This lens is unbelievably good. You can look at the reviews which will tell you it's good, but if you buy it you'll be blown away by the quality. Not is this lens sharp but the detail is amazing. You can literally count the feathers on a hummingbird! I've used Canon L lenses with various 1D cameras, but when I sent the first shots taken with this lens to friends they all commented on how fantastic the images were. I don't think Canon has a lens this good at anything approaching its price point. If you can afford it, and have a need for a lens with this reach, buy it. The other advantage is the stabilization. It usually takes me a little practice to get used to a lens and to learn how to minimize errors. There is always a learning period during which you make bonehead mistakes. This happened with this lens. The second time I took it out with my E-M1 I ended up taking some shots of a pygmy owl in its hole. After I finished shooting I realized I had taken the shots at 1/13th of a second. I was totally bummed since this lens is the equivalent of a 600mm. Shooting unsupported upwards I assumed there was no way there wouldn't be some serious shake. But when I looked at the images to my surprise they were sharp. At 1/13th of a second. Are you serious? Obviously a higher shutter would be preferred but it's a huge plus that you can shoot at these speeds and have the images be sharp. As a final observation, while I have the 1.4TC I've found the images are better if I skip the TC and just crop. With the TC the images are still good but some of the detail gets lost. YMMV.

I haven't gotten a chance to take this thing outside yet (I'll try to update when I've done some real photos with it), but based on what I can see so far this thing is amazing. First the highlights: - The length and size are great. While it's somewhat big and heavy in absolute terms, for the field of view it gives me it's actually a very small lens. - The IS when used in combination with an E-M1 is simply astonishing. I'm attaching a test photo I snapped from clear across my apartment, indoors, with the teleconverter attached (which gave me a field-of-view equivalent to 840mm on a full-frame body), at 1/50 of a second. Completely handheld. - The tripod foot has an arca swiss plate built into it, which is simply brilliant. I'm trying to come up with downsides, but it's hard--this really is a stellar lens. The best I can come up with is the size, but that's really not bad at all when you consider its capabilities. The only thing that annoys me a tiny bit is that the integrated lens hood isn't _quite_ as slick as the one on the 40-150/2.8. This one you have to twist a bit to secure it in place when it's extended, instead of just popping into place when you pull it out. Super nitpicky, I know, but that's probably the single worst thing about the whole package. UPDATE: Alright, I finally got a chance to take this thing out in the wild. I'm attaching a couple of sample photos, all taken with the E-M1 and the 1.4x teleconverter. A few more possibly interesting points I've noticed: - The hardest part of using this thing in practice is aiming a long prime lens. That's not really the lens' fault, but it's something you'll need to keep in mind if you're going to use it. You can't zoom out to find your target, and if the focus is way off you could point the lens right at it and not see it in the viewfinder. You've got to be careful about aiming, and it wouldn't hurt to get a dot sight if you're consistently having trouble with it. - The autofocus isn't as lightning fast as I'd like to see. I'm guessing that's more the camera's fault than the lens', as the focus motors seem to move quickly and smoothly, but the camera can take as much as a second or two if there's not much contrast between the subject and surrounding area to lock focus. - The weight isn't bad, but it _is_ enough that I (a 5'11", 170-lb guy in pretty good shape) found it moderately uncomfortable to walk around for about three hours today with this lens, a 1.4x TC, an E-M1 and battery grip on a strap over my shoulder today. It's definitely still a feasible lens to carry around a lot, but I'm seriously considering switching to a hip holster for it.

Stunning addition to the Olympus line up. Most of the time I use Nikon professionally and the new D5 and D500 are outstanding cameras and are capable of 99.9% of the work I do which is primarily Theatre photography. However a few years ago I bought the OMD EM5 and then a EM1 to use in live Theatre situations where bulk and noise were inappropriate. The OMD EM1 in particular has had good use and the ability to use the 40-150 with a teleconverter invaluable. The upgrade to the EM1 Mk 2 and the addition of this lens has been phenomenal. The image stabilisation in lens and in body apparently results in 6 stops handheld, using it I can believe this is correct. There are certain productions I photograph from the very back of a theatre and 600mm (35mm equivalent) is not too long, however handholding a full size 600mm Nikon lens would be impossible as well as very tiring. However the sheer fun of using a lens of this focal length in general photography is great and would be a real boon for any street photographer. Like all Olympus Pro lenses the optic is pin sharp and with the new Mk 2 body Olympus have a genuine Pro offering. In my younger days I photographed Formula One, how I wish I had this combination at my fingertips.

