Lens OverviewOlympus 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO Lens is a super telephoto zoom designed for the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless system. Covering a focal length range of 150mm to 400mm, it delivers serious reach for wildlife, sports, and any subject that demands distance between photographer and target. The maximum aperture of f/4.5 runs consistently across the zoom range, giving shooters a predictable exposure baseline whether they're at the short or long end.

Optical image stabilization is built in, helping to manage camera shake at these extended focal lengths where even minor movement can impact sharpness. The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus, giving shooters flexibility depending on the situation. Mounted via the Micro Four Thirds standard, it's compatible with the broad ecosystem of MFT mirrorless bodies.

The filter thread measures 95mm, which is worth factoring in when budgeting for protective or polarizing filters at this size. Weighing in at 1,875g, this is a substantial piece of glass — expected for a lens of this focal reach and optical ambition — and users should plan accordingly for support and carry solutions.

DescriptionOlympus 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO Lens is a super telephoto zoom built for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. It spans a focal length range of 150mm to 400mm, making it a compelling choice for photographers who regularly shoot distant subjects such as wildlife, aviation, or sports. The maximum aperture of f/4.5 remains fixed across the entire zoom range, offering consistent and predictable exposure control from one end to the other. Optical image stabilization is integrated into the lens, providing meaningful support for handholding at longer focal lengths where shake is most visible in the final image.

The lens accepts filters via a 95mm filter thread, which is standard for optics of this size class. Weighing 1,875g, it is a substantial lens that rewards proper support and technique. Both autofocus and manual focus are supported, giving photographers the flexibility to switch between acquisition modes as the shooting situation demands.

The Micro Four Thirds mount ensures compatibility across the full range of MFT mirrorless bodies.
