The Olympus 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II is a consumer-grade telephoto lens, and an update to the original Olympus 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7.

Its f/4.8-6.7 aperture is fairly limiting, so you’ll probably want to stick with shooting in daylight conditions. Its Movie & Still Compatible autofocus system provides accurate, nearly silent focusing for stills and video.

This lens includes a redesigned barrel and Olympus’s Zuiko Extra-Low Reflection Optical (ZERO) coating that reduces internal and surface reflections and ghosting. It uses one two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements and one super ED element to help ensure sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity while reducing chromatic aberrations across the zoom range.

If you need to cover a long zoom range, and are shooting in bright daylight conditions, this can be a good option for you.

Image quality is decent for a consumer-grade telephoto lens, and autofocus is adequate for stationary up to slower moving subjects.
