I had to drop my phone and go to the laptop to see the exif for your photo, to be sure you were referring to the "oldie-but-goodie" 70-300, rather than some micro variant I was unaware of. I like this type of photo, lots of color and a nice geometric composition in a sort of bird's eye view, exactly what that lens is good at. Mine is sort of languishing, having been replaced by the 50-200, which is not nearly so convenient as the 70-300 (though of course has other strengths). I used to do a lot of manual close-up focusing with the 70-300, which was greatly enhanced by the latest firmware version. Enjoy it!

Stew I purchased the 4/3 70-300 years ago and used it a hand full of times. I put it back in the Oly box and haven't used it since I purchased the 50-200 SWD. That's over seven years ago damn. I might just get that lens out and give it a go again.
