Olympus 70-300mm f/4-5.6 ED Zuiko Digital
9 out of 10 points and recommendedAstonishingly good image quality for the priceThe manual AF/MF switch, probably of Sigma originWell, Olympus did it again - here we have a great lens at an affordable price. Due to the nature of this lens it is necessary to support the lens properly before making an exposure - never leave your tripod home!

But if you have supported the camera-lens combination as it always should be, you wil get truly great image quality. I photographed a boat plunging into the waves in a distance of around five hundred meters, and by golly, I can even count the water droplets spraying all around the boat!
A great lens.
