Re: 100-300 vs 40-150 Pro

Yesterday the sun came out, so I redid the test with a different scene (with more detail).

This time I turned OIS off (IBIS too). Other changes: ISO 200 and Anti Shock 4 seconds.

Luisflorit is right - the 100-300 is very close in sharpness in the center wide open (F4) compared to the 40-150 pro with F2.8. In the corners it's quite different, here the 40-150 pro is alot sharper. The Pany 14-140 mk2 is the softest of these three lenses.

Pany 100-300 at 100mm with F4.0

Pany 14-140 mk2 at 100mm with F5.4

I did more shots of the same scene, but that might be too many pictures for this post. If somebody is interested in a specific comparison, I will post them...
