I don't know if the 300/4.5 is an ED lens or not - Olympus never advertised
those "features" of it's lenses to a great degree. I Do know it's a
wonderful lens and it performs well (for me) wide open.
You'll probably have to shop around to get one at your price point, but they do
exist. I picked up my 300/4.5 (SC, Ex+ condition) from a list member
about a year ago for $220.
