Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 II Power OIS

A 200-600mm-equivalent telephoto zoom for Micro Four Thirds at 520g — the lightest route to long reach for birds, sport and wildlife on Lumix and OM bodies. The II version added dust and splash resistance and Power O.I.S. that works with Dual I.S. bodies. Slow apertures make it a good-light lens.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
