Re: Who Chose the 300 f4 over the 100-400 for Birding and Why?

I am interested in a M4/3 system for photography which requires more magnification i.e. macro and birds/reptiles. Both the 300 and 100-400 allow quite close focusing which would important use of these lenses for me but I have not seen any comparison at  the closest range. Otherwise I would tend to the 300.

Also I have not made any decision on which camera: GX8 or PenF. Panasonic uses the same batteries as my Leica Q and I like the tiltable viewfinder but I am concerned losing the advantage of IBIS working with Olympus lenses.
