Made for Professional Results
The Olympus 150-400mm f4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO lens was designed to deliver the resolution that professionals demand. Its optical assembly of 28 elements in 18 groups, featuring newly developed EDA lenses and 4 Super ED lenses, achieves breathtaking edge-to-edge definition across the entire zoom range. Z Coating Nano technology significantly reduces ghosts and flaring, leaving images crisp and clear. Autofocus (AF) performs with brilliant precision and speed—even when using the inbuilt teleconverter—to ensure you won’t miss fleeting moments.
Precise Control at Your Fingertips
With a range of excellent controls at your fingertips, getting the shot is easy. The Olympus 150-400mm f4.5 lens’ rubberised zoom/focus ring provides precise control, while a focus memory function lets you instantly set your favourite focal length. Need extra zoom? The built-in teleconverter can be activated and locked with the flick of a switch, so you don’t need to take your eyes off the action.
Exceptional Portability and Weather Resistance
Despite its impressive zoom and large fixed aperture, the Olympus 150-400mm PRO lens is remarkably compact and lightweight. Magnesium alloy, carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) and carbon fibre components make it highly durable yet easy to handle. The lens is also thoroughly dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof, so you can brave almost any shooting environment to reach your creative goals. A fluorine coating on the front lens surface offers further protection, resisting scratches, watermarks, and grime.
