    4 Stars
    Even with the Power O.I.S. and IBIS you still need good light to get good pictures
    For the money its probably the best mid-range Tele-zoom for m4/3. However I was expecting more from the dual O.i.S and IBIS on my Panasonic G9. I still find in lower light, overcast conditions you can only hit about 30% of the shots handheld. Still better than other alternatives I've tried and you can't knock the weight and compact size. When it does nail the focus it is very sharp though.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great lense and impressive image stabilization
    Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2023
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's a learning process but worth the money
    Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020
    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 curve

    Pros
    -Lightweight
    -Sharp images when used correctly
    -Excellent image stabilization
    -Weather sealed
    -Solid Build Quality

    Cons
    -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 end

    Overall, 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!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Super Funnest Lens Ever in History of the Universe
    Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2018
    This lens is quite fun. I pair it with my [[ASIN:B00O2TIBOC Panasonic GM5]]. As with any modern camera and lens, the resulting image files are high quality. To a large extent (imo), the results depend upon the individual behind the camera.

    This lens works well for lunar photography. Also, great for small animals. However, for very small birds, such as hummingbirds, best results will be at ~10 feet or less. Otherwise, the photo will require an excessive crop in post production. Note, the hummingbird video I uploaded to Amazon isn't displaying the full resolution of the original file. I uploaded it to YouTube for a better viewing experience.

    The plastic body feels solid. A small nitpick is the telescoping zoom. I would prefer an internal zoom mechanism. Between shots, I sometimes inadvertently press on the end of the lens while it is zoomed out. This pushes the lens in, and ruins my focus. Ooops! A constant aperture would also be great, but I understand these features would make the lens bigger, heavier, and more expensive.

    Big props to Panasonic for including the hood! It is very much appreciated. Hear that Canon? None of this hood-sold-separately for $40 nonsense.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Lumix G Vario 100-300mm F4.0-5.6II. Love it!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2023
    I am not a long lens photographer, nor a wildlife photographer. I am more of a 28mm or 35mm equivalent prime lens photographer. However, here lately at home in Arizona, I have been noticing quite a few hawks throughout our town the past couple of weeks and I did not have the reach with the lens I had on hand. I then decided to invest in the ‘Lumix G Vario 100-300mm F4.0-5.6II’ for my Lumix DC-G9. Though the lens is a bit of a learning curve on my camera, with my style of photographing (I try to minimize the use of a tripod), I am pleased with the results of the lens. If you are in the market for a long lens, for your Lumix camera, purchase it and have fun.

    Als selbstständiger Kameramann und Fotograf hatte ich Ende 2022 den Auftrag Süd-Afrikas wilden Tiere in verschiedenen Wildparks zu drehen. Natürlich wollte ich bei dieser großartigen Gelegenheit auch fotografieren.
    Da ich gleichzeitig mit einer großen Bewegtbildkamera und einem digitalen Fotoapparat in einem räumlich begrenzten Jeep hantieren mußte, entschloss ich mich die Panasonic GH5 für die Fotos einzusetzen. Zusammen mit dem Panasonic MFT Zoomobjektiv 100-300 mm. Die GH5 in Kombination mit diesem Objektiv ist sehr klein, leicht und handlich. Und trotzdem hatte ich den enormen Brennweitenbereich zur Verfügung, der auf Vollformat gerechnet satte 200-600 mm ergibt. Ich fühlte mich bestens ausgestattet, hatte jedoch angesichts des sich mit mir im Jeep befindlichen anderen Fotografen mit seiner Sony A9 Vollformat Kamera und einem riesigen FE 200–600 mm F5,6–6,3 G OSS Zoomobjektiv Bedenken, ob ich mit meiner Kombination da mithalten könnte.
    Beim Sichten meiner Fotos kam dann Begeisterung auf über knackscharfe, kontrastreiche Fotos, die keinen Vergleich zu scheuen brauchten. Der Leopard auf dem Baum mit seiner Beute -atemberaubend. Der Löwe mit nachdenklichem Blick direkt in meine Kamera guckend, formatfüllend, jedes Härchen brilliant zu sehen. Das Babykrokodil in zwanzig Metern Entfernung, formatfüllend.
    Der zornige Leopard im Grass liegend, formatfüllend und mit hoher Bildauflösung.

    Mein Fazit:
    Die Optik ist für eine Safari bestens geeignet und braucht sich hinter seinen mehr als drei mal so teuren Objektiv Kollegen aus dem Vollformat Segment nicht zu verstecken.
    Dazu kommt, dass das Objektiv sehr leicht ist und daher ohne Schlepperei immer, auf jedem Ausflug, mitgenommen werden kann.
    Natürlich ist es nicht besonders lichtstark und daher eindeutig ein Schönwetterobjektiv.
    Bei dem sehr teligen Brennweitenbereich muss sich jeder auch überlegen, für welchen Einsatzbereich er sich das Objektiv zulegt. Insbesondere für die Tierfotografie draußen ist es jedenfalls eine Überlegung wert. Und bei dem Preis kann mann nicht soviel verkehrt machen.

    Great sharp lens that is small enough to throw in a bag and not worry about the weight. With the focal range of 600mm equivalent for the price, it’s a definite win.
