Lens comparison - opinions?

[dbarak]

Hi everyone,

Two quick questions for you all...

First, of these two lenses, any opinion as to which one is the highest quality?

• Olympus Zuiko 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 ED
• Panasonic Lumix 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 G Vario Aspherical MEGA OIS

Second, any thoughts about going strictly with used Olympus Zuiko manual focus lenses and the appropriate adapter? I'm not too concerned about autofocus, although I may also buy a dedicated micro 4/3 lens for that feature too.

First, as a former Titan, and someone who once lived on Poway Mesa Court, let me say hi!

While I have no firsthand experience with either of the lenses you mentioned, I'll say both are rather slow.
By the range they cover, it looks as though you are wanting something on the longer end of the zoom range?

All the Best!
