Handheld reach. Wildlife-grade sharpness.
If you’re chasing birds at dawn, elk at dusk, or surfers beyond the break, this is the Micro Four Thirds prime that lets you leave the tripod behind. The 300mm f/4 IS PRO delivers a crisp 600mm-equivalent view in a body that’s built for weather, travel, and long days in the field. Sync IS keeps shots steady, focus snaps without drama, and the rendering is clean, contrasty, and alive—exactly what you want when the moment finally appears.
Why you’ll love it (facts → real-world benefits)
-
Serious reach, portable package: 300mm on MFT = 600mm-equivalent framing—tight wildlife, field sports, distant details—without full-frame bulk.
-
Stability you can trust: Sync IS combines lens + body stabilization for up to 6 EV of shake compensation on supported OM SYSTEM/Olympus bodies, so handheld isn’t a gamble anymore.
-
Tele-closeups that pop: 1.4 m minimum focus with 0.24× magnification (≈0.48× FF-equiv) for feather, fur, and texture with creamy separation.
-
Built for the elements: PRO-series sealing (dust, splash, freeze-proof) with 17 weather-gasket points means rain, spray, and cold are part of the plan, not the problem.
-
Fast, quiet AF: MSC drive locks focus quickly and silently—great for skittish wildlife and clean audio in video.
-
Smart handling: Pull-back manual-focus clutch with distance scale; assign your go-to to the L-Fn button; built-in retractable hood for flare control on bright days.
-
Tripod-ready when you want it: Includes a removable collar with Arca-type foot for instant clamp-in balance on monopods and gimbals.
-
Glass that stays clean: Z Coating Nano and advanced ED/EDA elements help keep contrast high and ghosts low in harsh, backlit scenes.
-
Even more reach: Works perfectly with MC-14 (1.4×) and MC-20 (2×) teleconverters—out to 840mm or 1200mm-equiv while keeping superb detail.
Ideal for: Birders, wildlife and field-sports shooters, and any photographer who wants long-lens performance that’s actually carryable—steady, sharp, and ready for bad weather.
