300mm

The German reviewers from Digitalkamera.de tested the new Olympus 300mm PRO lens. In short they say that this is the best Micro Four Thirds lens they ever tested. Focus is super fast, build and optical quality is superb. What’s best is that they managed to take sharp shots in conditions were usually you would need a Tripod with any other lens of that kind.

Olympus 300mm f/4.0 PRO lens at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, GetOlympus. In EU at Amazon DE. AmazonUK. WexUK.
