An ideal super-telephoto zoom lens for bird and sports photography.
This compact and lightweight super-telephoto zoom lens allows for agile movement and the capture of powerful shots from various angles.
Equipped with a high-speed and quiet autofocus "MSC mechanism," it enables smooth shooting of both still images and videos.
The lens surface is treated with the latest "ZERO coating," suppressing ghosting and flare, and achieving clear image quality even in adverse conditions such as backlighting.
When combined with the powerful in-body image stabilization of the OM-D and PEN series, it delivers excellent image stabilization, allowing you to enjoy comfortable super-telephoto shooting.
Achieving super-telephoto focal length range (equivalent to 600mm in 35mm format) shooting in a compact and lightweight design weighing only 423g and at an affordable price. Capture powerful shots from various angles with agile movement.
Superior Image Quality
Thoroughly Eliminates Ghosting and Flare with "ZERO Coating"
The lens surface is treated with the latest "ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating" to suppress ghosting and flare, achieving clear image quality even in adverse conditions such as backlighting.
Luxurious Optical Design Using Abundant High-Performance Lenses
The optical system uses two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses and two ED lenses to effectively eliminate chromatic aberration that degrades the image quality of telephoto lenses.
In addition, three HR (High Refractive Index) lenses are used to achieve a compact size while eliminating various aberrations, resulting in superior image quality across the entire zoom range.
Achieves High-Speed and Quiet Autofocus Drive with "MSC Mechanism"
The "MSC (Movie and Still Compatible) mechanism" is an advanced optical design technology developed to achieve high-speed and quiet focusing with a lightweight design and a small number of lenses.
By eliminating gears that cause operating noise and employing a mechanism using a metal shaft and lead screw (screw drive) finished to sub-micron precision, the focusing lens is driven directly.
This lens employs an inner focusing system using this "MSC mechanism." Focusing is achieved by optimally controlling the movement of two small, lightweight lenses (bonded lenses).
This smooth autofocus operation allows you to enjoy comfortable shooting without stress, not only for still images but also for videos.
