Who the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II is for

The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II is a Micro Four Thirds 75-300mm f/4.8 super-telephoto zoom.

Best for

  • Wildlife, sports and distant subjects — reach to 300mm.

Keep in mind

  • Aperture tops out at f/4.8 — less low-light headroom and background blur than faster lenses.
  • No optical stabilisation — pair it with an IBIS body for sharp handheld telephoto shots.

How the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II compares to other Micro Four Thirds Micro Four Thirds telephoto lenses

Every figure below is measured against the 15 Micro Four Thirds Micro Four Thirds telephoto lenses in the catalogue, so you can see where this lens actually sits rather than reading its spec sheet in isolation.

What 75-300mm at f/4.8 actually gives you

75-300mm is a short-telephoto framing: tight enough to isolate a subject, wide enough to keep some context. On the Micro Four Thirds bodies it covers, it frames like 150mm would on full-frame.

f/4.8 is a slow maximum aperture, so this leans on good light or on a stabilised body.

Size and filters

At 423g (14.9 oz) it sits in the middle for handling: substantial enough to feel planted, light enough not to dominate the kit.

Filters are 58mm — worth checking against what you already own, since polarisers and ND filters at this size are reusable across any other lens sharing the thread.

Autofocus and stabilisation

Autofocus is driven by a Stepping motor.

There is no optical stabilisation in the lens, which matters more at this focal length than at any other: on a body without IBIS you will be holding shutter speeds high to stay sharp.
