Reach and Range

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS is a super-telephoto zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. It provides a 200-800mm equivalent focal length, suiting wildlife and sports photographers who need significant reach. The lens uses 21 elements in 15 groups, including four ED lenses and two super HR elements, to control aberrations across the zoom range. A ZERO coating reduces ghosting and flare for improved contrast.

Sustained Handling and Stability

Built-in optical image stabilization compensates up to three EV steps, supporting sharper handheld shooting during extended sessions in difficult lighting. The hermetically sealed barrel resists dust, moisture, and freezing temperatures, maintaining performance in harsh climates. A Movie & Still Compatible autofocus system delivers quick, quiet focusing, while a focus limiter switch speeds acquisition for anticipated subject distances. The removable rotating tripod collar improves balance for tripod-mounted work.

Installation Practicalities

The lens mounts directly to Micro Four Thirds bodies and accepts 72mm front filters. It is compatible with the MC-14 and MC-20 teleconverters for extended reach, though it does not operate with 5-axis Sync IS. At 1.120g and 205.7mm long, it remains manageable for handheld use but adds noticeable weight to smaller camera bodies. Buyers needing wider angles or faster maximum apertures for low-light work without stabilization should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How much does the 1.120g lens shift the balance when it is mounted all day?

At 1.120g and 205.7mm long the lens centres its mass close to the camera mount, and the removable rotating tripod collar lets you re-balance the rig without removing the body.

What camera mount and sensor format does this 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS lens require?

It is built for the Micro Four Thirds mount and covers the 200-800mm equivalent field of view on that sensor format.

Will the in-lens stabilisation work together with the 5-axis Sync IS on my OM-1 body?

The lens provides up to 3 EV steps of optical stabilisation on its own and is not compatible with the camera's 5-axis Sync IS system.
