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

With an equivalent length of 600mm at the telephoto end, this lens is great for getting in close

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.

REVIEW: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom Lens
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.

Panasonic 100-300mm f/4-5.6 ASPH MEGA OIS LUMIX G VARIO review by PeteD
When I first tried this lens I was a little disappointed but as I've got used to it I've come to rate this little lens. Optics are very good. I would say it is a little short sighted it does a better job when objects are closer.
Pros:
- good optics in a small package
Cons:
- stabilisation doesn't work as well as Nikon's VR
