I received the 0ly 100-400mm yesterday. After doing some routine handheld sharpness and IS tests, which i've done many times, my conclusion is sharpness is pretty equal but in my hands the OIS on the Pany 100-400mm is better than any combination of IS settings that can be used with the E-M1 MK111 + OLY 100-400mm lens. I will miss the advantage of being able to use the 1,4x TC but I'm 74 and IS is the most important thing to me. The lens will be returned to Amazon after the bank holiday.

Wow, this sounds rather disappointing! I'd expected the Oly to perform better in terms of IS than the Panny on the latest oly body.. Thanks for posting.
