Yes!!!
You volition be reported as a missing person as you will become addicted to getting one more bird in flight.
Seriously, no issues other than a slight mismatch of Pana to Oly conditions mount seals causing a adequately stiff mounting and Pana Lens IS at 300-400mm beingness superior to IBIS so switch Lens IS to On and photographic camera card to Lens IS Priority On (the default anyhow).
With very adept technique yous will dear information technology!

Re: Panasonic Leica 100-400 On Olympus Any Issues
I'll put forth Brian and Martin as two of many accomplished users of this combo (and engaged in rather different pursuits).
Issues I've read of are mis-focus with sure filters (non specific to Oly bodies), stiff zoom ring and the fact that Panny zoom rings turn counter to Oly zooms, which I could see being annoying. Y'all too have to choose between IBIS and OIS and can't access hybrid IS.
Only reason I don't ain one is opting for the 300 Pro instead, and which will spoil you right quick if yous ever try ane.
Good luck!

Merely be enlightened the weather sealing may not work. Lots of good info in this too every bit the one that'south linked in information technology.
That is the simply effect I know of other than some features in your EM1 volition non work with Panasonic lenses, like Pro Capture in your mk2.

Only exist aware the atmospheric condition sealing may not work. Lots of expert info in this likewise as the one that's linked in information technology.

as has been said, no pro-capture and as well no dual IS Other than that I haven't spotted any since the various firmware updates.
In the original version of the EM-one mk2 + 100-400 in that location were conflicts (from memory between the Image stabilisation and using the focus limiter on the lens when panning) which resulted in sudden mad vibration of the sensor which was very visible in both the EVF and the final paradigm simply as I say, with the latest firmware its no longer a trouble
With my copy of the mk2 and 100-400 I have total conviction in the atmospheric condition sealing having used in in pouring rain on the beach shooting in gale forcefulness winds with sand, common salt-spray and seaweed flying nearly (always giving a very thorough wash and clean before fifty-fifty thinking most removing the lens afterwards)
My biggest gripe apart from the stiff zoom (my get-go re-create had to exist replaced ) is that rotten hood design, the spiral lock on mine has failed and then I no longer utilize it
In use, like many others, I find that high shutter speeds give the sharpest results (await at some of Vass's images)
(Oh, you may also find yourself getting involved in heated debates most why CAF + tracking does or doesn't work, again look at Vass's threads on this for some proof that information technology does piece of work, for some of us )

Just wondering...
I bought a PL 100-400 recently and I'm using it on an EM1 Mk2. Like you, I'1000 very happy with the performance.
When the switch on my lens is turned on though, the stabilisation seems to operate all the fourth dimension ie not just when the shutter button is one-half pressed.
I have tried with Lens IS Priority set to on, and to off, and this seems to make no departure.
Is that your experience also ie that in one case lens IS is turned on, it's working when the camera is on?
Thank you

I use the 100-400 with my EM5 ii and am very happy with the results. The lens' OIS is even improve than EM5'southward IBIS.
But be aware that the PL100-400 as well aus the Oly300/f4 both don't like the old EM1 shutter. See my test here:
https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4037918
Simply with EM5 ii or EM1 ii you lot won't notice any sharpness degradation at all ..

I used the 300mm f4 for 6 months before getting the 100-400. I had looked downwards on the 100-400 until I used information technology. Now I love it and my 300 is back on the shelf for at present.

I got it recently and took some nice bird pictures with it. No problems apart from some focus hunting in low light. (I haven't made any rigorous tests, just it might be that my trusty Olympus 75-300mm lens acquired focus a bit faster in low lite than PL 100-400.)
When the focus is good, pictures are very sharp fifty-fifty at high ISO and longest focal length.

its a peachy value for money lens, falls downward a bit when comparison at 301mm to 400mm though
As ever, what suits the lensman is the best lens for that photographer, (I certainly would not get dorsum to using my 75-300 mk2 every bit it in no way matched the optical quality of the 100-400 at long focal lengths and I was never able to produce the images that I now tin can using the 100-400)

If you lot have the camera IS set to "lens priority" and the OIS switch on the lens to "on", the image stabilization of the lens will be on continuously. I discover this to be preferable to having th IS but on half shutter printing equally it gives me a stable EVF view without having to activate the focusing scheme.
To the OP, I have used the PL100-400 on an East-M1, E-M1 II, E-M5 II, and a Pen F, all with slap-up success (for me, anyhow). I use it for everything from, birds in flight, to rodeos, to surfers, to tiny bugs on flowers. Information technology is my most used lens.......only not very practiced for discreet use on the street.

I don't, considering the 100-400 is much sharper.

If you have the camera IS ready to "lens priority" and the OIS switch on the lens to "on", the image stabilization of the lens will be on continuously. I find this to be preferable to having th IS simply on one-half shutter printing every bit information technology gives me a stable EVF view without having to activate the focusing scheme.
Unfortunately that's non how it works on my EM1ii. I have the photographic camera IS set to "lens priority" and the OIS switch on the lens to "on", but the image stabilization of the lens is Non on continuously. I wish information technology was considering at that place is a lag before IS kicks in when I half press the shutter.
To the OP, I have used the PL100-400 on an Eastward-M1, E-M1 Two, East-M5 II, and a Pen F, all with great success (for me, anyway). I use it for everything from, birds in flight, to rodeos, to surfers, to tiny bugs on flowers. It is my most used lens.......but not very proficient for discreet use on the street.

I find this to be preferable to having th IS just on half shutter printing as it gives me a stable EVF view without having to actuate the focusing scheme.
Unfortunately that's non how information technology works on my EM1ii. I accept the camera IS gear up to "lens priority" and the OIS switch on the lens to "on", simply the image stabilization of the lens is NOT on continuously. I wish it was because at that place is a lag earlier IS kicks in when I half printing the shutter.

Hmmm...
I simply checked mine once again, a moment ago, and when I turn the camera on, I tin hear the OIS running if I put the lens up to my ear. The image is rock solid in the EVF and no delay at all when I half printing to auto focus. Something else must be in play here.
