Fantastic
I end up having my most stunning images with this lens. Whether it is a wild animal, the full moon or a portrait, I end up with incredible results and a nice depth of field. I don't know how, but the objects in this image are much more detailed and real than using a 12-35mm Panasonic.

Bargain wildlife zoom!
I bought this to use with a GH2 (and now G5 as well) for wildlife. It has an equivalent field of view to a 200-600mm lens in "full frame" terms and as a result is a very versatile addition to my kit.The AF is fast, completely internal (no rotating bits on the outside) and very quiet.
Pros:
- Durable
- Excellent Stabiliser
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Quiet Af
- Simple Controls
Cons:
- Hunts At Lower Contrast

Great range but beware of dim light
Focal lengthThe focal range is really amazing: 200 to 600mm equivalent in 35mm-film terms.
Pros:
- Relatively small/light for what it would be in 35mm film equivalent
- fast autofocus
Cons:
- Need to stop down as you approach the 300mm end to boost sharpness
- weak OIS

Good and Bad
For years, I've used a Nikon D300 with a Sigma 120-400mm f4.5-5.6 APO DG OS HSM to cover the 180-600mm range and that combo is unbearably heavy and the Sigma lens is a bit of a dog, it takes crackingly sharp pictures at f11/f13 but it's undesirably soft wide open and it hunts around awful with many...

Great lens for m4/3 users!
I use this on my new Olympus PEN-F. Awesome optical performance! Sharp and contrasty images even at 300 mm. Great price for the performance. A plain Jane lens in the looks department. The zoom ring is not as smooth as I would like.

This super-telephoto zoom from Panasonic covers a range equivalent to a 200-600mm lens on a 35mm camera, focuses internally, includes optical image stabilisation and costs around £460.

Panasonic LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 MEGA O.I.S.
At the 100mm end of the zoom range, the lens has a diagonal angle of view of 12°, equivalent to that of a 200mm lens in a 35mm system.
