Re: 100-300 vs. 50-200+1.4TC: surprised!

I don't think that the findings of "luisflorit" are correct.

There is something wrong with his set-up.

I did a short test with the 50-200 SWD + EC-14 compared to the Olympus 75-300 at 300mm.

Here is a 100% crop at F6.3 / F6.7

both manually focussed with 14x magnification

Sturdy tripod, no IS, 75-300 with Manfrotto 293 Telephoto Lens Support, AntiShock 10 sec, cable release

First 50-200 SWD + EC-14 F6.3 (officially 283mm)

Second the Olympus mFT 75-300 F6.7 at 300mm

I think the difference is easy to see ......

And I doubt it would be any different with the Panasonic 100-300
