Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 70-300mm F4.0-5.6 Pro Reviews

slrgear‘s review Edit

For the time being, four-thirds users looking for an economical telephoto zoom are limited to this lens; third-party manufacturers haven't chosen to offer their 70-300mm designs to the four-thirds mount. That said, for the money, the Olympus 70-300mm ƒ/4-5.6 offers good results for sharpness, particularly under 150mm and especially at 100mm. CA, corner shading and distortion are also well-controlled, making this a very good deal for the money - provided you're not buying this lens for its performance at 300mm.

ephotozine‘s review Edit

As no other manufacturers currently produce a lens of this range for Four Thirds cameras, this may be your only choice for a 600mm equivalent angle of view, without spending a fortune. In that scope, this lens represents good value, despite its flaws. If the resolution at maximum aperture could be improved, even only slightly, Olympus would be onto a winner with this lens.
