Telephoto reach for Micro Four Thirds

This Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm f/4-6.3 II ASPH lens delivers a 200-800mm full-frame equivalent range on Micro Four Thirds bodies. Optional 1.4x and 2x teleconverters extend reach to 1120mm or 1600mm equivalent. It suits wildlife and sports shooters who need long focal lengths in a single optic. Buyers who want wider angles or faster maximum apertures should look elsewhere.

Optical stabilization and rugged build

POWER O.I.S. reduces camera shake for sharp handheld shots and works with Dual I.S. on compatible Lumix G cameras for enhanced stabilization. The lens barrel is freeze-resistant, dust-proof and moisture-proof for demanding outdoor environments. A Zoom Limit Switch helps autofocus acquire subjects faster by restricting the search range. No figures for power draw or operating noise are provided.

Bundle adds protection and maintenance

The bundle includes a three-piece filter kit, a lens pouch, front and rear caps, a cap keeper and a full cleaning kit. Filters protect the front element and can aid creative control. The pouch and caps guard the glass during transport and storage. The cleaning kit helps maintain optical clarity in the field. No software or firmware tools are included.

Questions about this item

How do I attach this lens to my Micro Four Thirds camera and what step is often missed?

Align the lens mount index with the camera body mark, twist until it clicks, then set the focus-mode switch to AF so the POWER O.I.S. system activates automatically.

What maintenance will the dust- and moisture-proof construction need over time?

Wipe the front element with the supplied cleaning kit after each shoot, check the rubber seals for grit, and store the lens in the included pouch with caps fitted to preserve the weather-resistant build.

At what focal length does the maximum aperture reach its narrowest limit during a long wildlife session?

At the 400 mm end the aperture stops down to f/6.3, which is the first exposure constraint you meet when zooming fully for distant subjects.
