Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.six OIS Ii REVIEW
32
After a year using the Lumix 100-300 2, it's time for a long term review. Reason I needed 1 twelvemonth to review this lens is, Information technology's the kickoff super telephoto lens I've used. And, afterwards using it for activeness/sports, BIF and wild animals, I now know this lens inside and out.
First the Common Stuff about this lens that can be found online:
one) As you know this 100-300mm lens is equivalent to a 200-600mm FF with the 2X ingather factor of MicroFourThirds cameras.
two) All the Specifications of the 100-300 II lens.
three) The difference between original version, and this new 100-300 version 2.
Next the Pros of this lens:
1) Great Value for what you become vs the other options out at that place.
2) Small, Light, and meaty for its huge reach.
3) With the new cameras like Lumix G9, the AF and DUAL IS work bang-up.
four) Paradigm quality is on par with high terminate super telephotos for nigh of its range.
v) Great option for 4K video, and static shots of moving objects.
half-dozen) durable plastic absorbs the bumps and bruises well, and information technology did well in the rain without whatsoever damage to the functioning of the lens.
The following is a video using this lens for wildlife:
The chief reason I got this lens was to explore wild animals photography and video with the Lumix G9. And the 100-300 II does a dandy job for the toll. The AF using one area or single point is very fast and authentic with this lens. As seen in the above video, this lens can be used hand held at twilight earlier sunrise. Even with a slow aperture like f/5.6 the DUAL IS of the Lumix G9 with the stabilization of the lens volition permit ISOs of 1600 or 800 with shutters down to 1/650 and even lower when it's paired with a Dual IS trunk. And that for me made a huge departure getting stable video and long shots at twilight. I'm using exposure settings I could never get away with using a DSLR and lens 1/2 it's achieve. For me, that was a game changer.
Just like any lens, they have compromises. Next The Cons of the 100-300 Two.
ane) Sloppy manual focus band. Trying to nail infinity using the distance scale of the camera is very difficult as the focus signal gets sticky when about the infinity mark. And I use this for transmission focus a lot for video.
2) Focus breathing. Not much of an issue for photo. But for video this limits a lot of close upward to far away focus pulls. Unless y'all want the outcome where the blur changes size.
3) The wideness of the 100-300 II is about 15% tighter than the Panasonic 35-100 2 at 100mm. And almost 10% tighter than the Panasonic 45-150, at the 150mm end. Thus, this lens bodily wideness at various ranges are tighter than some other lenses.
Nevertheless, Below are some pics I recently shot with the 100-300 II.
Blue Heron during the sunrise at Morro Rock
Blue Heron on the PCH at Sunrise.
Long Billed Curlew afterwards sunrise.
The Panasonic 100-300mm f/4-5.6 OIS Ii is a corking lens for photo and video. It's not the best lens out there, but it gets the job done for nearly 1/iii the toll. This yr, I had the chance to handle the Panasonic/Lecia 50-200 f/2.8-4, and it was a much nicer lens with noticeably faster AF. And in that location is the Panasonic Leica 100-400 which is some other great lens. Both these higher priced lenses have improve prototype quality at the long end of 250 to 300mm. Just for the shorter range of 100-200, the Pana 100-300 holds up very well to the all-time.
So that's my long term review of this Panasonic lens. I shoot a diversity of styles and venues of photo and video. Thus, this is a great compact all effectually super telephoto lens that can exist used without a tripod for photograph and video.
The following are more video I shot with this lens: I besides effort to include the camera settings when possible.
Anyhow, hope this volition assistance if you lot're because this lens. Thank You lot.

The Panasonic 100-300mm f/iv-five.six OIS II is a great lens for photo and video. Information technology's non the best lens out there, just it gets the task done for virtually 1/3 the price.
Owning this lens myself (using information technology on E-M1 Mark II), I have to say this basically sums it upwards. It really is a expert value for money option. I'd say information technology should be a get-to choice for any Micro iv/3 user that wants to venture into super tele world without breaking a banking concern. It'southward a natural stride upward from the cheap 40-150 and 45-150 (both great value lenses on their own, by the way)
This year, I had the chance to handle the Panasonic/Lecia 50-200 f/ii.viii-4, and it was a much nicer lens with noticeably faster AF. And there is the Panasonic Leica 100-400 which is some other great lens. Both these higher priced lenses have better image quality at the long end of 250 to 300mm.
I just rented the 100-400 and tin can confidently say that information technology is a better lens than 100-300 in every regard except the dreaded stiff zoom issue. Simply this is in no way a critique of the 100-300 II, since the difference in cost is near 3 fold.
But for the shorter range of 100-200, the Pana 100-300 holds up very well to the best.
Definitely, the 100-300 Ii performs very well in the 100-200 range. If I recollect correctly from my tests, 150 mm is the sweet spot and information technology'due south very precipitous corner to corner at that focal length.
I thing to note for Olympus users. Y'all have to apply electronic shutter (♥) or EFCS (♦) drive modes to avoid blurring caused by shutter daze. Users of modern Panasonic bodies (the ones using new mechanical shutter design) don't have to worry almost this, I approximate.

Strange. I would retrieve that 100mm is 100mm on any lens. gues iam naive 😀
The focal lengths on the barrel almost never friction match the bodily focal length of the optics. And then there is focus breathing which OP mentioned. Different lenses jiff differently, just unless it's a specialist cine lens, there will be some of it. That means that focal length of the lens changes every bit the focus changes.
I was recently comparing my 100-300 2 with a film era Pentacon 4/300 (with and without a speedbooster). At "infinity", field of view from both was the same. merely as soon every bit I tested by photographing a subject just 3 meters from the photographic camera, the difference in field of view was immediately visible. Basically, with subject and camera in the same place, I had to fix the 100-300 Ii to around 260mm to friction match the 210mm of the Pentacon with a SpeedBooster. With elementary adapter and comparison both at 300mm, I had to move the Panasonic almost one meter closer to the field of study to get the same framing.
I played around measuring this stuff a while back. For instance, Olympus 30mm Macro is effectually 20mm at its closest focus distance.

