Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 II POWER O.I.S. Lens with Circular Polarizer Filter Kit

Complementing the lens itself, the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 II POWER O.I.S. Lens with Circular Polarizer Filter Kit from B&H bundles the ultra telephoto zoom with a 67mm circular polarizer filter.

• Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 II POWER O.I.S. Lens

  A long-reaching telephoto zoom for Micro Four Thirds cameras, the Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 II POWER O.I.S. Lens from Panasonic spans an equivalent 200-600mm range, making it well-suited to wildlife, nature, and sports shooting. The optical design incorporates one extra-low dispersion element to reduce color fringing throughout the zoom range, as well as to provide improved clarity and color accuracy. Benefitting the optics, the lens also houses a quick, quiet, and precise linear autofocus motor as well as a POWER Optical Image Stabilizer, which supports the Dual I.S. function in select Lumix cameras. Additionally, the lens also sports a splash and dustproof construction for use in trying environmental conditions.

  Telephoto zoom designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, this lens offers a 200-600mm equivalent focal length range.

  One extra-low dispersion element is featured in the optical design to minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color fidelity.

  Linear autofocus motor delivers fast AF performance that is also precise, smooth, and near-silent to benefit both stills and video applications.

  POWER Optical Image Stabilizer minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting, and also supports the Dual I.S. function for increased stabilization performance.

  Splash and dustproof design benefits working in inclement weather conditions.

  Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.

• Hoya 67mm alpha Circular Polarizer Filter

  The Hoya 67mm alpha Circular Polarizer Filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.
  
  A circular polarizer only differs from a linear polarizer in that it contains a quarter wave plane in addition to the linear polarizing filter. The addition of this quarter wave plane is to circularly polarize the linearly polarized light for the use of auto focus and exposure functions. Due to how the light is broken down and filtered with a linear polarizer, auto focus and exposure accuracy become skewed during use. When the light becomes circularly polarized, it permits the use of these functions.
  
  This filter is non-coated and has approximately 96% average light transmission. It is constructed from optical glass and precision milled aluminum frames.

  Clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors.

  Strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun.

  Circular polarizers are ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features.

  Non-coated.

  Approximately 96% average light transmission.

  3 to 4x filter factor reduces exposure by 1.6 to 2 stops.

  Constructed from optical glass and precision milled aluminum frames.

  Plastic filter case for storage and transport.
