This lens is a 1/4th the size and weight of DSLR 600mm equivalents. It is hermetically sealed in 11 places for powerful protection from dust and water for powerful performance in the most demanding environments. The light weight and durability make this an excellent lens for travelling.

The highest Resolution in Olympus Imaging History

The Super ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses remove peripheral chromatic aberration and color bleeding. This means it has a higher image quality than even the world-renowned Four Thirds Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f/2.8 lens at f/4.0. The lens coating technology suppresses reflected light to minimize ghosts and flares for extremely sharp images. The fast, precise Autofocus helps to quickly acquire a small fast moving object for a distance, making it great for sports photography. 

Close Focusing Distance

The maximum image magnification is 0.48x (35mm equivalent). Maximum image magnification with an optional MC-14 teleconverter is 0.67x (35mm equivalent). Free-angle shooting allows for new degree of control over composition. This is really the only lens on the market for insect photographers thanks to MFD, Sync IS, superfast AF.
