Interesting comparison Martin, but not sure how you can line up the two images. The bodies are not in line or the images taken from the same perspective.

I'm not lining up the two images. By finding lines on the cameras that are parallel to the lens, we can approximate the lens length. There's a bit of error due to the slight angle of the 100-400 system, but it should be close enough to give an idea.

Are these images taken by the same person using the same camera/lens or images taken from websites? I am sure I have seen the panasonic image somewhere else, but may be mistaken.

But I will defer to your expertise!

BTW I think this image of the 100-400mm with the GH4 provides a good idea of the size.

It does appear to be similar in size to the Oly 40-150mm based on my handholding the Oly lens. So your comparison maybe right!

Cheers
