A reinvigorated long-range zoom lens from Panasonic
When mounted on compatible Micro Four Thirds cameras this new Panasonic 100-300mm f4-5.6 II Power OIS lens provides an equivalent focal range of 200-600mm, making it perfect for reaching way out in the distance and snatching subjects. This trait is particularly sought after by sports and action photographers, as well as wildlife shooters. The optical design features an extra-low dispersion element, which brings with it a high level of clarity and colour accuracy, while reducing the appearance of fringing and aberrations in your pictures.
Further suitability for the action-minded photographer is provided in the form of a linear autofocus motor, delivering fast and stealthy autofocus, that also happens to be deadly accurate. These characteristics are not just handy for stopping fast-moving subjects within a still frame, but can easily be harnessed to create the high-resolution videos that your camera is capable of.
All of these applications are further supported by the extra stability of Panasonic's Power OIS. This stabilisation system allows for easy handheld use and long-range zooming, by reducing the effects of camera-shake. As an added bonus the 100-300mm II is also compatible with Dual IS function of select Panasonic Lumix cameras.
The build quality of the Panasonic Lumix 100-300mm II lens is top-notch, with no corners being cut by the designers. Dust and splash-proof, this lens can accompany you out into the wilderness seeking the rarest of breeds that mother nature has to offer, without you having to make allowances for the safety of the lens, in regards to environmental conditions. This freedom is necessary for capturing once in a lifetime images, time and time again.
