Having had the Panasonic 100-300 ii lens now for several months I have some comments on it. First, I bought it for taking bird/wildlife images but have found it so useful for many other types of photography as well. I have come to really like this lens for nature images, portraits and even landscapes. I have posted some images I took yesterday with it. Nothing spectacular but it does show off some of the capabilities of the lens. I had decided on this lens instead of the Pany 100-400 as it was smaller and lighter, plus cost me less. I have not been disappointed. Cheers. Stay safe and well.
