Re: Fun with Panasonic 100-300 - In India
Phil.......very, very nice. I'll be going to SA in a few months. It's a constant internal debate raging in my head.....Canon APS + 400mm or this combo.
You're helping to resolve it.

Thank you very much Rich. I would recommend the lens, but with reservations... in all honesty it struggles to get focus in lower light, not unexpected of course, but I found that keepers were about 10% of all shots taken. The GH2 would beep and lock focus, but it was not focussed even with the smallest zone set, firmware fix?
The ones in good sunlight, such as the Spotted Deer shot were good, but the less light, the less the quality and sharpness.
Sorry the Exif did not show up, here it is in order top image to bottom.
GH2, f/7.1 @ 127 mm, 1/1000, ISO 800
GH2, f/7.1 @ 201 mm, 1/1600, ISO 800
GH2, f/7.1 @ 264 mm, 1/500, ISO 800
GH2, f/7.1 @ 188 mm, 1/125, ISO 3200
GH2, f/7.1 @ 228 mm, 1/100, ISO 3200

Recommended for daylight with the light behind you, but be prepared to work at it. For the price, I am very happy.. it is a very inexpensive lens when compared to the Canon, Nikon pro lenses, and it is what it is.
