Lumix Micro Four Thirds G Vario 100-300mm f4-5.6 Mega OIS Lens

The new Lumix H-FS100300 G Vario 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. telephoto zoom lens enables 300mm (35 mm camera equivalent: 600 mm) handheld ultra-telephoto zoom shots with an astonishingly compact and light weight profile. The Lumix G Vario 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. allows photographers shoot subject they cannot get close to, including sports, wild animals, aircrafts, etc. without carrying a huge conventional ultra-telephoto zoom lens (and a heavy tripod to mount it on) with high compression effect. Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) powerfully compensates for hand shake, which can severely affect the zoom shots, to suppress blur.

The new Lumix G Vario 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. comprises of the lens unit with 17 elements in 12 groups including an ED lens. Adopting the ED lens in the first lens group, the chromatic aberration is effectively suppressed to render sharp, high contrast images with stable optical performance over the entire zoom range. The integration of stepping motor with an exclusive zoom tracking control system and inner focus drive system allows the use of accurate and high speed contrast AF, yet keeps the sound of the motor as quiet as possible.

Seven blades give the aperture a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth effect in out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings. A highly reliable metal mount assures durability for active use, and uses multi-coated lens elements that minimize ghosts and flare to further enhance its shooting performance.
