Man that 150-400 F/4.5 looks awesome! 1.25x tele built in to give effective 35mm FOV of 1000mm F/5.6... and only weighing 1.85kg!
Any Olympus shooters?

I shoot both m4/3rd's (Olympus and Panasonic) and Nikon (DX & FX). I love my Oly 40-150/2.8, but when it comes to longer glass, I use my Nikon gear. I am curious to hear about the 150-400, but I do not believe that it will be on my wish list anytime soon.

The E M5III with PanaLeica 100-400 is my birding gear for long walks but I get better results with the D500 and PF500. The lens is better (and faster with the DX D500) and the combination focuses more reliably than the Olympus, but the latter is still pretty good when the light is OK and the focus works well enough to get a high proportion of keepers. The Oly 'Pro' lenses are very good and I use them for all my non-wildlife photography these days.
I used to use the Panasonic G9 and Panasonic 100-400 mm. That could produce very good IQ. For birds though its CDAF wasn't up to snuff. It would fail with busy backgrounds and sometimes not even manage easy mid-ground shots.

Do my OM1 and OM2N count?
