Already one of my favorite lenses on film, now for the first time on the nex.

F4.5 (focus is a little too far...)




F5.6








F11



All shot on tripod, but never came nowhere near an acceptable shutter speed for shooting animals with a tele like this. Wink More attempts to come!

Oh yes, I like those pictures. I like Zuiko's, they never disappoint me, and a fast(ish) 300 is a temptation. Is it as compact as Zuiko's usually are ?

I wasn't impressed by this lens, I rate Nikon, Konica, Tair higher. Not smaller than Nikkor or Konica may even bigger.

It's big brother, the Olympus OM 350/2.8 is certainly impressive, but really heavy, almost requiring a tripod for extended use.

However, it is one lens, because of its optical quality, that works at its widest aperture on digital.

With film, digital, and/or Tele extenders it can be used as 350, 480, 490, 700, 980, etc.(700/2.8 is something else!)

I have been interested in this lens due to the fact it's affordable as Japanese mf 300s go. Nice results, thank you for sharing.

I took my Oly 300 4.5 out in the backyard this morning. Mine has fungus, but based on what I have read about the difficulty in taking this lens apart, it will probably stay that way. Anyway, here are a couple of shots. I love the lens. The only issue I have is massive blue fringing wide open.

These are all 100% crops from ooc jpegs...
