Panasonic Lumix 4.0-5.6/100-300 Power Ois Kameralinse

I was a bit apprehensive before I took the plunge and bought the 100-300mm. I am glad I went ahead and purchased. For a lense with this range the rice is very reasonable. The image stabilisation with both lense and body working together enables good hand held telephoto images. See my images.

I bought this lens before going on a safari in the Serengeti. It proved to be an excellent purchase. Perfect for taking zoomed photographs on safari. It is also reasonably compact and not too heavy. The value for money is also good, so I highly recommend this lens.

A great super zoom that works really good and has in lens stabilisation. Photos pin sharp.

Purchased this lens for a birds of prey in flight photography course and it performed really well. Not too heavy and balanced well.

I used this lens while travelling in Yellowstone National Park. Loads of opportunities to shoot animals from small birds to bison and bears. I got a range of really memorable images but had to be very careful with shutter speed and iso choices (small maximum aperture). The lens is a bit soft at long range (expected at the price) but it's actually really good when used for closer shots to get high magnification (think birds within 10m). Highly recommended for a cheaper option when you need long telephoto zoom!
