I'm impressed by the results this lens is giving. It's been out of stock within hours in the Netherlands from the launch till now. A few stores have it in stock now. So hopefully I will be getting one in the near future.
Amazing photos, great work Frank! I pulled the plug today and ordered the 100-400, I have to wait 2 weeks, but that is OK, I need it for the spring time critters. I use the Spider Holster system, and will have 1 EM1X with the 40-150 pro on one hip, and the other "X" will have the 100-400 on the other hip!
Great Review Frank, just cant wait for my on order unit to arrive, I am in Canada, Been on order with sizable deposit since last june and getting Irish impatient! Keep up the great work, and hope to get to say hello next time I am in Allentown ( formewr Mack Truck Employee)
Frank, long time m43 shooter here and also have a channel. I am curious any way to get a loaner copy of this lens with teleconverters? I shoot 800mm + and want to review a copy of this setup. People been asking me if I have used this lens, now way of knowing without spending some money to get it to me. USA based here.
I have owned both cameras & the G80 has the edge for image quality which is noticeable at higher ISO settings and low light. However the FZ300 is a great little all-rounder for wildlife photos & 4K video, especially with that constant F2.8 aperture thru the zoom range. Good to day trips when you want to travel light.
I think this video clearly shows what this lens can do when its in the hands of a wildlife photographer. Great video with some great shots.
Thanks much John!

I too am very impressed with it. You won't be disappointed...
With this lens, I just started a new wish list. Great closeup shots. Thanks.
Hey Ernest. Great to hear from you. Thanks so much for your comments!

Great photos and mini review. I always love your photos.
Greatly appreciated David!
@@ftaylorsmith I ended up pre-ordering the lens today.

Amazing. Great images and no waffle. Thanks for your efforts.
Much appreciated Stephen!
Outstanding! We love Olympus! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌞🌞
Thanks & I agree!
Thanks for the review Frank, thats very impressive!
My pleasure!
Looks a great value-for-money lens Frank. Those insect macro shots are impressive.
Thanks much!
Same experience. A great lens
Love the video, do you think this lens only does well in good light, with this aperture range?
Incredible photos!
Thanks buddy!
I love the micro 4/3's system! I have a EM1 Mark III with a few Pro lenes.
The best!
Great photos. Settings would be helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry now see settings!
Thanks much Glen!

Not sure at this time. As you probably know, they are going through some changes....
Is this the same video as presented in the "Olympus Demo" yesterday? If not how do I see a recording of yesterday's seminar. It won't let me in.
I'm not sure?
Hello, how much better would a panasonic g80 + olympus 100-400 image quality be compared to a panasonic fz300?
I have owned both cameras & the G80 has the edge for image quality which is noticeable at higher ISO settings and low light. However the FZ300 is a great little all-rounder for wildlife photos & 4K video, especially with that constant F2.8 aperture thru the zoom range. Good to day trips when you want to travel light.
It makes two of us👏
Nice footage, thanks
Also I'm using this lens.
Thanks! I hope you are enjoying it...
Did not use an extender with it?
I did not.
Beautiful pictures I’m excited about this lens thank you for sharing. Sub
Awesome, thank you!
I agree the 300mm F-4 is sharper. Waiting on 150-400 1.4 to see how it does.
Was that going to be 1.4? I thought it was 4 point something...
Frank, this lens or 300 pro? Trying to decide.
Tough question. The 300 is slightly sharper and faster. However, I really like the versatility of the zoom.
Sigma Lens with Oly branding to bring money to Olympus bevor sell the photographic part. Thats why there is no synch IS!!! What a shame!!!
Absolutely nonsense.
