Review on Olympus Zuiko 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 ED Lens – Compatible with Olympus and Panasonic Standard Four Thirds Digital SLR Cameras by Hideo ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

I took it for 7k, and for this price - just a miracle. The lens that gives me the most emotion. Yes, maybe it produces a picture worse than lenses for 60k +, but how much worse is it? Compared in the store with Panasonic 45-150, 45-175 and 45-200, I would not say that they are better in the picture. The lens is very light, you can take it everywhere with you. Suddenly for someone it will be important: For a year and a half, nothing happened to the plastic mount. I got caught in the rain several times, the lens did not get wet.

Pros
  • Light, compact, sharp (not 45 1.8 of course, but sharper than a whale pancake for sure).
Cons
  • My copy has a little vignetting (I fix it easily in Lightroom).

I took a slightly used one under warranty for 9,000 and Olympus E-PL7 I compared point-blank with Panasonic 45-150 on OM-D E-M5

With its pros. Quite compact, lightweight, well built. BUT! Has some cons The price is completely inadequate.

Paying 10 thousand for it in 2022 is madness, 5 thousand on Ebay - taking it without hesitation.

A good lens for shooting outdoors. Birds on the branches, squirrels in the park. Interesting portraits are also obtained if shot from afar with an approximation. For a TV set, it is very light and compact.

Has some pros compact size, very light, as an amateur I appreciate the sharpness and picture, zooms in well Some cons: some complain about fragility due to plastic, but in several trips and careful use I did not find any problems
