This is the new improved version of the lens.

This is the same lens, the available product is an offer from a marketplace retailer, while the unavailable lens was offered directly by us.

Hello, this lens works very well with an OM-D E-M5 Mk1 and you have to use the stabilizer of the camera, the one of the lens is useless on Olympus.

I am very satisfied with the combination. The image stabilisation of the lens does not work in combination with the stabilisation of the camera (so you have to choose one or the other and then body is preferable in my opinion), but this is not a disadvantage compared to the Olympus 75-300 of the same price. The lens is relatively light, so I always carry it in my backpack. Despite the plastic tubes, it is robustly built. At long focal lengths, the focusing is rather slow, so for sports photography you would probably have to go for a professional lens...

I bought the 100-300 in addition to the 14-140 that came with my GX8. This covered the whole range of focal lengths. The 100-300 is good for my intended use with the compromise of investment and performance. the 100-400 would be better but 3x more expensive. in this case already have a 14-42 I would opt for the 45-200. Consider if brightness is an important criterion. for "general public" wildlife photography one chooses good weather, backlighting and sound effects for the pros who choose the more powerful 100-400 versions or even more. for a very reasonable price of about 350, the 45-200 will be a good "passe-partout".

I have been using this lens for about a year. Experience has shown that from a zoom of 200mm I have to work with a tripod and that I get better pictures with my camera, the GX70, with manual focusing. The lens allows me to take pictures in the mountains that are otherwise only possible with photo crops. Since I mainly shoot landscapes, any distortions are not an issue.

According to the manufacturer's number, this is the new version. I doubt that the old version is still available.
