful image quality. The stabilisation is incredible. With hands with 1/60 sec it's great. The image quality with TC1.4x is perfect.

Pros: Sharpness, easy handling, autofocus, overall quality, colors, contrast.

Cons: Bokeh in certain situations, but it's not that relevant.

Opinion: It is my first fixed super-telephoto and from the first field test you can perceive the extreme general quality, the extraordinary sharpness (already looking into the viewfinder of the camera) and responsiveness. It is addictive, exceptional results. I was worried about having less versatility being a fixed lens but every time I bring it with me some satisfactory/excellent results I bring it home, and I would never go back to 100/400.

Pros: Great optics, everything

Cons: Don't have it, lens hood jamming

Opinion: For now the best optics combined with om-1 for micro 4/3 that I have had. It never disappoints except with heavy or very humid bad weather where it tends to knead a little but in normal conditions (even in low light) it really makes a lot, a blade in the details and a gem. I use it daily and I mistreat it and stress it in all its forms and it has never disappointed me yet... Even with the 1.4x it works great, for fast birdlife being a fixed I found that with the viewfinder as an accessory I can use it in practically all situations even the most hectic What can I say, pure love :)

Pros: Quality.... Image... focus....

Cons: Lens hood... weight... don't have it....

Opinion: Amazing lens.... Give spectacular images.... For me a ... if not the most beautiful Zuiko lens.... Maybe after the new 150-400 f4.5....but to try ... So much substance... Blurred a bit strong .... hood comfortable but delicate .... I must say that I immediately fell in love with this lens Do not try it ...... otherwise....
