Panasonic LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 MEGA OIS
By Kevin Carter - Wednesday, February 13, 2013 Lens Overview
While this practically pocket-sized lens will only appeal to Panasonic and Olympus Micro 3/4 users, with an 35mm equivalent focal length of 200-600mm f/4-5.6, this lens may seem like an attractive option for wildlife photographers. In terms of image quality, the resolution is consistent across the image field while vignetting (lens shading) is well-controlled although the peak resolution is a bit low and acutance at 300mm (600mm equivalent) is, unsurprisingly, lower still. However, the sharpness at 150mm (300mm equivalent) is pretty good. Furthermore, at around $500, the price is relatively accessible.

With the vagaries of photographing wildlife, the flexibility of a telephoto zoom would appear to be an attractive solution. However, image quality is often a compromise at the maximum aperture and longest focal length, typically the most crucial settings. We’ve pulled some lens data from our database and put together a round up of popular zoom lenses over the years (and made some comparisons with high performance primes). Read on to find out which models have the best image quality. |
