Lacks switchable IS modes, Sharpness not great past 200mm, Narrow max aperture at 400mm
This lens makes the most of the 2x focal length multiplier of Micro Four Thirds cameras do deliver a monster effective zoom range of 200-800mm. It's a little short on features compared with some of the latest super-telephoto zooms, like the Sigma 150-600m...

Flexible 200-800mm equivalent range. Longest in MFT catalogue, Good quality optics throughout range even when wide-open, Dust and splash-proof construction, Built-in tripod foot / collar, built-in hood, zoom lock, Effective optical stabilisation. Also Dua
A big step-up in price over existing super-tele MFT zooms, Continue: In depth
The Leica DG 100-400mm f4-6.3 is a high quality super-telephoto zoom for the Micro Four Thirds system. Mounted on an Olympus or Panasonic Lumix body, it delivers an equivalent range of 200-800mm, giving it a longer reach than any other native lens in the...
Low longitudinal chromatic aberration, Slight lateral chromatic aberration, Lack of problems with spherical aberration, Moderate distortion, Imperceptible coma, Very fast, silent and accurate autofocus, Very rich accessory kit
Unacceptable image quality on the edge of the frame in the 300400 mm focal range, Noticeable astigmatism, Weak performance against bright light, Vignetting at the shortest focal length could have been lower, Unattractive price/quality ratio, The physical
Still it's hard not to think that the current lens's price tag is definitely too high. Firstly, with such parameters it would be foolish to expect sensational resolution results and accordingly the lens's performance is so-so. Secondly there are several s...

While I was impressed with this lens in certain situations, it left me mostly underwhelmed. Remember, however, that I was handicapped a little by having to mate this lens with a GX85. If you're the owner of a GH4, which offers an advanced contrast detecti...

This is a sharp lens at all focal lengths. Resolution and contrast are excellent. The hybrid image stabilisation on the GX8 combination makes it possible to handhold at the 400 (800)mm extension which is amazing.
This is not a criticism of this particular lens – it is true of all super zooms – it can be difficult to actually find the small bird in the viewfinder at 800mm. Olympus deal with this issue with an addon optical sighting device that fits in the hot shoe
2199 is a lot to pay for a lens, but for a lens with these specifications it is a bargain. Serious wild-life and sports photographers routinely pay more than this for their 600mm optics. So this is a lot of lens for the comparatively reasonable price. Af...
Abstract: Más que ninguna otra cámara del grupo, la Leica parece una SLR de gran tamaño. Con un precio de 18.417 €, e l sensor de imagen se integra en el cuerpo y solo los objetivos son intercambiables, mientras que el interruptor de encendido es uno de sus pocos c...
Zoomring nicht griffig genug,Große Streulichtblende wackelig,Auflösung bei 400 mm nicht besser als beim Vorgänger
Mit dem überarbeiteten Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400 mm 4-6.3 Asph. II Power OIS (H-RSA100400) ist Panasonic ein sehr gutes, langbrennweitiges, robustes und lichtstarkes Telezoom gelungen. Dass der Zoomring eine Metallriffelung statt einer Gummierung besit...
du testPanasonic Leica DG 100-400 mm f/4-6,3 ASPH Power OISUne réussite : c'est le premier adjectif qui vient en tête lorsque l'on tire le bilan de ce gigazoom pour boîtiers Micro 4/3. Dans un format compact pesant moins d'un kilogramme pare-soleil inclu...
Un équivalent 200-800 mm, Rapport poids/encombrement, Prise en main, Stabilisation optiques très performante (Dual IS)
Faibles ouvertures maximales, Dureté de la bague de zoom, Manque d'homogénéité du piqué aux plus grandes ouvertures
Ce nouveau super télézoom est une première pour le système Micro 4/3. Imaginez un équivalent 800 mm f/6,3 dans un objectif stabilisé, compact, léger et jouissant d'une assez belle prise en main. Cela a de quoi en faire rêver plus d'un, d'autant qu'en mati...

Superb optisk ydelse og rigtig god mekanisk kvalitet. Meget let og kompakt
Faldende skarphed fra 300 mm, følsomt over for strølys, moderat lysstyrke
Denne Panasonic Leica-zoom til Micro Four Thirds-formatet er kort og godt fremragende. Den mekaniske kvalitet er på højde med de dyreste objektiver fra Canon og Nikon, og den optiske kvalitet står heller ikke tilbage for tilsvarende fra de to store prod...
