This is the first Olympus interchangeable lens to be equipped with in-lens IS (image stabilisation). Combining in-lens IS and in-body 5-axis IS, 5-axis Sync IS[2] achieves the world's most powerful[1] image stabilisation, equivalent to 6 shutter speed steps. This makes previously difficult hand-held super-telephoto shooting possible.
OM-D E-M1+ M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f/4.0 IS PRO
This is a compact, lightweight lens weighing only 1270 g with a length of 227 mm, featuring dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof construction. Its excellent mobility and powerful image stabilisation makes it useful in a variety of fields without needing a tripod.
Hermetic sealing in 17 locations
The hermetic sealing in 17 locations powerfully protects against ingress of dust and water droplets for excellent dustproof and splashproof performance.

Olympus's best-ever resolution is achieved by including 3 Super ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses, an HR (high-refractive) lens and an E-HR (Extra-High Refractive) lens for correcting colour bleeding and aberrations that tend to occur when using telephoto lenses.
New coating technology, Z Coating Nano, significantly reduces ghosts and flares for sharp, clear image quality. By adding a layer of nano-sized particles with a layer of air in the center to the surface of the lens, the coating achieves a refractive index similar to that of air for reduced surface reflections.
High-precision, thin lens fabrication technology makes the focus lens element lightweight. This contributes to the high-speed, high-precision lens drive and the overall small package. When combined with the OM-D E-M1, high-speed AF of 400 ms or less is possible.
Telemacro performance with a closest focusing distance of 1.4 m (1.15 m from the end of the lens) and a maximum image magnification of 0.48x[1] is now possible. These features open up a new world of telemacro shooting with hand-held and free angle possibilities.
When paired with the MC-20 2x Teleconverter, hand-held 1200mm1 super-telephoto shooting is available, and when paired with the MC-14 1.4x Teleconverter, hand-held 840mm1 super-telephoto shooting is possible.

1: MF clutch mechanism: pull the focusing ring toward you to switch to a preset focal position. This makes it possible to instantly switch from AF shooting to prefocus shooting.Combining the silent shooting mode with this super-telephoto lens let you shoot silently in environments where it is difficult to approach the subject, such as concerts, etc.
Olympus offers lens accessories bearing the Zuiko name that maintain excellent image quality and expand functionality.
This high-performance teleconverter doubles the focal length. It features a 9-element, 4-group lens construction (1 HR lens) and utilises the high image quality and superb optical performance of a master lens. The lightweight, compact 150-gram body features splashproof, dustproof, and freezeproof performance. Compatible lenses are the M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F2.8 PRO and M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO.
The MC-14 can extend the focal distance of the lens attached to 1.4x. This converter has 6 lens elements (including 1 HR lens) in 3 groups, packaged in a compact metal body. Image degradation is kept to an absolute minimum, and it also provides dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof performance. The MC-14 is compatible with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F2.8 PRO and the M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4 IS PRO.
This is a protection filter for the M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm f/4.0 IS PRO. To reduce flares and ghosts due to reflections, Zero Coating is used in addition to black-edged glass, and a satin finish on the black alunite/aluminum frame removes glossiness to prevent unwanted reflections.
This is an externally-mounted dot sight suitable for super-telephoto shooting. The EE-1 is splashproof, and has a sliding lever to pop the unit open. Because it is powered by a coin-shaped battery, it can be used if you have a accessory shoe. The reticle position and brightness can be adjusted for easier framing when shooting far-away subjects.
Lens cap for lenses with a filter diameter of 77mm.
A three-layer construction purse-string type lens case (included in the box) securely protects the lens. The lens can be stored in this case with the lens cap, protection filter, tripod collar, and teleconverter attached to the lens.
This decoration ring covers the screws that get exposed when the tripod collar is removed. Not only does it maintain the texture of the body when the collar is removed, but provides a better grip for hand-held shooting.
