The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm F4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO is a high- resolution, super telephoto zoom lens that is equipped with a built-in 1.25x teleconverter and covers a wide focal length of 300-1000mm equivalent.
Designed for Micro Four Thirds system cameras the lens offers a built-in 1.25x teleconverter, boosting its 300-800mm equivalent range to a massive 375-1000mm equiv. reach. The lens features built-in IS rated to 4.5 stops, and when coupled with the 5-axis stabilized OM-D E-M1X can provide up to 8 stops of stabilization.
The 150-400mm F4.5 measures just over 31cm (12.4″) in length and weighs ‘only’ 1.9kg (4.1lb). It includes 28 elements in 18 groups, including four Super ED elements to reduce flare and chromatic aberrations, as well as a new extra-low dispersion aspherical lens.
