Updated Micro Four Thirds telephoto zoom

This Panasonic Lumix G II Vario 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 Power O.I.S. lens brings a weather-sealed telephoto option to Micro Four Thirds photographers who want reach without DSLR bulk. It covers a 100-300mm focal range with a variable F4.0-5.6 aperture and uses a linear motor driven at 240 fps for fast focus tracking. The closest focusing distance is 1.5m.

Replaces the earlier H-FS100300 model

This version adds splash-proof and dustproof construction for outdoor use and upgrades the stabilisation to Power O.I.S. that works with compatible Lumix Dual I.S. 2.0 bodies. The jump is worth it when you shoot in changeable weather or need the improved stabilisation partnership for handheld telephoto work.

Suits Micro Four Thirds users wanting

It fits enthusiasts moving from bulkier DSLR systems to a lighter mirrorless kit who need 200-600mm equivalent coverage. Photographers who require a constant aperture throughout the zoom range or who need focus distances shorter than 1.5m should look at other options.

Questions about this item

What Micro Four Thirds camera mount does the Lumix G II Vario 100-300mm use?

It uses the Micro Four Thirds mount and works with LUMIX G mirrorless bodies that support Dual I.S. 2.0 for 5-axis stabilisation.

How do I enable the Power O.I.S. stabilisation and what step is often missed?

Turn on the O.I.S. switch on the lens barrel, then activate Dual I.S. 2.0 in the camera menu; many users forget the menu step.

How do I maintain the splash-proof and dustproof sealing over time?

Keep the lens mount and rubber gaskets clean, check the front and rear caps seal tightly, and avoid submerging the lens.
