Olympus M.Zuiko 300mm F/4 IS PRO Lens

Lens Description

The Olympus M.Zuiko 300mm F/4 IS PRO is a super telephoto prime designed for cameras with a Four-Thirds (2X) sensor. This prime has a 300mm focal-length. It provides the same field of view as a 600mm lens on a Full-Frame camera. An optical Image Stabilization System built into this lens compensates for camera shake. The body of this lens is weatherproof against adverse weather such as rain and snow. It has sealing to prevent entry of water and dust.

This prime can focus down to 140cm from the imaging plane which gives it a maximum magnification of 0.24X. The lens supports autofocus and features a switch to disengage AF for focusing manually. A built-in focus motor is used to set the focus-distance. It allowed Olympus to optimize the motor precisely for this lens in order to maximize performance.

This lens is only available for Micro Four-Thirds. Follow this link for all current compatible digital cameras: Micro Four-Thirds mount cameras.
