Big results for little price
I don’t think there is a better bang for the buck lens out there for the G line of cameras. The image stabilization of this lens rivals that of my canon 100-300 and still has a very good picture for video all the way out to 300. It may not perform the best in low light but it gets the job done and doesn’t break the bank. The zoom is a little tight to start with but has softened up after use to look smooth enough for video. it feels a little lens heavy on the body so make sure you have a steady tripod for video and the gorilla pod won’t be very steady for zoom work. The lens shade is perfect sized and you can still use the lens caps without taking off the shade.Update jan 2018….This lens has produced some of the best long range animal footage I could have hoped for in such a small and light format. The video is crisp, clean and clear and auto focus works really fast. It produces great bokeh and the stabilization is on par or better than my big canon lenses. Totally impressed.

Great lens at a great price
Just arrived today, slapped it on and nabbed a bird pic right away. Image stabilization seems to work pretty well, even for low shutter speeds. Lens is heavier than other native Panasonic and it isnât a bad thing, feels good in a quality type of way.Amazing bokeh at any zoom level.Out of the box this lens is impressive and is delivering the type of images I had hoped for. Canât wait to put it to the test.

It’s a learning process but worth the money
I have had this lens for over a month and let me start by saying this, you will not find a better telephoto in this price range with the quality of this one. With that being said, you will not get sharp images right out of the box, allow me to explain.Most negative reviews on this product are due to user error. YOU HAVE TO TREAT THIS LENS LIKE A 600MM.Tips-USE A HIGH SHUTTER SPEED! 1/640 ( depending on your system) or more.-Practice, practice, practice.-Be patient, there is a strong learning curvePros-Lightweight-Sharp images when used correctly-Excellent image stabilization-Weather sealed-Solid Build QualityCons-Iffy low light performance-Autofocus tends to hunt a lot ( Biggest drawback in my opinion)-There is a learning curve-Not the fastest lens out there-Softer images at the long endOverall, if you’re looking to start wildlife, sport, etc photography without breaking the bank, this is hands down your best bet for lenses. Keep practicing and you’ll eventually master this thing!

GH7 Video shooter – great reach and with “CRz” it extends even further
We shoot a lot of pressers and events. I had been using a cheap $100 canon ef lens with a metabones adapter I had and it’s Ok, but not great. This lens, being a native lens really makes a difference in every category. The stabilization is excellent even at 300mm + CRz (effectively doubles zoom using 6k pixels for HD image) and color pops noticeably better. Image is a little soft but sharper than the Canon. For the price I paid, under 500, I’m pleased as it lets’ me shoot across any size room and has weather sealing which is all I was hoping for. the 70-200 was on my list but I opted for the 300 just to ensure it’s never an issue.It’s also crazy light, which is why most people have M43 to begin with.

Great lense and impressive image stabilization
I’ve been very satisfied with this lense. The image stabilization is exceptional. I’m able to take reasonable quality photos of the moon at 300mm holding the camera in my hands. Since its a 100-300mm micro 4/3, it’s not a great all around lense. It’s rare that I’m not swapping lenses often as even at 100mm, the field of view is narrow. If you want a quality lense for those long shots, this is a great choice. If looking for an all round lense, or to carry a single lense for that next vacation, the zoom on this one may be too much with a narrow field.

Lens that delivers
This is a great lens for the price. You can get some food range of focus and zoom. It is probably my main lens right now for all around shooting. Small enough to put in a small pouch but versatile enough to get a large variety of shots. I use it paired with my G9 and use it is all conditions without fear of it being ruined by a little dust or moisture.

High Quality Lens
10/10 for any photographer that uses Panasonic camera. Setup and ease of use is perfect. Zoom range is phenomenal. Weight is great. Functionality is perfect for that amazing picture. I use it for photographing nature and animals. Everyone loves the photos I take!

Great lens with expected limitations
Great lens but does have some limitations. It is not a particularly fast lens so it can be difficult to get the shutter speeds you need unless you are out in the middle of day. Sharpness was better than I expected but does experience some drop off as you approach 300mm. The power optical IS in conjunction with the body IS of my G85 helps with some of the lens’ shortcoming. This won’t help you if you are shooting birds or anything else that moves a lot but it certainly makes up for the slow apertures when shooting a still subject. This was the main reason why I chose the 2nd version over the 1st version. Build quality is good as this lens doesn’t have that light plasticy feel that a lot of Panasonic lenses do. Overall I am very pleased with this lens for price and being able to have a 600mm equivalent at that price point is one of the reasons that I chose micro 4/3 to begin with.

