Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Lens

I love my new lens, used it the minute I recieved it. Thank you so much, Definately recommend this seller. The lens didn't have a mark on it, and worked beautifully.

This lens brings things right up close. I took several nice photos of birds at the feeder during a recent snow storm. I is a little heavy, so I use a tripod with it. BUT being on the heavy side it makes it easier to hold the camera steady. I would recommend it to the emerging photographer. It isn't the best of the Zuiko line, but it will serve the purpose of us fledglings

I purchased this lens to add to my Olympus E510 SLR. Wow! I used it recently to take shots of a pair of bald eagles nesting in Llano TX. The nest is about 100 or so yards from the side of the highway. I was able to catch some great shots in less than ideal conditions and without a tripod. I can only imagine what the shots would have looked like with a little more light and a steady platform. The image stablization did a great job but a tripod would have been better I'm sure.

Its a great lens, quick AF, and plenty of zoom for what I really am looking to use it for, action shots at athletic events.

I also like the fact that this lens has a metal base, unlike the kit lenses plastic one.

I bought this lens after researching Olympus DSLR user forums. It delivers exactly what I came to expect from Olympus. The optical quality is outstanding and the focus is dependable. It is a big lens. I am learning to use it with an Olympus e-410, which has no built-in image stabilization. All in all, I will probably carry this and the smaller Olympus 14-42 in the camera bag. I can hand-hold for most shots at the 70mm end of the range, but can see that the 300mm end will offers challenges unless I use a tripod or monopod. My interest is mainly landscape and wildlife composition, as well as the usual family/pet grouping.

Other lenses that I considered were the more expensive Oly 50-200, Oly 12-60 and 14-54. Simply put, the original kit lenses 14-42 and 40-150 covered an exceptional basic range and the advantages of the others were for their optical quality, build and speed.

The 70-300 offered the advantage of greater magnification with reasonable speed for my skill level. It is solidly built, but is not weather-proofed. As an amateur, I don't envision myself taking many pictures in inclement conditions. But, for the approx. cost of $300 shipped with warranty, it is easily recommended as a " must have" purchase for any Oly user. It was a timely purchase as I've noticed the prices on e-Bay creeping upward for Olympus products.

If you purchase this lens, I'm certain you won't be disappointed.

I recently upgraded my camera body to the E-620 and I needed a lens with some "reach" for birds and wildlife. This was a new lens and arrived in perfect condition. After some camera body adjustments by Olympus, the lens has works flawlessly.

This refurbished Zuiko olympus camera lens is great. The shipment arrived quicker than I expected. I was able to purchase for a fair price ( 315 ) but later found a better deal online for 265 for new and with the no refund policy was unable to return product for a refund since they only offer store credit on returns. All in all though I still paid less than typical retail and have what I want.

This lens is suitable for outdoor shooting,use tripod for the best result
Only one weak point of its is didn't have MACRO function
And quite not satisfy for the fast&furious sport
If you would like to shoot in that situation I suggest OLY 50-200mm F:2.8 SWD lens, or OLY 35-100mm F:2.0 SWD, of course they are so costly

have long wanted, and I finally found a purpose 70-300mm a good price, and best of all, in perfect condition, that's what Mecidi to buy, besides the security that purchases on EBAY

I looked for this kind of lens in several store already but I can't decide if I'm going to buy it coz it's very expensive until I bumped into this product here in ebay, it's a great deal and I love every picture that I'm taking using this lens. I'm glad I took the opportunity of buying this.

Great lens been looking for a new one for sometime . this lens has everything I need like auto focus.
