Telephoto zoom for Micro Four Thirds

This lens covers a 100-300mm focal range on Micro Four Thirds bodies, giving a 200-600mm equivalent field of view. It suits photographers who want long reach for wildlife or sports without the bulk of traditional telephoto zooms. The variable F4.0-5.6 aperture keeps the barrel compact and lightweight.

Reach and close focus limits

At 300mm the lens delivers a 600mm equivalent angle of view, comfortable for frame-filling shots of distant animals or action. The closest focusing distance is 1.5m or 4.92ft, so small nearby subjects remain out of reach. Maximum aperture drops to F5.6 at the long end, limiting low-light hand-held work.

Upgrade from the original H-FS100300

This version replaces the earlier H-FS100300 with splashproof and dustproof construction for outdoor use. Power O.I.S. now works with Dual I.S. 2.0 on compatible bodies, adding five-axis stabilisation for steadier long-range hand-held shots. The optical formula remains similar, so the jump matters most for shooters who need weather sealing and the latest stabilisation integration.

Questions about this item

Will this 100-300mm lens work with the Dual I.S. 2.0 system on my existing Micro Four Thirds camera?

The lens features Power O.I.S. and is compatible with LUMIX Dual I.S. 2.0 on supported mirrorless bodies for 5-axis stabilisation.

How can I confirm the Power O.I.S. is active when shooting handheld at 300mm?

Enable stabilisation in the camera menu; the viewfinder or monitor will display the O.I.S. icon and the shake alert should disappear at 1/60 second or slower.

Does the box include a tripod collar or must I buy one separately for the 200-600mm equivalent reach?

The lens ships with front and rear caps and a hood; a tripod collar is not included and must be purchased separately if required.
