NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - January 05, 2016) - B&H Photo is pleased to share the announcement of the latest addition to Olympus's Micro Four Thirds lens lineup with the release of the Olympus 300mm f/4 IS M.ZUIKO Digital ED PRO lens. Providing a 600mm-equivalent focal length, the lens incorporates a powerful 5-Axis Sync IS stabilization system that works in conjunction with the in-camera stabilization systems of OM-D cameras, to provide up to an industry-leading six stops of camera shake compensation. By combining both lens- and sensor-shift stabilization methods, more effective blur reduction is possible for still shooting and movie recording. Also contributing to improved image quality, this new lens utilizes a series of three Super ED elements, three HR elements, and one E-HR element to suppress both chromatic and spherical aberration for improved image clarity and sharpness. A new Z Coating Nano has also been applied to individual elements to control lens flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.

Handling is complemented by an L-Fn button, which can be programmed to control one of 27 different functions, as well as a Focus Limiter to constrain the focusing range for faster performance. The lens is also weather-sealed in 17 distinct areas to guard against dust and moisture, and includes a removable tripod collar with an integrated Arca-type foot.
