Nearly two years after it was announced, we finally got our hands on the 150-400mm f/4.5, and it looks like it was worth the wait.
have finally given way years later and we now have a chance to finally review this exciting telephoto.
The M.Zuiko 150-400mm is a serious lens for serious Micro Four Thirds users and comes with an equally serious $7,499 price tag. We took it to Idaho on a recent road trip which provided us plenty of opportunity for testing and allowed us to really look into the ups and downs of this optic.OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO: Handling
The first thing you notice is how small and light this lens is for a 300-800mm full-frame equivalent lens. Weighing only 4.1 pounds this lens is easy to hand hold all day and small enough to provide a 95mm filter thread on the front and to fit into most shoulder bags with the hood reversed.The zoom ring has a very short and precise throw from one end of the zoom to the other. Both the manual focus ring and zoom ring are easy to find and identify without having to look.
Is 400mm not enough? Well then, you’ll enjoy the built-in 1.25X teleconverter which provides a maximum 1000mm full-frame equivalent reach. It’s easy to flick on and off and has a locking switch if you want to avoid any surprises.I found image quality to be negligibly affected with the teleconverter switched on, but there is a little loss of light, changing the aperture from f/4.5 to f/5.6.
OM System has a versatile lens that delivers good optical performance — mostly — and gives the Micro Four Thirds users a powerful wildlife and sports lens for serious work. Despite the higher price than the format is used to seeing, I think this lens is worth the cost in order to get a faster f/4.5 aperture at the long end. It certainly was worth the wait.
