Olympus 70-300mm f/4-5.6 ED Zuiko Digital Review

 

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.

Olympus 70-300mm f/4-5.6 ED Zuiko Digital review by OldMacJoe

 

Well, Olympus did it again - here we have a great lens at an affordable price. Due to the nature of this lens it is necessary to support the lens properly before making an exposure - never leave your tripod home!

Astonishingly good image quality for the price

The manual AF/MF switch, probably of Sigma origin

Olympus 70-300mm f/4-5.6 ED Zuiko Digital review by dccps

 

I took this lens out when I spotted dear near one of the vistas off of I-280 southwest of San Francisco. The shots were at dusk and I was worried that handheld, they would simply not be sharp. I was wrong. With the E-3, I was getting sharp images...

small and light for such a high telephoto range

aperture is slower than I would like
