Product Overview

Olympus M.Zuiko 150-400mm F4.5 TC 1.25x IS PRO is a professional super telephoto zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds-mount. It covers the MFT image circle. Introduced by Olympus in 2019, it has 28 elements in 18 groups. The most notable feature of this lens is the built-in 1.25x teleconverter.

Like most zoom lenses, the M.Zuiko 150-400mm F4.5 TC 1.25x IS PRO is externally-zooming. Fortunately, Olympus has provided a zoom lock that at least stops zoom creep. For incremental weathers, Olympus is kind enough to include weather sealing.

The 0.71x magnification opens up a lot of opportunity for macro shots. As a super telephoto zoom lens, the M.Zuiko 150-400mm F4.5 TC 1.25x IS PRO can be quite useful for wild-life and landscape photography. Built-in image stabilization is almost a must-have at this focal range, and this lens does not disappoint on this front. Owners will also like the available tripod collar.
