OM Systems 100-400mm v 150-400mm Lens Comparison

In this video I compare the Olympus 100-400mm lens against the far more expensive 150-400mm. Is there a difference in optical quality? Well the good news for those who splashed out the cash for the more expensive lens yes there is. However, if you bought the cheaper version you will be pleased to know the difference in optical quality is not great and the 100-400 has the advantage of being much lighter and more compact. And that is why most people bought into MFT for lightness and smaller sizes. Maybe the 100-400mm is the better buy even if you can afford the 150-400mm.
Combined with the OM-1 camera body both are excellent lens to own.
