The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 IS II Lens is a high-performance super-telephoto zoom for bird, wildlife and nature photographers. With a classic 100-400mm zoom range (equivalent to 200-800mm on a full-frame system), this micro four thirds lens delivers incredible reach in a lightweight, portable form. Its optical design includes 21 elements in 15 groups, featuring 4 ED, 2 HR, and 2 Super HR lenses, ensuring great image quality throughout the zoom range, especially considering the accessible price point.
This second-generation model from OM System adds key updates, including significantly improved 7EV Steps Sync IS with compatible MFT cameras, for sharper handheld shots. Additionally, OM System has incorporated a fluorine coating on the front element to repel dust, water, and dirt.

OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 IS II Lens in More Detail
Impressive Telephoto Reach
The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 IS II Lens delivers an equivalent full-frame focal length range of 200-800mm, offering remarkable versatility for capturing wildlife, birds, and distant subjects. Pair it with MC-14 or MC-20 teleconverters, and the reach extends to an incredible 1600mm, which is ideal for shooting elusive or far-away subjects with stunning detail. The lens maintains high optical quality across its zoom range, thanks to its precision-engineered optics of 21 elements in 15 groups, including 4 ED, 2 HR, and 2 Super HR lenses.
When the 1.4x TC is mounted the lens achieves 280-1120mm and with the 2.0x TC the range increases to a staggering 400-1600mm.
Stabilisation and Optical Quality
The improved 7EV Steps Sync IS with a compatible camera provides exceptional stabilisation for handheld shooting, even at extreme focal lengths, when paired with an OM System body such as the OM-1 Mark II. Additionally, the lens features a built-in stabilisation mechanism, delivering up to 4.5 stops of compensation on supported camera bodies. OM System’s ZERO coating reduces flare and ghosting, enhancing image clarity and contrast, even in challenging back lighting conditions.
Durability and Practicality
This lens is intended for outdoor environments, and features a splash-proof and dust-proof IPX1 rating, which provides more reliable performance in tough conditions when used with a weather-sealed OM System body.
A fluorine coating on the front element also helps to repel dust, water, and dirt, making cleaning easier during outdoor shoots when a lens naturally picks up debris. Despite its advanced features, the mark 2 M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 IS II remains compact, measuring 205.6mm long and weighing 1,125g without the tripod adapter, ensuring it is easy to handle and carry to bird hides and wildlife destinations.
Another benefit of this super-tele zoom is the compact 72mm lens filter thread, enabling cost-effective filters such as a circular polariser, UV protector or Variable ND filter to be added when required.
