Well, it arrived today, and I took a little time to check it out and shoot a few images with it and my E-M1X.
First impressions were how solidly built it is. I's bigger and heavier than the P/L 100-400, but smaller and lighter than the 300f/4 Pro:
The balance on the E-M1X seems just right, and with this large a lens, it's nice having the vertical grip. The controls are smooth, and I got no lens creep even with the lock disengaged.
Handheld 1/30th second @400mm:
Notice it's a bit softer on the edges, but I don't think I was perfectly parallel to the image plane. Better to test with a tripod. Next I went outdoors, on a cold, wet day. Unbelievable weather for New Mexico. 90 degrees on Tuesday, two inches of snow yesterday morning.
Most of these were shot at ISO 1000, to keep shutter speeds up. Eventuallythe sun came out for a bit, and I was able to shoot at ISO 400.
My ferocious 7 month old aussie pup, Sunshine. He's actually just chewing on some grass, so he can go inside and throw up, one of his best tricks.
