Not for me. Too big, and I was thinking that the new Image Stabilization would be great, but now I find out it won't work with Panny's own 100-300 (where it is most needed) and no upgrade planned for the 100-300. Looks like Panasonic wants us to buy the new 100-400 L at what will most likely be $1,500+. Getting close to $3,000 for the pair.

Keeping my order in for the Oly M5II at $899. Smaller, lighter, 5 axis IS regardless of lens, and better looking IMO. I have my GX7 up for sale, but may have to rethink keeping it as it might become more valuable, I think.
