The usual advantages of (relatively) low weight and high quality are readily apparent. I'm still waiting, two weeks later, for the 2.0x teleconverter included as part of the offer. This is frustrating because Amazon listed nine in stock last night. However I have used the 1.4x teleconverter and am very impressed by the high quality in combination with the 300mm. Strangely, although the IS in the lens works in combination with camera body IS of my EM1mk2 (Olympus claim 6 stop equivalent for combination), I get sharper images from my G9 with the 300/1.4x combo which relies on lens image stabilisation only (according to the Panasonic website) when Olympus claim "only" 4 stop equivalent from the lens IS. But overall I shall be delighted with this purchase when I receive the 2.0x converter.
