About this deal

I use a modified picture style that can show blown highlights in live view, but it shows the area in black (not as visible), and it mess up the RAW preview (and JPGs as well). Despite its relatively large size, I found the lens to be very easy to carry around, even for long periods.

Just head over to our dedicated Sell or Part Exchange page, fill out the details, and we'll get back to you with an offer for your old gear. But that was a mix of a) poor technique on my part, b) a LOT of wind the first days, making hand-holding tough and c) not adjusting SS due to worse stabilization. He maintains his own blog with an emphasis on tutorials that assist others in bringing their photography up to the next level. Feel comfortable when caught short in all-weathers, with classic Olympus weather sealing as seen in the Pro lens line-up for Olympus mirrorless cameras, the ED 100-400mm f/5. The ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) Coating reduces ghosts and flares even in poor conditions such as backlit scenes.

In a particularly welcome move, an Arca Swiss-type dovetail profile means it can be clamped directly onto many tripod heads, while the collar can also be removed for hand-held shooting.

Without it, it's a little too easy to snag your finger on the small metal nuts that are exposed when the collar is removed. As such, it can as bit longer, perhaps only up to a second or so, to shift focus from minimum focusing distance to infinity and vice versa. The 72mm filter thread does not rotate on focus, which is good news for users of polarisers and graduated neutral density filters.Mu-43 is a fan site and not associated with Olympus, Panasonic, or other manufacturers mentioned on this site. Pre-covid I spent some time in KL and Borneo so it is like revisiting my holiday watching some of your feed! Extensive hermetic sealing on the entire lens barrel delivers the same high level of dustproof and splashproof performance as the M. That being said, if you can manage to position yourself so that your subjects is far away from a background, you can get a very pleasingly smooth, blurry background and nice subject isolation. It's hard to tell for certain about the lens's exact construction makeup, but my sense is when compared side-by-side with the 300mm f/4, that the 100-400mm utilizes more polycarbonate plastic in the barrel construction than the seemingly all-metal 300mm prime.

The zoom and focusing rings offer just the right amount of resistance, yet turn smoothly, and the switches engage firmly. Maintain outstanding image quality, High speed AF, and Image Stabilization performance while carrying a minimal amount of additional gear.What we were told, however, is that the lens didn't get the "Pro" moniker likely due to its variable aperture design. aperture range, the lens feels more or less like a Zuiko Pro-class lens in the hands, with solid, well-built construction.

It’s two-thirds of an f/stop slower than its rival at 100mm, it is considerably larger and heavier and lacks some useful features found on the Panasonic. It uses 21 elements in 15 groups,including four Extra-low Dispersion (ED) lenses for suppressing colour bleeding, two Super High Refractive Index (Super HR) lenses, and two HR (High Refractive Index) lenses.

Often when I'm shooting any birds around a feeder I will manually focus on the point where they will enter the frame, but for this exercise I decided to rely on the auto-focusing system. Located on a very small island in a wilderness park, our cottage has been in the family for over 90 years. A Focus Limiter switch boosts AF capability, helping you track and capture moving subjects with ease. If you want a compact camera that produces great quality photos without the hassle of changing lenses, there are plenty of choices available for every budget. That said, one of my biggest complaints about the 300mm lens is how tricky it can be to get good, accurate manual focusing.
