New to micro 4/3 but went in head first with an EM-1 and 12-40 and 40-150 PRO lenses. Considering a lighter weight super tele for my dog walks normally see lots of ducks, egrets, herons etc. Looking for pro/con advice from someone that has shot both on an EM-1 body.

I realize the Panasonic is faster but missing the 75-100 on the low end.

Anyone tried both on an EM-1 and can comment on C-AF and sharpness? My walks are normally daylight so F/8 is not a problem with 1/1000 shutter speed.

From what I have seen the Oly is sharper than the Panasonic at all focal lengths. It is very fast focusing on the E-M1. It is a very good lens considering how little it costs. Be careful though on the long end. It is so light it is hard to hold steady.

With IBIS active on the E-M1.1 or 2 I never had any problems with the 75-300 II.

At the Olympus 1.4x teleconverter to the 40-150mm lens. This teleconverter is also 100% compatible with the 300mm f/4 lens should you later add this lens to your kit.

The 40-150mm with the TC gives you the equivalent of a full frame camera with a 420mm f/4 lens - pretty sweet!
