I've just got this lens so these are very initial comments. Firstly, wow, it's a solid, heavy beast of a lens. It must be milled from solid adamantine, I reckon.
Here it is next to the 35-100 (admittedly tiny) lens that came at the same time.
Second comment - as you move the focussing ring, it seems to zoom in and out. It's almost a 50-70 zoom. I don't know if that's an optical illusion, but it's weird. But actually with a bit of practice that might be useful.
Here's my first photo with it- one I took of the rear of the 35-100.
The light isn't especially good, so I had to open up the aperture, hence the ridiculous DOF on that one.
I shall venture into the garden, possibly with a tripod as I think it would balance better on the G7 rather than the GX9.
More to come...
