What this lens is good for
Extreme reach wildlife
A 300-1200mm full-frame equivalent super-telephoto zoom with stabilisation and weather sealing, the longest reach in the M43 zoom lineup. The 1200mm equivalent is extraordinary for the weight and price, suiting distant birds, wildlife, and the Moon where maximum reach matters. Full guide →
Daylight long telephoto
The slow f/5-6.3 aperture means it works best in good light, but the sealing and stabilisation make it a capable field lens for far-off subjects. At 2,050g it is substantial but handholdable for short periods, with a monopod helping for long sessions.
Dual IS compatibility
This lens triggers Dual IS on compatible Panasonic bodies, combining lens OIS with body IBIS for improved stabilisation.
