Pros: Construction, lightness, sharpness, stabilization
Cons: Non-smooth, non-multipliable zoom dial
Opinion: I've taken about 20,000 shots with this lens, so I know it well. Excellent, nothing to say, real Leica quality, very sharp, even at full opening. I want to clarify to those who say that in the woods goes into crisis .... Well, it's certainly not the optics but the Micro 4/3 system. Very handy, smaller and better than the equivalent Olympus, I highly recommend it to those who own Panasonic cameras, as the stabilization works together with the machine. You take pictures of static subjects at 800mm with a 50th, even less! Beautiful double hood, one of which is solid optics (metal!!), you will never forget it. Excellent flare resistance, don't be afraid to point it at the sun. Autofocus very fast and silent, in the description here on the site there is written not USM, I do not know what mounts but you do not hear anything, you can slightly hear the stabilizer but the autofocus no! The metal construction is a joy for the touch, really well done. On the other hand, a zoom ring a bit hard, unfortunately there is little, the narrow diameter does not allow adequate demultiplication and you have to live with it, you must always try to anticipate the shot so as not to suddenly zommare because you risk the blur and lose the subject. You can not mount the duplicator, the rear lens is flush with the barrel, but you really want to multiply an 800 6.3 on a micro 4/3 sensor???? Tropicalized optics that takes away stress if you take a few drops of water during the walk. Excellent in wandering hunting, only 1kg, but also in sheds where you go from one opening to another very quickly, which is impossible with zoom lenses for ff, you certainly make many more shots. Very well corrected also the aberrations, distortion and vignetting, slightly present at full opening, but easily correctable in post. The price is high, it does not fall, but this is also good for the maintenance of used in case of sale. I close by saying that in my opinion, it is the obligatory purchase of owners of the Panasonic G system, but also of Olympus as its 100-400 does not work together with the stabilizer of the machine, I do not know if they have corrected maybe with the new OM System. Summing up small, light, handy, top construction and high quality, highly recommended. |
