Pros:Unique images, sharpness, weights and dimensions in relation to what it offers
Cons:Complicated assistance, in case of need it is easier to contact extraterrestrials on 51 Pegasi B rather than Panasonic/Fowa/Ltr ... luckily there are serious shops like FotoColombo and also FotoLandia and others that give you a hand
Opinion:It is a "stratospheric" lens, capable of portraying subjects in a unique way. the sharpness is at the top, it is not afraid of comparisons even with super telephoto lenses for FF that cost five times as much. The blurred is beautiful and distinctive. The autofocus is really fast and accurate, even on Olympus/OM bodies it performs better than Olympus PRO lenses. The stabilization is very good but I wouldn't say phenomenal. With the optical stabilization alone it is possible to go down to 1/50, in combination with that of the Panasonic cameras you gain an additional stop. Certainly the stabilization on Panasonic bodies is much better used than Olympus. The lens is quite compact and squat, it weighs a bit but nothing unbearable, you can use it without any problem all day handheld. The lens hood isn't really the best, it's a bit of a pain in the ass to have to assemble and disassemble it via a tiny screw. This 200 on the new G9ii could be a deadly weapon to roam through the woods up to very low light conditions, or even with the TCs mounted. Be very careful when updating the firmware and I recommend that you always buy it with a valid warranty and from reliable dealers, because unfortunately in case of repair you are crazy and you don't know how many spare parts you can find because it seems that Panasonic no longer produces this lens ..... I say apparently because to date I still haven't figured it out .... Panasonic mysteries... And it would be inconceivable, as well as a shame, because it is the flagship telephoto lens of the whole system.
Pros:Sharpness, excellent balance in the hand, rigid and metal hood, practically macro photos for the minimum focusing distance.
Cons:Small and uncomfortable hood screw.
Opinion:Excellent optics, a real Leica lens, I have owned it for some time and even with the original duplicator supplied with excellent results, bright colors, sharpness even at full impressive aperture, I can say that although I use it with Olympus machines I feel great and I have never encountered any problem, taken with some doubt I changed my mind immediately, for me it is definitely one of the most beautiful optics I have.

Pros:Brightness, weight, size, excellent sharpness from edge to edge.. Fantastic close ups thanks to the close focus distance. Concrete gain with 1.4x tc
Cons:Weigh-in... Give the best on Panasonic bodies
Opinion:It is a small jewel, it ranks at the top of the light canvases in the micro 4/3 field. It corresponds to a 400mm on ff sensor, but it is quite small and light, it is inside a pouch!!! The optical quality is admirable, very sharp from the center to the edges already at full opening... I used it on olympus m1II, and comparing it with telephoto lenses for good apsc or ff (canon 70-300 L / sony 70-300) with the same focal that is 266mm, the sharpness is very similar, but there is the huge advantage of brightness... that thanks also to the excellent machine/lens stabilization allows you to shoot relatively small iso (1600-3200) in very poor light conditions, such as sunrise and sunset, when with the traditional canvases for apsc and ff with opening f5, 6 if not 6.3, you are forced to climb even to 12800/16000 iso... with very bad results. The construction is "old style", with screw plastic lampshed, personally it does not drive me aesthetically crazy... To make us serious photographic hunting is too short, so it must be combined with a longer lens.. Autofocus: probably because I use it with the olympus m1II, the precision of autofocus leaves something to be desired... I can't tell if it's just the car's fault. Update: on gx9 : slow machine communication seems to me much better.... such as autofocus and stabilization. Tried with the tc 1.4x, it holds it great, you can only notice a slight drop in sharpness at the extreme edges, and it really comes very close to the yield of the 300 Pro, but it remains a thread below, really little anyway ... Even with tc offers the best already at full opening
Pros:An excellent optics from all points of view: construction, autofocus, optical quality
Cons:All the limits of the fixed optics with respect to the zoom as to flexibility
Opinion:Exceptional lens in terms of build quality and performance, a perfect contrast on the entire frame already at F2,8 with all the features typical of a professional tele at the constructive level. To say exceeds in my opinion the 70-200 F2,8 is II of Canon both at the level of construction and optical quality. A product maybe a little too expensive where they could to sell it better to put even the Teleconverter 2x in addition to the already present 1.4. For the size that covers maybe F2,8 is not bright and an F2 at that price could have been there.
