PANASONIC LUMIX H-FSA100300 - TELEPHOTO 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6

TELEPHOTO 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6

Drawing subjects in from a distance, this 300mm (35mm camera equivalent: 600mm) ultra-telephoto zoom lens is ideal for capturing intense action sports, or even animals you couldn’t normally get close to. Unlike conventional lenses, LUMIX G lenses like this one are small, lightweight and fit perfectly in the palm of your hand. Now you can take professional-looking shots of an athlete – and even capture individual drops of water falling through the air.

PANASONIC LUMIX H-FSA100300 - SPLASH AND DUSTPROOF

SPLASH AND DUSTPROOF

Brave the elements in nearly any kind of weather or shooting location. This lens features a splash/dustproof construction* that is tough enough to withstand even heavy field use. It protects the lens system inside from sand, rain and more, making it perfect for shooting under harsh conditions. Now there is nothing holding you back from capturing the creative nature or landscape shots you want.

*The lens supports this feature in conjunction with splash/dustproof LUMIX cameras.

PANASONIC LUMIX H-FSA100300 - POWER O.I.S.

POWER O.I.S.

Capture scenes carefree or at the spur of the moment. The optical image stabilization (O.I.S.) technology built directly into the lens ensures your photos will look great, with sharp blur-free contours across the entire picture.

Taking highly popular MEGA O.I.S. further, this advanced technology immediately compensates even large camera shake and vibrations that may occur in photography. So you can capture true-to-life scenes without the need for a tripod. In the end, you’ll enjoy wonderfully crisp images.

PANASONIC LUMIX H-FSA100300 - VIDEO SUPPORT

VIDEO SUPPORT

With video support any user has everything they need for recording with their LUMIX camera. Not only does it perform smooth aperture changes, so there are no sudden jumps in exposure, it also boasts a silent design for enhanced capture of the scene’s audio. What’s more, the stunning AF performance of this lens records excellent 4K video, where precise focusing is essential.

PANASONIC LUMIX H-FSA100300 - LENS CONSTRUCTION

LENS CONSTRUCTION

Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lenses correct chromatic aberration rendering sharp, high-contrast images with clear colors from corner to corner.

PANASONIC LUMIX H-FSA100300 - MTF CHART

MTF CHART

For lenses that are capable of compensating distortion, the horizontal axis of the MTF shows the distance from the center of the corrected image.

Good build!!!
This lens doesn't allow for teleconverter. I use a neewer 67 mm front screw on magnifier 2.2x. I also use an 82 mm screw on Hood on the front of that. 440-1320 equivalent to full frame. I use it on the Panasonic G9 and the Olympus m10 Mark II. A poor man's 100-400. You need to use either a monopod or a tripod for stability at full zoom.

    I bought this for my Olympus e-M1 iii as it is weather sealed and the Power OIS (lens stabilized). Longer lenses benefit more from lens OIS and when I’m shooting at 300mm and using the digital teleconverter it makes a difference over using the IBIS in the camera.

    I’m very impressed with the bokeh. And autofocus is lightning fast.

    Only downside is the zoom ring is stiff and of course zooms in the opposite direction of Olympus lenses.

    And it is quite heavy, but when I see these giant monster FF 600mm lenses I go yup, no regrets sticking with micro four thirds.

    Finally got a super telephoto lens for my camera. Tested out days after I received it and I was amazed by the performance of it. First off, the lens itself isn't that big or bulky at all and not too heavy considering the focal length you get. It's 100mm - 300mm which translate to 200mm-600mm on a full frame, which is ideal for wildlife or sports photography. It's a good value as well. Overall, I'm happy and definitely recommend it.

    Thinking of getting into wildlife photography? Can’t decide between this lens or the OM/Olympus 75-300mm lens? Read on and maybe this review will help you. I have been shooting with Micro Four Thirds since 2015. I have tried other format and brands over the years as well. I have owned 3 different Olympus 75-300mm lenses and 2 Panasonic 100-300mm lenses. As of right now, I only have the Panasonic 100-300mm lens.

    Comparing the 2 lenses: The Olympus lens is lighter and slightly smaller in size than the Panasonic lens. When you factor in the lens hood, they are similar in size. The Olympus lens starts at a wider Focal Length of 75mm vs Panasonic 100mm. The Olympus lens has a shorter minimum focal distance. The Panasonic has a brighter aperture of f5.6 at 300mm vs f6.7 on the Olympus. The Panasonic comes with a lens hood and the Olympus does not. The build quality feels better on the Panasonic and I like the rubber grip on the zoom ring. The Olympus lens feels like a cheap kit lens. The Panasonic has Optical Image Stabilization while the Olympus does not. The Panasonic is "Splash proof / Dustproof" while the Olympus is not.

    Auto Focus performance: If you’re using a capable camera body such as the OM-1, both lenses will perform about the same. The Panasonic lens AF performance will better on Panasonic bodies. When I used the Olympus lens on the Panasonic G9II I was very disappointed with the AF. The Panasonic 100-300mm AF performance was much better. But on my OM-1 Mark I camera, I don’t notice any difference between the 2 lens AF. Honestly in order to fully get the most of theses lenses for wildlife photography, you should use high-end camera bodies.

    Sharpness between the 2 lenses: Flip a coin! As I stated before, I have own several copies of both lenses and there’s no clear winner. One lens may be a little sharper but it’s more due to sample variation, so you better hope you’re lucky and get a sharp lens! Now, keep in the mind the cost of these lens. They are not going to be as sharp as more expensive lenses. But I feel the sharpness is fine for size and reach you get from these 2 lenses. I’ve included a crop image of a test chart that is at 100% zoom in so you judge for yourself. The image was taken with the Panasonic lens on my OM-1 at 300mm at F5.6. I found both lens sharpness is best around F7.1 to F8.

