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

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Verdict

Although £460 may seem a little expensive for a 100-300mm lens, if you think of it in comparison to a 600mm lens for a 35mm camera, it suddenly seems like better value, and should be a popular choice for wildlife shooters who own a Micro-Four Thirds camera.

The performance of the lens is good too. Although it isn't the highest performing lens Panasonic make, it is certainly adequate, producing sharp contrasty images.
The Panasonic 100-300mm lens offers good value and would make a good choice for wildlife shooters.

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Pros

Good build quality
Good sharpness in the centre at all focal lengths and apertures
Good sharpness towards the edges when stopped down
Lightweight for a lens providing an angle of view equivalent to a 600mm lens on a 35mm camera

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Cons

Focusing could be faster
Could be sharper towards the edges at maximum aperture
