Looking for an ideal focal length range and outstanding performance, including excellent close-focus capability? Look no further. This lens is perfect for capturing flocks of birds, detailed close-ups of wildlife and insects, and a variety of natural habitats.
In bird and wildlife photography, reach is essential. Starting at 400mm to capture subjects from a distance in their natural habitats, and extending to 800mm for detailed portraits (35mm equivalent), all while avoiding disturbance to the animals.
This lens is compatible with teleconverters, offering super telephoto shooting up to 1600mm (35mm equivalent) with the M.Zuiko Digital 2x Teleconverter MC-20. Perfect for capturing distant wildlife without disturbance, it’s also compatible with the M.Zuiko Digital 1.4x Teleconverter MC-14.
Featuring a 1.3-meter minimum focusing distance, this lens allows telemacro shooting with 0.57x magnification (35mm equivalent). Ideal for photographing insects like butterflies, it also supports Focus Stacking on compatible OM SYSTEM cameras for sharp images with enhanced depth of field.
Easily go to the locations with the best shots. The M.Zuiko 100-400mm IS II’ built-in image stabilization frees you to shoot handheld. The sophisticated stabilization works with any camera body to help compensate for hand shake, producing sharp shots from any angle.
A new addition to this lens is the 5-axis sync IS, offering stabilisation of up to 7.0 stops EV when paired with compatible OM SYSTEM camera bodies. This cutting-edge feature guarantees stability and reliable performance, even in demanding shooting conditions
The compact, lightweight design makes traveling to photo locations easier, reducing your load while searching for birds and wildlife. Smooth handheld shooting without a tripod or monopod lets you capture panning shots of moving subjects, whether in flight or on the move.
A new, lightweight tripod mount design allows it to be detached even when the lens is attached to the camera. The tripod mount foot is compatible with Arca-Swiss type clamps, and its shape is optimized for easy carrying when held by the mount.
