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.

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.

I took the 40-150 image from camerasize.com and simply rotated it. The 100-400 image comes from the rumor site. And, you're right, the GH4 body is further away from the camera with the 100-400 lens, so if you used the GH4 dimensions to estimate lens size, you'll tend to overestimate the 100-400 size in relation to the 40-150 Pro size. That's why I avoided trying to do exact measurements. But you can get reasonably accurate measurements.

But I think the OP is close, if maybe a slight overestimation of the 100-400 size in relation to the 40-150 size.

I do think the 100-400 is slightly larger than the 40-150 Pro, but maybe a little less than the OP states.

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
