• This is a wonderful lens, sharp corner-to-corner at any aperture, as good wide open as it is stopped down.
• The Olympus 1.4X-A teleconverter is nicely matched to it, and produces a 500mm ƒ/4 lens that is superb!
• It works well on mirrorless lenses via a simple and inexpensive dumb adaptor, but even better with the Metabones Speedbooster Ultra, which turns it into a stunning 250mm ƒ/2 lens!
• Build quality is outstanding, with silky-smooth internal focusing via a rotating cam.

• As others mentioned, it is big and heavy. But any 300mm ƒ/2.8 is going to be big and heavy.
• Manual focus only.
• Some lateral chromatic aberration.
• Soft fluorite front element, hideously exposed with no means of adding a protective UV filter, is easily scratched.

Tremendous results, high contrast, razor sharp!

Heavy!

Produces incredibly sharp, vibrant images. No loss of quality with the 1.4Xa teleconverter. Sharpest telephoto I've ever used.
