I am surprised no one has looked at the new PL 50-200 with a 1.4 TC. I read a review side by side with the 100-400 and it looked pretty good. The 2.0 TC didn’t result in sharper images but that combo might be also not a bad alternative? I am on the fence at the moment to which combo I take to Kenya. Apart from the extra cost I am really torn overall.

Great pictures from the 100-400 I have seen online especially with the G9 which I have. The 50-200 would compliment the 12-60 and 8-18 nicely but I might need more reach on safari hence torn about it.

I already have a 35-100/2.8 so when I was looking for a long zoom for wildlife photography, the lens would only be for that purpose.  For general travel use, I'll keep using my 35-100 for its f/2.8 but more importantly, for its small size.  So for me, the 100-400 made more sense because I'd be using it at its long end a lot.
