Amazing reach for the size and price.
Beware though: it is very, very difficult to focus it when hand-holding.
I might be happy with it if I habitually used a tripod, but I don't.
Try and take a look at the Olympus 70-300mm 4.8-6.3 instead. Not much longer, it is sharper, and very flexible. Highly useful lens.
(Should be used with Olympus bodies though, since they have in-body stabilization. Panasonic bodies depend on it being in the lens. Pana has a similar lens, but I haven't tried it.)

EolakeThe Tokina 300 mm f/6.3 compact telephoto mirror lens is designed specifically for mirrorless compact system cameras using the micro 4/3rds mount. The 300 mm focal length of the lens gives effective 600 mm (in 35 mm terms) when placed on a mirrorless camera body making it a super-telephoto lens. This allows distant subjects to be brought in much closer. But despite this powerful focal length the lens is incredibly compact to match the size of the compact cameras it was intended to be used with. The lens has a fixed f/6.3 aperture. The Tokina 300 has a full metal lens barrels and very high quality glass optics to yield the enhanced optical performance from this design. This lens has a wide grip area on the manual focusing ring and smooth movement to assist in-focusing. (This is not an auto-focus lens.)
