Cons: Heavy, if you can believe the manufacture's specifications then this lens is heavier then a Nikon or canon 300 2.8. About as much as I care to carry for long hikes.
Pros: Well, this is it for 4/3 users who want to do birds and wildlife. Stellar image quality, as sharp as a lens can be, esp. when used with E-5. Outstanding build quality that shrugs off typical knocks and field abuse. Sharp wide open. Works great with 1.4 teleconverter.
Summary: If you can afford it you will not be disappointed. I spent years pining for this lens and now that I have it I will never part with it!

Cons: I am not sure could anything be called "cons" when this kind of lens are in question. Oly 300 is simply better than anything out there.
Pros: Sick-sharp. It is so sharp, that you won't believe it. Better than 90-250, better contrast and sharpness wide open. Only thing that can get between you and a good photo, give good conditions, is when atmospheric conditions are such that it acts like a lens.
Summary: Great lens. Very expensive, but with unparalleled portability and optical quality. The quality is so good, that you will think something gotten inside NASA to steal their plans to make this lens.
