Thank you Daniel, glad to hear my article was helpful. I really enjoy using the Panasonic 100-400 mm, and the compact design is certainly largely responsible for that. And even though it is not a “real” Leica lens, you can still find the influence in build quality and sharpness.
Have a nice day !

Dear Marc, thank you for this excellent article! Because of you, I am now very tempted by the Panasonic 100-400mm but that will wait since I am looking to prior upgrade my Lumix camera body with the more robust 20MP G9 to replace my good old 16MP G85. All your personal experiences are precious infos for us and are very helping poor photographers like us ;-). Good day to you!

Thanks, all compliments are warmly welcome 😂.

As for Olympus, still sitting on the fence. My current plan is to continue with what I have to see how my ‘new hand and neck’ react to photography after the surgery I recently had. As I progress (I hope) I can determine my needs. I would hate to purchase a complete kit of OM-1, multiple lens, filters, flash, etc. to find I can’t shoot out in the boonies. The Dr has doubts. I don ‘t LOL Thanks again.

Haha, still not tempted to change to Olympus ? No jokes now, your photos look really great, I am especially in love with that pink spoonbill, here with us you sometimes see a white one, but in pink that is something completely different, really stunning ! thanks for visiting Ted !

Thanks Mark ! Yes you should, objective first hand experiences are valuable for many (new) photographers, especially when they come from experts like you Mark.

Hi Marie, I’m sorry to hear about your stolen FZ1000; it’s a fantastic camera. However, looking at your photos, it’s evident that your current camera is just as impressive. You’re right about the Leica lenses; they truly make a difference in photo quality. That’s one of the reasons why I love using the Leica 100-400mm lens too. Weight was also a concern for me, and that’s why I switched from a Pentax DSLR. I have to admit; bridge-type cameras have caught my eye as well. They are lightweight, convenient with no lens swapping, and produce outstanding results. Thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts. You’re always welcome here !

You had a bargain with that lens! Nice comparison too. I need to write about my new lens, even though I briefly mentioned it.

I’ve been working exclusively with Leica lenses for quite a few years now. Panasonic pockets for all my macros and a Panasonic FZ1000 that I loved and that was stolen from my garden last summer.
But now I’ve got rid of DSLRs that are too heavy for my back, so I only have DSLRs that you can’t change lenses on.
