Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm F5.0-6.3 IS

Announced in 2020, this Micro Four Thirds super-telephoto zoom covers a 200–800 mm full-frame-equivalent field of view. It is suited to birds, wildlife and other distant subjects; optional MC-14 and MC-20 teleconverters extend its reach.

The lens combines optical stabilization with dust- and splash-resistant construction. It focuses as close as 1.3 m throughout the zoom range and reaches 0.29× magnification at 400 mm, making it useful for close-ups of small subjects as well.