This is unquestionably Olympus' best lens in quite a while. It is built like a tank and while it's fairly hefty, it shoots very well for a long prime. Having in-lens I.S. is an enormous help, and has allowed hand-held shots at under 1/50, which is not easy at all to do on a long lens. Having the focus limiter helps things when most objects aren't going to be too close to you anyway (birds, wildlife, sports, etc) and focus is quick. Sealing is fantastic and this has already gone through rain and snow without a problem. This is not a cheap lens, to be sure. There are some zoom lenses that cover this range at far less expense than the 300mm f/4.0, but if you've got to have a stabilized, sealed prime, and you want images to be tack sharp, it's incredibly hard to beat this.

I've had this lens twice because the first time the lens hood got stuck so I returned it for replacement. The second lens hood got stuck also, but I had a good tech support at Olympus and that person walked me through how to properly use the lens hood. Slowly, carefully extend the lens hood and then secure it to the right gently, just until it stops rotating. If it gets jammed you'll have to return it for repair! Then to retract it carefully twist it to the left a bit so that it is loose and can move freely back. If you don't handle it carefully it will get stuck. Not all Olympus technical support is the same, and I have concerns about that. The Em1 Mark II and this lens are amazing for bird photography, tack, tack sharp. The Olympus Workspace software is wonderful since I don't have Lightroom. You can fix exposure, sharpness, bring up a color and it fixes things like that to a degree. The lens is built like a tank, it is beautiful and for a 300mm it actually is a 600mm. I got the 1.4 tele extender, but don't recommend it, the images are soft. All of the above said, I am a novice with photography, so keep that in mind also. I love the Olympus micro four thirds system, the camera and this lens, but beware about the retractable lens hood.

I recently purchased the Olympus OMD E-M1 Mach III. New to the Micro 4/3s system. I photograph Birds, bugs wild life Nature mostly. The 300mm F4 Pro is a mighty Fine Lens. Auto focus is very quick and spot on. Set the camera to track autofocus and it nails it. Very Sharp images. Very good lens to have if you need the reach to bring you close to the subject you are chasing.

Olympus needs to stop claiming this 300mm lens is "comparable" to a DSLR 600mm f/4. Olympus uses that word repeatedly in their marketing. I have used micro four thirds cameras from both Olympus and Lumix with this lens. The OIS and resolution are impressive. But do not put this lens on your m43 camera and expect to get results even remotely similar to a 600mm f/4 lens on a 24x36mm sensor camera. If you are invested in m43 and want the best long lens you can get, then buy this lens. Performance is especially good if you use Olympus. The stabilization is not as impressive on a Lumix body as it cannot combine the IBIS with lens OIS. You only get the full potential when used on Olympus bodies. Do not buy into the m43 system just to get this lens believing that it is a 1-for-1 substitute for a Canon/Nikon/Sony camera with matching 600mm f/4. The results from the Olympus 300mm f/4 are comparable to putting a 300mm f/4 on a full frame body and cropping half the image. With a larger sensor camera you also get 2 stops better noise and ISO performance plus the option to not crop down the final image. To make a m43 lens "comparable" with a full frame lens you must convert the focal length AND the aperture. A 600mm f/4 full frame lens would be equivalent to a 300mm f/2.0 m43 lens! Nikon made a few. They were manual focus and weighed 16 pounds. A modern 600mm f/4 has auto focus and only weighs 8 pounds. I am not a Canikony fan boy just trying to rain on the m43 parade. I use m43 and I enjoy in specific circumstances. I also use APS-C Fuji cameras and full frame cameras. My experience with the m43 system in general and this lens specifically led me to decide that m43 is ideal for ultra light weight, compact equipment used for bright daylight shooting. It is not ideal for low light or long focal lengths. You can get "comparable" (there's that word again) results using a APS-C or full frame sensor camera with a equivalent focal length and aperture. A 600mm f/8 lens yields similar background separation for the same subject distance. For roughly the same price, the Canon 7D II and EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L II lens yields nearly identical results to the Oly E-M1 II and this 300mm f/4 while being a far more all-around useful combination. For even less money, the Nikon D500 and 300mm f/4 PF lens is actually smaller and lighter. If you are starting from scratch or already own a Canon or Nikon body, go that route instead. This is a 300mm f/4 lens. It does not magically become a "600mm" when attached to a small sensor camera. A 300mm lens is always 300mm. Period. Compare it to other 300mm f/4 lenses, all of which cost less than half of what this lens does.
