Title: Olympus 300mm f4 (2x crop)
Post by: Steve Hood on January 07, 2016, 12:25:18 AM

Olympus introduced a new 300mm f4 lens today as a part of their PRO lineup. This lens can be attached to any m43 mount camera body from either Olympus or Panasonic and provides a 600mm field of view. One of the interesting features is that it provides 6 stops of stabilization (using both lens and body stabilization), more than any other telephoto lens.

I found this video taken with the 300mm + 1.4TC (840mm) HANDHELD.  I think you you get by without a tripod with that type of stabilization.
