Product Information

And at 300 mm my copy of Olympus is sharper at the top of the frame (but equally blurry at the bottom). M.Zuiko is very fast to autofocus, taking less than a second to go through its entire focusing range.

And while Panasonic lenses autofocus as you would expect on OM cameras, they are tuned for Panasonic's own DFD contrast detect AF system – and some notable examples (such as the Panasonic 20mm f/1. Don't underestimate this point, a good quality shot is better than an outstanding quality shot you couldn't take. For people who don't know this lens, it would be easy to dismiss it as a cheap and cheerful – but inferior – alternative to a 'proper' standard zoom lens. However, recognising that bokeh evaluation is subjective, we have provided a few examples for your perusal.

maximum aperture and controllable background blur for everything from wildlife to wedding portraits. If OIS is gone from the list of things in favour of the 100-300, then I think 75-300 will be my choice (unless I decide I don't really need it and stick to my 40-150. Today I took a few test shots of my neighbour's chimney from the tripod with the OIS of Panasonic 100-300 turned off and only the IBIS in m Hallo Dazass, my personal impression of this lens is that you need to work harder with it than others to get the best out of it. I will update this post once I get the chance to thoroughly test both lenses on a tripod with the Panasonic's OIS turned off.

While this is off-putting for Panasonic camera users, which rely on in-lens stabilization, it means the Olympus versions are often more affordable.The lens also supports the focus peaking/magnification feature of my Olympus bodies which comes in so handy when you have to focus on a subject partly obscured by branches. with a 35 mm equivalent of 150-600mm is an affordable super-telephoto lens that delivers excellent portability and outstanding image quality when paired with an award-winning OM-D or Olympus PEN camera. If we keep cropping in mind, Canon’s old, but outstanding 300mm f4 IS sells for around 1000 Eur and weights a just bit more than 1 kg. My lens is always sharp near the centre but definitely needs to be stopped down to get good edges and corners, particularly at 75 to about 250mm. Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors.

You can compare it for very long, but overall, if we don’t touch the very high end, I think that systems are competitive. Many of my readers are here because of travel photography, so I decided to start making posts about photo gear. That difference is about one stop of ISO, which can be important when shooting at critical higher ISOs for faster shutter speed. I only have two Oly lens that I use with my 3 Pany bodies (and they are use mostly with the Gx85): 9-18 and 75-300 as a travel kit.While this lens, like every non-professional zoom on the market, does not deliver peak performance at the long end, with good technique it is definitely very possible to get sharp results from this lens at the full 600mm equivalent extension. I am considering of getting additional camera (mirrorless) and how Olympus will get a good promotional discount soon! That being said the Olympus 75-300-II is sharper than the Panasonic 100-300 because it doesn't have the moving OIS unit inside. I can confirm that the focus peaking and magnification responds as expected on Olympus E-P5, E-M10, and E-M10 MkII bodies when using the Lumix 100-300mm. Again nitpicking and most people probably do not recognize this, but I liked the way the zoom ring of the Panasonic handles more.

Not for wildelife or sports photography but just that sometimes when you’re travelling and in a specific situation where you can’t get super close to your subject say a train or something, it’d be useful. with TC is a no-go, and the Panasonic 100-400 or 50-200 are just too expensive for a lens I will use this rarely. Yes I've heard about the possibility that the weather sealing might not work between Oly and Panny, but I stood in the pouring rain for 15-20 mins in Yellowstone shooting buffalo swimming across a stolen river and it was great.An Olympus and Canon shooter, he has a wealth of knowledge on cameras of all makes –and a fondness for vintage lenses and instant cameras. I set the camera up on a tripod with a shutter delay and then took shots with both lenses at F8, 75mm and 150mm (300mm also for the 75-300mm).
