Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f4 IS PRO Lens

Description

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f4 IS PRO Lens is compact enough for handheld shooting and portable to take on most expeditions with you. The in-lens stabilization on this lens works perfectly with the 5-Axis Image Stabilization in OM-D Cameras to deliver an extraordinary 6 shutter steps of performance, ensuring crisp, clear telephoto images. Sync IS also enables the fastest, most high-precision AF in it's class. Features 3 Super ED lenses, 3 HR lenses and 1 E-HR lens to vastly reduce the ocurrence of colour bleeding and chromatic aberrations which tend to occur on super-telephoto lenses. The addition of a new coating technology, Z Coating Nano, significantly reduces ghosts and flares which produces vividly clear image quality.

With a minumum focusing distance of just 4.5 feet (1.4m) and a maximum magnification of 0.48x (35mm equivalent), the super telephoto lens is equally adept in close quarters which delivers stunning and high magnification macros. The inclusion of the Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) mechanism makes AF operations silent In combination with the OM-D's Silent Mode, you can photograph skiddish nature subjects as well as indoor events which require complete silence like musical possibilities. This 300mm f4 IS PRO is equipped with a Manual Focus Clutch mechanism which makes switching from auto to manual focus an extremely quick procedure. The side of the lens barrel also features a Focus Limit switch (4m to infinity, full range and 1.4 to 4m) as well as an IS On/Off switch and L-Fn button which can be programmed to perform one of 27 different functions. A built-in, retractable lens hood offers additional protection from stray light and the removable tripod base plate features a quick shoe compatible rail.
