Value for money

Retailing at around £450, this lens represents reasonably good value for money, especially as the lens it replaces used to retail for around £630 at one point. Panasonic offer a 100-300mm lens that sports a faster maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, as well as in-lens optical stabilisation for around £420. However, this Panasonic lens is more bulky as a result.
