Guys

I'm very interested in one of these but would need to sell my 45mm macro to fund it so reluctant to do it without getting some feedback on the 100-300

I have a GH2 with a 14-140, Olympus 9-18 and the Leica 45mm macro

I use the 14-140 for probably 75% of my pictures and the 9-18 for most of the others. The Leica gets very little use as I don't really shoot much macro at all.

The only area I don't really have covered is the long focal lengths which has got me thinking about the 100-300. I have previously owned a 45-200 but didn't think much to the image quality (although it was ok for the price) so I'm hoping the 100-200 is better.

The 14-140 is great but I do find it a little soft towards the longer end
 
There's a couple of people on the micro four thirds user forum that have it and seem pleased with the results. Seems to be a bit better at the long end than the 200.

How do you find the 45 for macro?

The 45mm is a FANTASTIC lens and thought by many to be the best MFT lens currently available. It is superbly sharp and the MF assist that the Panasonic cameras have makes close focussing very accurate.

I just don't do macro photos so it is a waste keeping it.
