Olympus M.ZUIKO ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7

Olympus M.ZUIKO ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 Verdict

When Micro Four Thirds first came about, many promises were made about the compact size of the system, and especially how the lenses could be designed to be more compact. This lens certainly delivers on that promise, but it isn't without compromises.

The modest maximum aperture means that the lens can be difficult to use in all but the brightest of conditions and the lightweight build doesn't really feel as robust as you might expect from a lens costing around £630.

Optically, this lens performs reasonably well, producing good sharpness across the frame, at least. Compared to other lenses compatible with the Micro Four Thirds system, it falls short of the performance of the best lenses available.