    So should you get the Olympus or Panasonic lens? Well it really depends on your needs. I mostly own OM lens and this is the only Panasonic lens I have. I sold my OM 75-300mm lens as I found this lens is better for my needs. This lens pair with my OM-1 is my compact & take any where wildlife setup. I love this setup and the images it can produce.

    When you're ready to step-up, then look at the Panasonic 100-400mm or OM 100-400mm lens. I have the OM 100-400mm and it's a better lens overall and my preferred setup. But as I stated, I won't sell this Panasonic lens due to the size, reach, and wonderful images I can get from this lens.

    Reviewed in Italy on May 1, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Quando fotografavo a pellicola, sono sempre stato negato nell'uso dei teleobiettivi.
    Scattando a 100 iso, senza stabilizzatore, sia con il 200mm che con il 300, a mano libera (ottiche poco luminose, altrimenti avrei dovuto accendere un mutuo e comprare un furgone solo per i teleobiettivi), le mie foto erano sempre affette da micromosso, o da una leggera sfocatura, anche scattando con tempi, teoricamente, di sicurezza.
    Da quando sono entrato, dopo anni di letargo, nel sistema Micro 4/3 Lumix, mi si è aperto un mondo tutto nuovo e meraviglioso.
    Dopo aver preso la mano col 45-150, che equivale ad un 90-300 nel pieno formato, non ho resistito, e ho ordinato il Lumix Vario 100-300 II f/4-5.6
    Avere un 600 mm f/5.6 era un sogno proibito da sempre. Il fattore di crop, o di moltiplicazione, degli obiettivi micro 4/3 è di 2x, quindi questo obiettivo equivale a dei cannoni giganteschi nel formato pieno o anche in Aps-c.
    Qui abbiamo un obiettivo delle dimensioni di una lattina di coca cola, che sta quasi in tasca, e questo è il primo, enorme vantaggio.

    Il secondo vantaggio è il prezzo: con 600 euro o poco più, ci si porta a casa un 200-600 equivalente, dalla luminosità nemmeno scandalosa.
    Esiste uno Zuiko 75-300 e costa anche un po' meno, ma a 300 mm è un f/6.7, cioè quasi uno stop in meno, e non è stabilizzato!

    Il terzo, enorme vantaggio, si chiama Power O.I.S. : questo obiettivo è dotato del sisrema di stabilizzazione interna più evoluto di casa Panasonic. Esiste una versione precedente, dotata di Mega O.I.S. Meglio prendere questa, la versione II, molto più efficace.
    Montato sulla mia G90, ho una doppia stabilizzazione ottica!
    Infatti sono riuscito finalmente a scattare a 600 mm, foto che mai avrei pensato di poter fare.

    La resa ottica di questa lente non è la più tagliente dell'universo, ma si difende bene.
    Sinceramente, la nitidezza delle foto, mi è sembrata più che valida, anche a tutta apertura. Per le esigenze di un fotoamatore, non mi posso lamentare.

    Anche la velocità di messa a fuoco è più che sifficiente. Non sono un fotografo sportivo, uso questo obiettivo per fotografare animaletti e persone. Inserendo il tracking sulla mia G90, sono riuscito a seguire i germani in acqua anche quando passavano dietro le foglie, senza che la macchina perdesse il fuoco (merito della macchina) e con una risposta dell'obiettivo sempre molto veloce. Non so se si comporterà in modo valido anche con soggetti più veloci, ma per ora sono soddisfatto.

    L'obiettivo è realizzato interamente in policarbonato. Non ha giochi e le ghiere scorrono in modo fluido. La ghiera dello zoom è rivestita in gomma.
    C'è un interruttore sul barilotto per escludere lo stabilizzatore. Non ne comprendo appieno l'utilità, dato che è facile operare direttamente dal corpo macchina, almeno sulla G90, ma penso lo abbiano inserito per risparmiare batteria, e per corpi macchina in cui occorre accedere al menù per comandare la stabilizzazione, con maggiore perdita di tempo.

    In dotazione c'è un paraluce con innesto a baionetta e una custodia morbida.

    Ho ordinato questo obiettivo da 鶹 UK perché su 鶹 EU è quasi sempre esaurito.
    Esperienza tragica. Dopo il brexit, ordinare da UK è diventato un calvario. Prima di riceverlo ho dovuto fornire a Ups altri dati aggiuntivi, fotocopie dei documenti ecc. E il tracking non è stato quasi mai aggiornato.
    Se potete, prendetelo da amazon EU, costa anche qualcosa in meno.

    C'è un interruttore sul barilotto per escludere lo stabilizzatore. Non ne comprendo appieno l'utilità, dato che è facile operare direttamente dal corpo macchina, almeno sulla G90, ma penso lo abbiano inserito per risparmiare batteria, e per corpi macchina in cui occorre accedere al menù per comandare la stabilizzazione, con maggiore perdita di tempo.

    In dotazione c'è un paraluce con innesto a baionetta e una custodia morbida.

    Ho ordinato questo obiettivo da 鶹 UK perché su 鶹 EU è quasi sempre esaurito.
    Esperienza tragica. Dopo il brexit, ordinare da UK è diventato un calvario. Prima di riceverlo ho dovuto fornire a Ups altri dati aggiuntivi, fotocopie dei documenti ecc. E il tracking non è stato quasi mai aggiornato.
    Se potete, prendetelo da amazon EU, costa anche qualcosa in meno.

    Buen lente para tomas de lejos y si no le importa que sea algo oscuro las tomas a 300mm pero lo uso en una cámara de video así que todo va bien
