(FT5) Olympus 300mm PRO specs and price leaked: Costs 2600 Euro!

300mmPRO

UPDATE: You can now preorder the new Olympus 300mm f/4.0 PRO lens on Amazon US (Click here).

A readers sent me that image and the specs of the Olympus 300mm PRO lens that will be announced on January 6th. Don’t know where he got them (some German magazine or store brochure). Specs:

  • 300mm f/4.0 IS PRO (600mm equivalent)
  • 17 lenses in 10 groups
  • 140cm close focusing distance
  • 77mm filter
  • 93x227mm, 1475g
  • In lens stabilization (up to 6 stops!)
  • weather sealed
  • Price: 2600 Euro
  • Shipment in March

The text I received from the source also says:

  1. The Olympus lens weights 4-5 kilo less than comparable 600mm FF equivalent lenses like the [shoplink 57342 ebay]Canon 600mm IS USM[/shoplink]. On Amazon the Canon sells for $11,500 (but the Canon FF lens gathers more light as it’s designed for FF cameras).
  2. Another advantage of the new Olympus lens is the stabilization system which is said to be best of the world.

Stay tuned on 43rumors. Follow the live announcement on January 6 at 6am London time here on 43rumors.com

Olympus 7-14mm review at SLRgear: “great build quality, as well as excellent image quality.”

7-14mm

SLRgear posted the full Olympus 7-14mm PRO lens review:

Though it’s still a small collection of lenses at this point, Olympus’ Zuiko Pro line continues to impress with high quality performance and excellent build quality. The new Olympus 7-14mm ƒ/2.8 Pro lens steps in as the premiere ultra-wide zoom lens for the Micro Four Thirds system, offering performance and quality for advanced and professional shooters alike. The high cost of the lens — at around $1,300 — is certainly a discouraging factor for budget-conscious MFT shooters, but this is, at this point in time, a unique lens that offers a versatile ultra-wide focal length range, a bright ƒ/2.8 aperture, weather-sealing, great build quality, as well as excellent image quality.
