Excellent Telephoto Lens!

I am an avid birder and shoot RAW. Coupled with my Panasonic Lumix g92, this lens performs flawlessly: super fast autofocus and crisp images even at full zoom and reduced light.
Great sharpness!

Many reviews refer that lens as not very sharp at 300mm end, so I had no high expectations. May be it only my copy, but I got great results photographing birds on my front-yard. Amazing sharpness! Bird feeder is 9 meters from my window. But birds sitting in the bush at 12meters also very sharp as well as road signs which are at 50-60 meters distance. Like that lens a lot so far.

question
I want to buy some MFT lenses for my JVC LS300. Are all the Panasonic MFT lenses parfocal and will they all work with the LS300 rocker zoom?
The Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens B&H # PA451754XB and the Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens B&H # PA144235XS can be used with the LS300 and be zoomed by the rocker switch. These lenses are not parfocal and rely on Auto Focus to maintain focus. Also note, the LS300 must crop the sensor to work with these MFT format lenses.

question
Is the manual focus ring tied to the autofocus system or is it a true manual focus with measured markings? Asking because my Olympus 75-300 just failed and is not even usable as a manual focus lens. Hope this is clear?
There are no measured markings on this lens.

question
I am using a MeFoto backpacker tripod for my Olympus 10 Mark ii camera for which a tripod collar is needed with the 40-150mm pro lens (wt. 1.7lbs). Will I need a tripod collar for this lens (wt. 1.15lb)? If so, is one available?
There is no tripod collar accessory for 100-300, You should will fine using it without one.

B&H specs show the maximum magnification for this ...
B&H specs show the maximum magnification for this lens is 0.21x. A 2x multiplication factor to convert from micro 4/3 sensors to a 35mm equivalent for lens focal length and f/stop. Should the 2.1x max magnification be multiplied by 2 to yield a 4.2 max magnification?
Yes all MFT lenses give two times the magnification of FF (full-frame) lenses-including the 100-300mm. It works from very close distances all the way to the Moon. I don't think f/stop has anything to do with magnification. The best way to get really close to the subject is with a MFT macro lens, which gives 2x magnification of a FF macro.

question
Is anyone using a teleconverter with this lens? If so, which one? Thanks.
Unfortunately, B&H does not carry a teleconverter that would be compatible with the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 II POWER O.I.S. Lens. Im not aware of one on the market.
