OM 100-400mm II review by PCmag: “worthwhile addition to a Micro Four Thirds kit”

The new lens is at Amazon US&CA&EU, Bhphoto, Adorama, OM Digital.

PCmag tested the new 100-400mm II lens and concluded:

Wins us over with its wildlife-friendly focal length, fully weather-sealed construction, and reasonable carry weight, all of which make it a worthwhile addition to a Micro Four Thirds kit.
If you use Micro Four Thirds gear and want a lens that brings distant scenes into close view, put the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm F5.0-6.3 IS II on your shopping list. It includes full weather protection to match OM cameras, captures images rife with detail, and is appropriately sized for the system. We also like its close focus capability, which is good for macro images in a pinch, and find it to be a decent value, though shy of a bargain. Put together, it’s enough to earn the M.Zuiko 100-400mm II our Editors’ Choice award.
