Quote:It is non-extending so it is debatable whether the Canon 70-300mm L IS is smaller.Smaller in a bag, can't think of a reason why one would consider that it gets bigger when in use on the camera...
The new Olympus has quite a bit of "negative" focus breathing (FOV getting wider at MFD), it only reaches 0.21x magnification at 0.7 meters MFD (in comparison, the Canon 70-300mm L already is not great in that respect, showing the same 0.21x mag. at 1.2m MFD. Again in comparison, my 70-200mm f4 does 0.21 at 1.2m MFD).
