A high-resolution, super-telephoto zoom lens with a built-in 1.25x teleconverter that enables handheld shooting at an ultra-telephoto equivalent of 1000mm. Mount: Micro Four Thirds. Focal length: 150-400mm (35mm equivalent: 300-800mm). Max aperture: F4.5. Filter diameter: 95mm. Dust- and splash-proof. / [ED150400F45ISPROOM] ED150400F45ISPROOM. Large item (time slots cannot be specified). Release date: February 2023
Covers a wide telephoto range equivalent to 300-2000mm.Covers a wide telephoto range equivalent to 300-1000mm. Not only can you capture distant subjects in close-up, but you can also adjust the focal length to achieve the desired composition. When the 2x Teleconverter MC-20 is attached, you can enjoy super-telephoto shooting up to 2000mm equivalent.
Excellent resolution and a fixed maximum aperture throughout the zoom range. The luxurious lens design of 28 elements in 18 groups, including a newly developed large-aperture EDA lens and four Super ED lens elements, minimizes color bleeding and flare, achieving clear images throughout the entire zoom range despite the large aperture of a fixed maximum aperture of F4.5. Excellent resolution is achieved not only in the center but also at the periphery.
Built-in Teleconverter for 1000mm Equivalent Super Telephoto Shooting: The built-in teleconverter extends the focal length by 1.25x, enabling super-telephoto shooting up to 1000mm equivalent with a maximum aperture of F5.6. The built-in teleconverter allows you to quickly switch between focal lengths without having to look through the viewfinder, so you'll never miss a shot. The optional MC-14/MC-20 teleconverters, which utilize the master lens's superior optical performance to extend focal lengths, are also compatible. Pairing the 1.4x MC-14 with the MC-14 and the 2x MC-20 allows for astounding ultra-telephoto shots equivalent to a maximum of 1400mm, while pairing it with the 2x MC-20 allows for a maximum of 2000mm.
Unparalleled Shooting Range from Ultra-Telephoto to Macro: Despite being an ultra-telephoto lens, this lens achieves close-up shooting performance with a minimum focusing distance of 1.3m (throughout the entire zoom range) and a maximum magnification of 0.57x. When using the built-in teleconverter, true telemacro shooting is possible with a maximum magnification of 0.71x. This allows you to capture close-up shots of subjects that are difficult to approach, even at a greater distance.
Supports Depth Stacking: This feature automatically combines multiple photos with different focal lengths. Despite being an ultra-telephoto macro lens, it delivers a deep depth of field, ensuring that everything from the foreground to the background is in focus. This large-aperture, ultra-telephoto zoom lens is compact and lightweight. By using optimal materials for various parts, including magnesium alloy, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), and carbon fiber, we've achieved a compact, lightweight design with a length of 314.3mm and a weight of 1875g, while maintaining strength and precision. The inner zoom system maintains the lens's overall length throughout the zoom range, ensuring stable balance at all times. A lightweight carbon fiber lens hood ensures the lens's center of gravity is kept close to the tip of the lens, even when attached. Approximately Half the Weight of a Full-Frame SLR System: When combined with the OM-D E-M1X, the weight is approximately 3g (camera body approximately 1.0g + lens approximately 2.0g), roughly half the weight of a full-frame SLR system. This not only facilitates handheld ultra-telephoto shooting, but also reduces the burden of framing and panning. Highly Reliable Dustproof, Weatherproof, and -10°C Freeze-Resistant Performance: This lens offers excellent dustproof, weatherproof, and freeze-resistant performance down to -10°C. Paired with a dustproof, weatherproof, and freezeproof camera body, you can continue shooting with confidence even in harsh environments, such as rain or snow.
Heat-shielding coating suppresses temperature rise: Ultra-telephoto zoom lenses require extremely precise control, and the effects of heat cannot be ignored. To address this issue, we adopted a heat-resistant coating that reflects sunlight's infrared rays more efficiently than conventional black coatings, reducing internal temperature rise by approximately 10% and external temperature rise by approximately 30%. This reduces internal temperature rise and ensures stable optical performance, even in the blazing sun.
5-axis sync image stabilization with up to 8 stops of compensation performance: 5-axis sync image stabilization boasts the world's most powerful compensation performance among ultra-telephoto lenses, achieving 8 stops of compensation at 300mm equivalent and 6 stops at 1000mm equivalent. This lens is the first to feature the latest high-precision OM System gyro sensor, which has image stabilization accuracy five times greater than previous models, and an optimized control algorithm, achieving overwhelming performance. Combined with its compact and lightweight design, this lens enables handheld shooting in the ultra-telephoto range, which was previously difficult. High-speed, high-precision AFOM SYSTEM across the entire zoom range. The focus lens is made lightweight thanks to the AFOM SYSTEM's unique high-precision thin-wall lens processing technology. High-speed, high-precision AF is possible across the entire zoom range. Focusing speed remains almost constant even when using the built-in teleconverter.
