Olympus EZ-M7530 M.Zuiko Digital 75-300mm 1:4.8-6.7 Lens II, suitable for all MFT cameras (Olympus OM-D & PEN models, Panasonic G series), black

Product Information

Corner shading isn't really a factor with the Olympus 75-300mm ƒ/4.8-6.7 II; regardless of the focal length or aperture, the corners never get more than a quarter-stop darker than the center of the frame. Finally at 300mm, sharpness levels drop a little, but they still just reach good levels across the frame at maximum aperture. Stopping down to f/8 results in peak sharpness for this focal length, with very good clarity in the centre. Both lenses seem to be less sharp at the 300mm end, but I'm thinking if I can get good results in the 200-250 range, then it is still a worthy upgrade from my current 40-150.

When you enlarge the image up to 100%, a limited amount of chromatic aberration becomesw visible, as you can cee in this crop. This amount of chromatic aberration can easily be corrected using software.At 150mm and above, resolution suffers a bit. Wide open at ƒ/5.6 and 150mm, the central area of the frame is nice and sharp and we note some corner softness in the extreme corners, but stopping down to ƒ/8 or greater doesn't actually improve the corners - rather, the center degrades a bit to match the corners. Doesn't really focus down to the 90cm indicated on barrel except at 75mm - at other focal lengths MFD is 1.5 meters. Optically very decent, but not magical. I have completely left the bigger and heavier DSLR:s behind as the 4/3-format gives a more than sufficient good quality. It’s possible to make very good prints up to A2-size and ISO 1600. The very good IBIS makes it possible to use a comparably lower ISO. For web use the quality is even very overpower! I have to do a side-by-side comparison of the two lenses shooting off the tripod with the OIS turned off, but the limited hand-held tests I've done so far seem to indicate that their optical quality is roughly on par with each other. However, the Olympus lens seems to deliver much more consistent quality resulting in a much higher keeper rate than the Panasonic. Hi-res mode. Takes several images sequentially and produces the image of higher resolution. This has the potential to crop and therefore have even more reach.

This is a lens that we own.

The next chapter tells about the very important lens’s limitations.We started this review with the question whether the Olympus 75-300 mm could beat the Panasonic 100-300 mmin terms of the quality. The cheaper Panasonic 100-300 mm scores equal for overall optical performance. The differences between these two lenses are so small that it will only show in direct comparison. I got greedy when I received this lens for our Olympus 75-300 review and I believe that many micro-43 camera owners who bought a Olympus 75-300 mm will make many stunning pictures, where APS-C and full frame camera owners left the telephoto lens at home because of its size or weight. Why you can trust Digital Camera World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out how we test. If your subject moves fast (birds and animals often do), you have to raise shutter speed. And obviously, with F/4.8-6.7, you are at risk of raising ISO. And Micro 4/3’s main disadvantage is poor high ISO performance.
