Panasonic G5 - Panasonic 100-300 f4-5.6

Panasonic G5 - Panasonic 100-300 f4-5.6

On the same outing as yesterdays post I also took the Panasonic 100-300 f4-5.6 along to test on the G5. Normally I like using the Olympus mZD 75-300 because it's a little smaller and has a better feel to it than the Panasonic 100-300. Looking at the image quality from both, there is little difference and if you're looking for a 600mm equivalent lens for your m4/3 system, then you can safely choose between these two. I believe the Panasonic is cheaper as I'm writing this post but I find the build quality of the Olympus a little better. As a matter of interest Olympus have now brought out a second version of the 75-300, but I'm still very pleased with image quality from the original version and I'm not planning on upgrading. Not much point really because I don't use these lenses all that much, but it's nice to know that you've got that focal length when needed.

Olympus mZD 75-300 Shoots the Moon

Olympus mZD 75-300 Shoots the Moon

There's a lot of talk on different forums on the web that the Olympus mZD 75-300 is not sharp and the Panasonic 100-300 beats it hands down. I personally can't agree with this and as you can see, this image is quite sharp (even though it is quite small). I have found the images from both lenses to be very good.
BTW, this image was shot on an E-P2 handheld. The mood was particularly clear on this evening. I just couldn't help myself. Just like when some clouds come over. I have to get my camera out and capture them for eternity.

Olympus mFT 75-300 f4.8-6.7 ED lens

Olympus mFT 75-300 f4.8-6.7 ED lens

One of my first shots from this lens. It's smaller than the Panasonic 100-300 and feels very nice when zooming.
Focusing is smooth and the lens is very well made. Let's see what this lens can do against the Pana 100-300.

Panasonic 100-300 f4.0 - f5.6

Panasonic 100-300 f4.0 - f5.6

After deliberating between the Olympus mZD 75-300 and this one, the decision became easy when the Olympus was not in stock anywhere and the Panasonic was, so I purchased it. The lens coupled with the Panasonic G1 produced very sharp images as demonstrated here.
