Description
Clifton Cameras is a credit broker, not a lender and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN728300). The lens nets outstanding resolution for the 20MP sensor at 100mm (2,650 lines), with strong resolution from center to edge. Okay, it didn't quite go like that, but after waiting a week to get the lens in my hands, that pretty much sums it up.
Switches: I don't use switches on either of the lenses, and I really wish I could disable them because sometimes they get knocked out of position. The 100-400mm isn't all plastic, of course -- some of the barrel is clearly metal -- but the interior lens barrel that extends out as you zoom is plastic, as are the focus and zoom rings and the area that houses the panel of switches.
To be fair, I thought my first review was more representative of real world shooting conditions - birds and wildlife they don't just stand out in the open, broad sunlight posing for you readily to shoot. By keeping your distance and using the longer end of the zoom range, the bees, butterflies, and little critters come and go giving you plenty of opportunities.
IS lens from OMD World Imaging (sole distributor for Olympus products in Malaysia) to revisit the lens performance, this time in better lighting conditions. Overall, this is a capable lens, although its bulk is a negative when the strength of the Micro Four Thirds format is portability.Anything that isn’t as you would expect, we then make a note of and show this in the condition notes on the page. While a 200-800mm-equivalent zoom range is already extremely versatile and long-reaching, the Olympus 100-400mm supports even more versatility thanks to its compatibility with Olympus' 1. Most importantly I could rest the camera and lens comfortably on my lap while paddling, and with the exceptional weather sealing, I knew it didn't matter if I splashed water into the cockpit. Perhaps the primary negative feature of this 100-400mm in terms of image quality performance is its fairly dim variable aperture. Together these combine to deliver edge to edge sharpness with bright clear images and video, along with well controlled ghosting and flaring for sunlit conditions.
