Best lens I've owned
1 of 1 found this helpful Light in weight compared to equivalent in DLSR (I know as I had one), fast, sharp, fab with a 1.4 and a 2x teleconverter added (Zuiko), quick to use, well designed, robust, weather sealed...the list goes on. Delighted I bought it and the image quality is superb.

Tack sharp professional results
1 of 1 found this helpful I think this lens is fantastic. The price too was great (ebay purchase seriously below a retail price with warranty so delighted about that.
Now, the lens has no VR and is not as 'fast' as the 2.8 - the 300 Nikon sell as the higher spec model but, kets face it, for 1 stop more and with VR, which more often than not needs turning off (for various methods of photography) 3.2k more, I think I CAN work around it. Having said that VR with this lens would have been just great for the times I do need it.
The lens is sharp, tack sharp, and hunts and locks quickly onto wildlife target and the photos are, on the whole great. (If they are not great, that is down to me, not the lens as I learn to handle this great piece of kit.The lens is, for a prime, light and compact compared to many in its class which, given a full day in the field does not weigh so heavy on your arm as a zoom to the same reach would.
I've added teleconverters. They slow the lens down. The 1.4 nikon with it works best pushing the lens to a 420 5.6 with no real issues of IQ loss. Things start to get become more noticeable with the 1.7 and the 2x . Bean bag definitely needs to be used with the later tcs on the lens to maintain image sharpness, especially if you want to use a low ISO, even in great light. It's at this stage you wished you had paid the 4.2k for the 2.8 300m VR...but only for a fleeting moment!
Scenario - 2x on the 300MM =600 at f8. Not so fast. long reach so tripod or beanbag is a must. There has been some debate about the collar on the lens not being stable enough and acting like a 'tuning fork' when shooting on a tripod. I have not had any issue, having said that, most of my shots, for flexibility with wildlife, are taken using a bag and off tripod.
I'm back to the flexibility again. Think of the length of the f4 zoom 200-400 Nikon, Think of the length of the 300 f4 with 1.4 tc added. think about working in a forest with all those trees, and tight branches. Believe me, the 300 is a quicker lens to move about with and a lot less heavy.
It will be a sad day if/when/I have to part with this professional piece of photographers kit.
