OM System has introduced the M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 IS II, an updated version of its popular super-telephoto zoom lens designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras. The update to its super-telephoto zoom lens offers some subtle yet worthy changes, especially for those taking the lens into the great outdoors.
Retaining its impressive 200-800mm full-frame equivalent focal range, the lens is built for versatility, offering powerful telephoto reach in a relatively compact form. One of the biggest changes is that the new version is Sync IS compatible, allowing the lens’s stabilization system to be co-ordinated with in-body stabilization for improved motion correction.
With its enhanced stabilisation, improved coatings, and reliable autofocus, the OM System 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 IS II stands out as a valuable addition for Micro Four Thirds users needing long telephoto reach without the bulk of full-frame alternatives.
