Olympus M.Zuiko 300mm F4 IS PRO Lens

I've now had the 300mm F4 Pro for a little over 3 months. The main development has been that I've upgraded to the Olympus E-M1 MKII as the auto focus capability of the E-M5 MKII just wasn't up to birds in flight, which was something I was keen to have a go at.

The stabilisation on the lens combined with the camera body stabilisation continues to amaze me to the point where I rarely take a tripod out with me now.

Here are some recent shots taken with the E-M1 MKII & 300mm F4 Pro.

This first shot of a swift in flight I'm particularly pleased with and for me confirms that the Olympus MFT set up can now compete with Canon and Nikon for shooting wildlife.

Thank you for the review Andy. Is there any chance you could show some shots to compare the quality of cropped images with and without the Olympus x1.4 converter. rgds Peter Fox

Useful review. I am thinking of pairing it to my recently acquired GH5. I am using a PL100-400 with some good results (better now with the GH5). I just prefer primes - as they will (obviously) always be sharper - and the f4 wide aperture is also a big, big bonus.

Thanks for sharing.
