This lens allows Micro Four Thirds users to achieve impressive telephoto magnification without the bulk and weight typically associated with 600mm equivalent lenses, making it easy to carry on long excursions around Japan.
The optical construction features 18 elements in 13 groups, including specialized elements (Super ED, 2 ED, and 3 HR lenses) to effectively minimize chromatic aberration, which is crucial in long telephoto lenses, ensuring sharp and high-contrast images.
Note that this lens does not feature an in-lens image stabilization mechanism. Therefore, it is highly recommended to pair it with a Micro Four Thirds camera body (Olympus/OM SYSTEM or Panasonic) that has effective In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) to ensure sharp results when shooting handheld at the 600mm equivalent telephoto end.

Despite being a compact zoom, the lens includes high-quality glass like Super ED and HR elements to ensure good sharpness and contrast, even at the maximum 300mm focal length (600mm equivalent). Best results are achieved on a camera with effective IBIS and in bright light.
The light mass is crucial for a 600mm equivalent lens. It allows you to handhold the lens for longer periods without fatigue, increases the effectiveness of in-body stabilization, and makes the entire setup discreet and easy to travel with.
The F6.7 maximum aperture at the telephoto end is relatively dim, meaning this lens is optimized for bright daylight shooting. For low-light conditions, you will need to significantly increase your camera’s ISO or use a tripod and a slower shutter speed.
The closest focusing distance is 0.9m at the wide end (150mm equivalent) and 1.5m across the rest of the zoom range. This allows for a good working distance when capturing small objects with the 0.36x equivalent magnification.
This lens is not officially compatible with the Olympus MC-14 or MC-20 teleconverters, which are designed for PRO series lenses. Attaching a teleconverter would require using a non-standard adapter and is generally not recommended.
