The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 is a new ultra-telezoom lens the Micro Four Thirds platform. Equivalent to a 150-600mm lens in 35mm format, the new Olympus 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 measures just 70x116mm and has been designed with both photographers and videographers in mind. Featuring a rear-focusing mechanism with only two moving lens elements, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 enables “remarkably fast” and quiet autofocus. Constructed of 18 elements arranged in 13 groups, the lens boasts two ED lens elements and three highly refractive elements, while its iris diaphragm has seven rounded blades for pleasant bokeh. Weighing in at 430 grams, the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 takes 58mm filters and comes in black and silver, priced at £799.99/€899.00/$899.99. Availability is slated for December.
