The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS is distinguished by its remarkable range and versatility, functioning as a super-telephoto zoom lens equivalent to 200-800mm for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. This extensive focal length is enhanced by a sophisticated optical design that features a combination of ED and HR elements, effectively reducing various optical aberrations. Additionally, the ZERO coating is employed to mitigate flare and ghosting, thereby enhancing contrast and color fidelity.
Furthermore, this lens is equipped with an optical image stabilization system that compensates for up to three stops of camera shake, facilitating sharper handheld photography in challenging lighting situations. It also incorporates a Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system, which ensures rapid and silent focusing capabilities. A focus limiter switch is included to expedite focusing based on the expected distance of the subject from the camera. Additionally, the lens comes with a detachable rotating tripod collar for improved stability and support, and it is weather-sealed to protect against dust, moisture, and freezing conditions, making it suitable for use in demanding environments.
- Spanning an impressive super telephoto range, this 100-400mm zoom is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 200-800mm equivalent focal length range.
- Two Super HR (high refractive index) elements and two HR elements are featured in the optical design to limit spherical aberrations for improved sharpness with reduced distortion. Additionally, three ED (extra-low dispersion) elements are also used to control chromatic aberrations and color fringing for greater clarity and color fidelity.
- A ZERO (Zuiko Extra-Low Reflection Optical) coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
- Optical image stabilization minimizes the appearance of camera shake by approximately three stops to suit handheld shooting applications.
- Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
- Minimum focusing distance of 4.3' offers a 0.57x maximum magnification to suit working with close-up subjects.
- Focus range limiter allows you to constrict the focus system to 4.3-19.7', 4.3' to infinity, or 19.7' to infinity ranges for faster focusing performance depending on the subject type and distance.
- Weather-sealed construction guards the lens against dust and moisture for working in harsh environments.
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
- Tripod collar provides well-balanced support when working from a monopod or tripod and permits quick switching between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations.
- Compatible with the optional M.Zuiko Digital MC-14 1.4x and MC-20 2x Teleconverters to further extend the effective reach of the lens.
