Olympus 150-400mm f/4.5 PRO: 1000mm equivalent in one lens
The M.Zuiko 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25X IS PRO is built around a simple premise: give wildlife and sports photographers a single lens that covers the distances they actually shoot. On a Micro Four Thirds body, the 150-400mm focal range translates to 300-800mm equivalent. Flip the built-in 1.25x teleconverter and you're at 500mm f/5.6 with 1000mm equivalent reach, without touching your bag. That's a coverage spread most telephoto shooters spend two lenses and a pocket full of glass to approximate.
The constant f/4.5 aperture holds across the full zoom range, which matters when light drops at the edge of the day or you're tracking birds against an overcast sky. Built-in image stabilization adds another layer of insurance for handheld work at these focal lengths. The 95mm filter thread and included tripod collar signal this is a serious piece of kit, but Olympus designed it with handheld shooting in mind. Compared to equivalent-reach DSLR glass, the Micro Four Thirds format keeps the physical size manageable for a lens that punches this far out.
For photographers already invested in the Micro Four Thirds system, this lens represents the top of the telephoto food chain. The PRO series build standard and the integrated teleconverter make it a long-term platform than just a single focal length.
Who It's For
Wildlife photographers working in the field get a 300-800mm equivalent zoom with a 1000mm option on tap from the built-in 1.25x teleconverter, covering everything from medium-distance mammals to birds in flight without a gear swap. Sports shooters who work from fixed positions benefit from the constant f/4.5 aperture keeping exposure consistent as they zoom. Birders specifically will find the teleconverter useful for distant perched subjects where the extra reach justifies an one-stop aperture trade. Conservation photographers doing handheld work in difficult terrain get IS a tripod collar, giving them options depending on conditions.

FAQ
- What's the actual reach of this lens on a Micro Four Thirds body?
- 150-400mm becomes 300-800mm equivalent due to the 2x crop factor. Engage the built-in 1.25x teleconverter and you hit 500mm f/5.6 with 1000mm equivalent reach without swapping glass.
- Does the f/4.5 aperture stay constant across the zoom range?
- Yes. f/4.5 holds from 150mm through 400mm, which gives you consistent light gathering and shallow depth of field control across the entire focal range.
- Can you use this lens handheld at 1000mm equivalent?
- The built-in image stabilization supports handheld work at these lengths, and Olympus designed the lens with single-hand shooting in mind. Shutter speed discipline still applies, but the IS adds meaningful margin.
- What filter size does this lens use?
- 95mm, which is large but standard for super-telephoto glass. The filter thread sits at the front of the barrel.
- Does the teleconverter reduce the maximum aperture?
- Yes. Flipping the 1.25x converter in reduces the aperture from f/4.5 to f/5.6, but you keep autofocus and the constant aperture design.
- Is there a tripod collar included?
- Yes, the lens ships with a rotating tripod collar for balanced mounting on a gimbal or ball head.
- How does this compare to using two separate telephoto lenses?
- One PRO-series lens with a built-in teleconverter simplifies your kit, cuts weight compared to equivalent DSLR glass, and eliminates the dust exposure of lens swaps during critical shooting.
