Re: My observations

I considered the 40-150 but seeing how big it is, I am getting the Panny 35-100 & do want something up to 400 for wildlife & birds. I have the inexpensive Panny 100-300 that sometimes is good sometimes not so great but I want longer greater reach, so looking to upgrade to a better lens without breaking the bank. (I am petite with neck & back issues so the large lens and weight not welcome.)

The new Oly has gotten some very favorable reviews.
Thought some might enjoy this YouTube video showing use of the new Oly lens & the Panny 35-100
