Hi Irb (?)
This lens is great, but also big and heavy.
The only con's are the size and weight (which often prevent me from
taking it with me in situations I could have had much pleasure of it)
and the price of course.
But the quality is superb, on par with the other younger (in design
that is) Zuiko lenses. It is very good for wildlife photography, and
the 1.4xA converter is perfectly matched. The 2xA converter is fine
too, albeit not recommended by Olympus.
Unfortunately I cannot compare with the Tamron 300/2.8 you own. I can
compare with the Zuiko 300/4.5. However good the price/quality ratio
of that lense may be, you won't be surprised if I say that the 350
outperforms it by far.
Frank.
