Opinion:I took it back years later. It is a very light lens for its range and the construction in my opinion is satisfactory. I had sold it because due to my inexperience I had not realized that using a 600mm equivalent is not obvious. The stabilizer of the e-m10 mk1 could not prevent the shake. Even with the gx7 it is difficult. While with the g90, thanks to the best stabilizer, an excellent grip, an excellent viewfinder, a fast AF, ...., the percentage of good shots has risen a lot, resulting sharp even at 300mm at TA.
Pros:Compactness with respect to the focal lengths reached; Lightness; Fluidity of use; Yield compared to cost; Sharpness at TA and beyond;
Cons:Resistance of somewhat delicate materials (not the construction) Absence of tropicalization; Slightly dark towards the end (6.7); 75 or 150mm with MTF factor limits a little the use as a handyman;
Opinion:Taken new on offer + cashback, Polyphoto Italia, at a laughable price compared to any other 150-600mm on the market. Of course, we talk about equivalence and in itself the aperture values are not those of a PRO lens, but thanks to the stabilization of the Om-1 (and MFT) in general it is an excellent superzoom lens, with reduced size and weight, easy to wear in accompaniment to another main lens, perhaps in the range 12-60. Despite the relative "buiety", the photographic yield such as colors, sharpness and three-dimensionality is good, almost excellent if related to the cost. The autofocus is a slower hair than PRO lenses, but absolutely effective in catching, even at 300mm. Too bad there is a lack of tropicalization and, above all, that plastics are slightly fragile and are easily marked. Despite this, the construction and the mechanism seem very well done. Personal mark: 7/8
Cons:It suffers from bright light resulting in loss of detail. Maximum focal length not very sharp. Not tropicalized.
Opinion:A good goal, much more than what people are professing. Definitely usable on almost the entire focal length, obviously trying to pay attention to the shake and timing. It is a light lens, perhaps even too much, so you have to be especially careful when shooting. I noticed a loss of detail on particularly sunny days, with lots of light, where it tends to knead a little, but otherwise I highly recommend it.
Opinion:For those approaching nature and bird photography for the first time in addition to sports, the M.Zuiko 75-300 II series is an excellent lens. Characterized by an ergonomic design, lightweight and excellent construction. Too bad it does not have tropicalization, it would have given it that extra plus that Olympus has accustomed us to. The optics are very good when there is a lot of light during the day decays a bit when the sun goes down and the AF suffers, especially when used in dynamic AF-C. However, the photos are of excellent quality and in general the autofocus in the dynamic is responsive but only on advanced medium bodies (from the E-M5 upwards). If used on E-M10 in the dynamic is very suffering (it is not reactive), it goes a little better in the static AF-S. It is instead precise and perfect on OM-1, on E-M1 mk3 or E-M1X and can be used by professionals as a third or fourth spare lens or as a "jack of all trades".

Pros:Weight, bulk, cost of used
Cons:Dark at the focal length of greatest interest
Opinion:The first time I had this OB I did not like it and I got rid of it immediately, but the fault was not his, but mine that I had not understood how to handle a 600 mm equivalent freehand! Now that something begins to understand, I realize that the OB is valid if used properly; a first test with about twenty shots took place in the worst conditions, that is, little light, but the hooking of the various subjects was always good, without too much hesitation; of course, the other OB that I have of PRO class is faster, but even this non-PRO is perfectly usable for subjects not too mobile; testing it on the flowers I realized that getting a move in the presence of even light breezes is very easy, not to mention the "own" moved that is difficult to tame since with this 75-300 I can only use the IS of the EM-1, however I found that with C-AF tracking the situation improves a lot; I already know that with birds it will be worse since not only they "dance" on the branches, but also their feathers "dance" in the wind, so I will have to pull the short blanket from various sides, which is notoriously impossible; as for the low brightness I do not find it a big problem since usually the pseudo-macro I do it at F / 11, and now I am no longer afraid to raise the ISO; the bokeh seems pleasant to me, staying far enough away and cropping after. After some time I can say that the hardness of rotation of the barrel has decreased, but a little remains, and the sharpness is good up to about 200 mm as said by others. Considering the price you can not expect too much
