Compact, lightweight super telephoto zoom lens
This lightweight super zoom telephoto lens is designed for bird and wildlife photography and, when paired with the M.ZUIKO MC-20 2X Teleconverter, provides an extended focal length of 1600mm. Its impressive range allows photographers to capture the intricate details of distant subjects without disturbing their natural behaviour.
Featuring 4 ED (extra low dispersion) lenses, 2 Super HR (super high refractive index) lenses and 2 HR (high refractive index) lenses, the advanced optics of this lens deliver sharp, superior performance throughout the zoom range. In addition, the ZERO (Zuiko Extra-Low Reflection Optical) coating minimises ghosting and flare, ensuring clarity even in challenging backlight conditions.
With a closest focal length of 1.3 m and a maximum magnification of 0.57 times equivalent (telephoto setting: minimum field size 60.3 x 45.3 mm), the lens excels at telephoto photography, ideal for capturing small, easily moving subjects such as insects. It also supports Focus Stacking mode, which combines multiple images at different focal points to create sharp, detailed images with increased depth of field.
Supports 5-axis Sync IS with up to 7.0 steps EV compensation
This lens is compatible with 5-axis Sync IS, using a high-precision gyro sensor and an optimized image stabilization algorithm that integrates seamlessly with in-body stabilization. It provides up to 7.0 EV compensation for stable shooting, even at extended zoom ranges.
Advanced image stabilisation minimises camera shake and helps you compose your subject - a common challenge when shooting super telephoto handheld. With the 5-axis sync function, the viewfinder remains stable, allowing photographers to easily keep the subject in the frame, enabling efficient handheld telephoto shooting.
Reliable, all-weather design: IPX1 rated, splash and dust resistant design
This lens features an IPX1-rated splash and dust resistant design, giving you peace of mind in challenging outdoor conditions, including rain or splash-prone environments. The front element is fluorine coated, so dirt and water droplets can be easily wiped away for uninterrupted shooting.
In addition, the lens is equipped with a Focus Limiter switch for quick auto focus adjustment based on the distance to the subject. Users can choose from three AF modes for faster and more accurate focusing, especially at super telephoto distances.
The redesigned tripod mount can be attached or detached without removing the lens from the camera, and its ergonomic base is compatible with the Arca-Swiss mount, ensuring comfort and portability.