I had to interweb it but it's sounds logic, turning lensring shifting elements for focus the focalpoint shifts abit and therefor the viewangle.
What i thought was a 12-100mm at hunderd locked would exist accept the aforementioned field of view as a 100-300mm at hunderd locked.
The digital "number" of "150mm" writed in the exif of the 100-300mm is i recollect a measurement and non a fysical fixed gearset, calibrated but with some tolerance.
I was recently comparing my 100-300 II with a film era Pentacon 4/300 (with and without a speedbooster). At "infinity", field of view from both was the same. but as before long as I tested by photographing a discipline just iii meters from the camera, the difference in field of view was immediately visible. Basically, with subject field and photographic camera in the same place, I had to set the 100-300 II to effectually 260mm to match the 210mm of the Pentacon with a SpeedBooster.

Re: Panasonic Lumix Grand Vario 100-300mm f/4-five.half dozen OIS II REVIEW
Give thanks y'all Astrotripper for that info. I had no thought why the focal lengths were different. Only that makes sense, focus breathing, and the distance inside of infinity. And of all the lenses I have the 100-300 is the longest zoom with the about focus breathing. At present that I recall about it, focus breathing may take been the reason for my variations of DSLR Lenses.

Past "wideness" are you referring to the field of view (FOV)?
Give thanks yous for this detailed review and the photos.
I actually similar this lens. It's a groovy value. Plus, I'm not aware of re-create variation, such as that seems to exist with the Panny 100-400. My copy (of the 100-300 II) is swell and I haven't seen whatever complaints.
Your experience and mine prove that skilful technique and fieldcraft can be more important that focal length.
Thank you once again!

Thank you HRC2016. To analyze, I was referring to the focal length, or width of the view. And, the variation is between different lenses.
The post above by Astrotripper explains the focus animate, and how zoom lenses can change their focal view when the point of focus is within the infinity range. I too institute those variations on my Nikon DSLR lenses.

Pick 2: Panny G9 + G Vario 100-300 Two

Currently I'm using Panasonic FZ1000 plus Catechism Sx70 HS for fill-in.
Cheers Avian2016. Those are some good choices. Either kit would do the job. Nonetheless, the IBIS or DUAL IS2 does give IME the Lumix G9 the edge for the long shot and for 4K video long shots. Especially for small unpredictable subjects like birds, insects, etc... Withal, if size and weight are not a problem the Nikon kit would practise great with a tripod and gimbal.
What you lot have there is a not bad combo. Making a change in photographic camera format and make is a significant change, and i that could be costly. Thus, before you lot make a choice on the kit, I would recommend going to your local photographic camera store to handle and exam out the gear to see how they feel, the speed and accuracy of the AF, how the stabilization feels, how the shot looks through the EVF or viewfinder, and how the button placement and egronomics feel. This would help y'all narrow downwards your choice.
Anyway, thanks and best wishes on your venture.

Re: Panasonic Lumix 1000 Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 OIS Two REVIEW
Cheers Avian2016. There are some posts on the G9 and BIF on mu43 forum but not much hither equally some threads become deleted over a brusque time.
Anyhow, I do use this setup for BIF when the opportunity arises. I've never had any problems using the G9 AF to switch instantly to AFC and BIF exposures when the bird takes flight, or when I see one approaching. Even so, some people have a hard time using the G9 for BIF, and they don't like it. Thus, this set up up is not for everyone. Some like information technology, others don't.

And that for me made a huge difference getting stable video and long shots at twilight. I'm using exposure settings I could never become away with using a DSLR and lens i/ii information technology's reach. For me, that was a game changer.
Merely like any lens, they have compromises. Next The Cons of the 100-300 II.
1) Sloppy manual focus ring. Trying to smash infinity using the distance scale of the photographic camera is very difficult equally the focus point gets glutinous when virtually the infinity mark. And I use this for transmission focus a lot for video.
2) Focus breathing. Not much of an issue for photograph. But for video this limits a lot of close up to far away focus pulls. Unless you want the effect where the blur changes size.
three) The wideness of the 100-300 Ii is about fifteen% tighter than the Panasonic 35-100 II at 100mm. And virtually 10% tighter than the Panasonic 45-150, at the 150mm finish. Thus, this lens actual wideness at diverse ranges are tighter than another lenses.
Nevertheless, Below are some pics I recently shot with the 100-300 2.
The Panasonic 100-300mm f/4-5.6 OIS Ii is a great lens for photo and video. It'southward not the all-time lens out at that place, simply information technology gets the job done for about 1/iii the price. This year, I had the risk to handle the Panasonic/Lecia 50-200 f/2.eight-4, and it was a much nicer lens with noticeably faster AF. And there is the Panasonic Leica 100-400 which is another slap-up lens. Both these higher priced lenses have amend epitome quality at the long stop of 250 to 300mm. But for the shorter range of 100-200, the Pana 100-300 holds upwards very well to the all-time.
So that's my long term review of this Panasonic lens. I shoot a variety of styles and venues of photograph and video. Thus, this is a keen compact all effectually super telephoto lens that can be used without a tripod for photo and video.
The post-obit are more video I shot with this lens: I also try to include the camera settings when possible.
Anyway, hope this will aid if you're because this lens. Thanks.
