Olympus's flagship super-telephoto prime with built-in IS, delivering 600mm equivalent on MFT.
The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f/4 IS PRO is Olympus's flagship super-telephoto prime, launched in 2016. Delivering 600mm equivalent reach on MFT at a fraction of the size and weight of full-frame 600mm lenses, it demonstrates the MFT system's compelling telephoto advantage.
Optical quality is exceptional with outstanding sharpness across the frame. Built-in IS cooperates with body IBIS for up to 6 stops of stabilisation at 600mm equivalent — hand-holdable super-telephoto. Autofocus is fast and accurate via a linear motor. Build is fully weather sealed PRO-grade.
Micro Four Thirds mount only, 77mm filter thread. The MC-14 1.4x teleconverter extends reach to 840mm equivalent with minimal quality loss. The MC-20 2x reaches 1200mm equivalent but with f/8 effective aperture. No other system offers this reach in such a compact package.
Holds strong value used. Check IS operation, AF speed and accuracy, and weather seal integrity. The 300mm f/4 IS PRO is the ultimate argument for the MFT system for wildlife photographers. One of the most impressive lenses in any format.
