This lens has 18 elements that are offered in 13 groups. There are two Extra-Low Dispersion elements and one Super Extra-Low Dispersion element. These ED and Super ED elements virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations to increase clarity and sharpness. The ability of the elements to work together keeps colors true. Three high-refractive elements properly direct light at the best angle for high-quality photos. The glass elements are coated with the specially designed Olympus Zuiko Extra-Low Reflection Optical coating. This ZERO coating decreases reflection on both the internal and external surfaces of the glass. This helps to eliminate ghosting while making the lens more durable. The ZERO coating is particularly helpful when your subject is backlit. ZERO allows you to get text-sharp images even when shooting into very bright lighting. This Olympus model gives you the option of either auto or manual focus to handle all of your photographic needs. The auto-focus is the Movie and Still Compatible type. MSC is very fast, making it easy to track quickly moving subjects like athletes or wildlife. It's also very quiet, which prevents the sound of the focusing mechanism to be picked up by your microphone. The stiffness of the ring is great for making very fine manual adjustments that will hold their position during shooting. The focal length of this zoom lens is 75-300mm, which is the 35 mm equivalent of 150-600mm. It can focus from distances of 2.95 feet to infinity. The diagonal angle of view ranges from 16 degrees to 4.1 degrees. This lets you capture as much or as little of the background as you need. The aperture of this Olympus M.Zuiko 75-300mm lens has a maximum size of f/4.8 and a minimum size of f/22. This means that you will always have the right illumination in any lighting conditions. It also has 58mm filter threads that do not rotate as the lens focuses.
