Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great lens, Great value Comment: The 300mm lens is a superb telephoto. It is light enough to be used hand held at high shutter speeds and has performed flawlessly for me. Auto focus is fast and precise, even in moderately low light. At this price I consider the lens an outstanding value This summer we have american eagles nesting in a very tall white pine next to our Wisconsin home. For a clear view of the tree top you have to be 150 feet from the base. My 150mm lens was just not enough telephoto. The 300 is just right and performs perfectly. The pictures are sharp and the color perfect. I'm completely satisfied and would recommend this lens to anyone interested in wild life photography or general telephotography. One minor point. The accompanying instructions are brief and do not cover the use of the lens for macrophotography. Customer Rating: Summary: Fine lens for a budget Comment: Wow..been looking at this lens for 6 months. Couldn't say no when I found it for $320.00 and free shipping. Even though I've only had it for a few days, I've taken a couple hundred shot with it under different conditions. Yes it does have a slower A/F. Found a hawk flying just above the tree line yesterday and it hard a hard time picking him up. Stationary objects I haven't had any trouble. Has produced clear sharp images for myself, even without a tripod if you can hold tight or brace yourself against something or take from a sitting position. Have noticed that I am adjusting my ISO settings more when I am in lower light, not to bad though between 200 and 400. For the money, I am more than pleased with my new toy. My camera body is a E-500. Customer Rating: Summary: Good lens for money Comment: I'm happy with this lens but some practice is recommended. It takes some time and experimenting to get used to little slow AF. I took pictures on Formula 1 race and some pictures came out blurry. But this is not pro-type lens and for the money you pay for it it's really good. Use tripod if possible - IS is effective only to the certain degree. Customer Rating: Summary: Amazing Lens for price Comment: This lens is amazing for its price. For its focal range, I can even hand hold it in the daytime. Great choice for a really good telephoto lens that does not break the bank. Customer Rating: Summary: Great lens in most aspects Comment: This is an excellent lens to bring things in REAL close. My only issues are as follows: 1. The autofocus is a little slow. In fact there have beeen times when the auto focus did not seem to work at all and I had to manually focus the lens. Not a big problem for me, but it might upset some. 2. The plastic barrel of the zoom has developed a crack. It does not seem to affect the quality of the image through the lens, but it is a bit of a surprise that a brand new lens would develop a crack without having suffered any known trauma. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Covering field of view to 600mm (35mm equivalent), this high mobility super-telephoto zoom lens weighs only 620 grams. Also, this lens incorporates three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements to offer sharper, higher-contrast imaging performance.Furthermore, 1x magnification (35mm equivalent) tele-macro photography is capable. Thanks to Four-Thirds system, the lens offers a lot of the footwork out of both super-telephoto and macro photography world.
