    Olympus 75-300 mkII vs Panasonic 100-300mk II

    I have the Panasonic 100-300 mkii on em1 mk3. I went with the Panasonic in the end based on the max aperture although I was worried about the cross company compatibility. I use it for photographing rowing. So not the fastest sport but still I have not been let down when using focus tracking.

    Stupid Marketing Calls

    Just tell them you are going to switch on your PC now and leave them on the phone ad infinitum. Will at least stop them making a few calls to other people why they wait.

    Photila : anyone heard of them / used them?

    Their website does appear to be registered to a valid UK residential address but their Amazon seller feedback is interesting: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/seller/at-a-glance.html?ie=UTF8&seller=ASDPL96MDY66J I personally wouldn't deal with any company that doesn't list comprehensive contact...