Buen lente para tomas de lejos y si no le importa que sea algo oscuro las tomas a 300mm pero lo uso en una cámara de video asà que todo va bien

I bought this for my Olympus e-M1 iii as it is weather sealed and the Power OIS (lens stabilized). Longer lenses benefit more from lens OIS and when Iâm shooting at 300mm and using the digital teleconverter it makes a difference over using the IBIS in the camera.Iâm very impressed with the bokeh. And autofocus is lightning fast.Only downside is the zoom ring is stiff and of course zooms in the opposite direction of Olympus lenses.And it is quite heavy, but when I see these giant monster FF 600mm lenses I go yup, no regrets sticking with micro four thirds.Right now in my tiny sling bag I carryOlympus 17mm 1.8Olympus 60mm macroOlympus 12-40 f2.8 ProPanasonic Leica Summilux 9mmPanasonic 35-100 f2.8Panasonic 100-300 iiE-M1 mark iii bodyE-M10 mark ii bodyAccessoriesAmazing!

Well i’ve always wanted a telephoto lens and this worked really well for me. Small weight, very good stabilisation. Very good sharpness. And has fast aperture at the far end. The biggest pro’s are weight and size.

Quando fotografavo a pellicola, sono sempre stato negato nell’uso dei teleobiettivi.Scattando a 100 iso, senza stabilizzatore, sia con il 200mm che con il 300, a mano libera (ottiche poco luminose, altrimenti avrei dovuto accendere un mutuo e comprare un furgone solo per i teleobiettivi), le mie foto erano sempre affette da micromosso, o da una leggera sfocatura, anche scattando con tempi, teoricamente, di sicurezza.Da quando sono entrato, dopo anni di letargo, nel sistema Micro 4/3 Lumix, mi si è aperto un mondo tutto nuovo e meraviglioso.Dopo aver preso la mano col 45-150, che equivale ad un 90-300 nel pieno formato, non ho resistito, e ho ordinato il Lumix Vario 100-300 II f/4-5.6Avere un 600 mm f/5.6 era un sogno proibito da sempre. Il fattore di crop, o di moltiplicazione, degli obiettivi micro 4/3 è di 2x, quindi questo obiettivo equivale a dei cannoni giganteschi nel formato pieno o anche in Aps-c.Qui abbiamo un obiettivo delle dimensioni di una lattina di coca cola, che sta quasi in tasca, e questo è il primo, enorme vantaggio.Il secondo vantaggio è il prezzo: con 600 euro o poco più, ci si porta a casa un 200-600 equivalente, dalla luminosità nemmeno scandalosa.Esiste uno Zuiko 75-300 e costa anche un po’ meno, ma a 300 mm è un f/6.7, cioè quasi uno stop in meno, e non è stabilizzato!Il terzo, enorme vantaggio, si chiama Power O.I.S. : questo obiettivo è dotato del sisrema di stabilizzazione interna più evoluto di casa Panasonic. Esiste una versione precedente, dotata di Mega O.I.S. Meglio prendere questa, la versione II, molto più efficace.Montato sulla mia G90, ho una doppia stabilizzazione ottica!Infatti sono riuscito finalmente a scattare a 600 mm, foto che mai avrei pensato di poter fare.La resa ottica di questa lente non è la più tagliente dell’universo, ma si difende bene.Sinceramente, la nitidezza delle foto, mi è sembrata più che valida, anche a tutta apertura. Per le esigenze di un fotoamatore, non mi posso lamentare.Anche la velocità di messa a fuoco è più che sifficiente. Non sono un fotografo sportivo, uso questo obiettivo per fotografare animaletti e persone. Inserendo il tracking sulla mia G90, sono riuscito a seguire i germani in acqua anche quando passavano dietro le foglie, senza che la macchina perdesse il fuoco (merito della macchina) e con una risposta dell’obiettivo sempre molto veloce. Non so se si comporterà in modo valido anche con soggetti più veloci, ma per ora sono soddisfatto.L’obiettivo è realizzato interamente in policarbonato. Non ha giochi e le ghiere scorrono in modo fluido. La ghiera dello zoom è rivestita in gomma.C’è un interruttore sul barilotto per escludere lo stabilizzatore. Non ne comprendo appieno l’utilità , dato che è facile operare direttamente dal corpo macchina, almeno sulla G90, ma penso lo abbiano inserito per risparmiare batteria, e per corpi macchina in cui occorre accedere al menù per comandare la stabilizzazione, con maggiore perdita di tempo.In dotazione c’è un paraluce con innesto a baionetta e una custodia morbida.Ho ordinato questo obiettivo da Amazon UK perché su Amazon EU è quasi sempre esaurito.Esperienza tragica. Dopo il brexit, ordinare da UK è diventato un calvario. Prima di riceverlo ho dovuto fornire a Ups altri dati aggiuntivi, fotocopie dei documenti ecc. E il tracking non è stato quasi mai aggiornato.Se potete, prendetelo da amazon EU, costa anche qualcosa in meno.
