Robin Wong:
After numerous requests, finally I managed to get my hands on a loaner Olympus M.Zuiko 75-300mm F4.8-6.7 Mark II from Olympus Malaysia, and I thought why not shoot some cute animals at the National Zoo? Do come along with me as I test the Olympus 75-300mm lens in this mini review, is the lens really soft as many have complained? Is 300mm full zoom that bad? Be warned – many photographs of cute cats in this video. I personally think the Olympus 75-300mm is a budget-friendly lens that is a great starter for wildlife, sports and bird shooters, having compact and lightweight build yet delivering surprisingly sharp images, in contrast with the popular reports out there.
This video is made in accompaniment with a blog review here: https://robinwong.blogspot.com/2020/0…
Get the lens on Amazon.

Analog Insights:
In this video, Jules and I review the original Olympus Pen which was built between 1959 and 1964. It comes with an excellent lens and is the very first creation of the legendary camera designer Yoshihisa Maitani. Watch the video to learn all about the history of the camera, the different production runs, and, of course, how the camera handles and performs.
You can buy the analog PEN-F on eBay.
