Lovely shots!

I had the Oly 75-300 and the general chit chat from others is that the Pana 100-300 is much the same.

I found a big step up in IQ with my PL 100-400  but it is not just optically... the AF is much superior in speed and accuracy. When my Oly 75-300 nailed focus it was good but it often was a touch out. I tried it for birding and motorcycling and here and there got a great shot. Now I get many more sharp shots than bad ones so yes... it should benefit you too. However the PL 100-400 has not suited some people as has been often repeated here. Use the search feature.

So I find the PL zoom great and indeed some others have owned it and the glorious Oly 300 Pro and settled on the zoom by choice. YMMV.
