Olympus 100-400 - first shots and impressions

So, this lens can also take photos below 400mm

Yes, I know, a boring subject, but one that's easily accessible. At 300mm, things are definitely sharper and require less sharpening in post.

I don't see a big difference in sharpness between 200mm and 300mm. It's very good either way.

And finally, as I was coming back home, a bit of sun peeked through the clouds. It was still going through thin layer of clouds, but it made for much better (and [pleasant) lighting.

With a bit more light, it was possible to shoot at f/11 while still retaining fairly low ISO and adequate shutter speed (very useful at 560mm ). As a result, the whole subject is in focus.

One note on image quality. So far, one thing that stands out to me is how well it handles chromatic aberrations. None of the photos I posted have any CA corrections enabled and in general I have not seen any signs of CA on my photos so far. This is perhaps the biggest difference to my Panasonic 100-300 II and the PL 100-400 that I used last year.
