A telephoto lens makes a photographic subject appear closer than it actually is. This can be ideal for photographers who are unable to be close to their subjects either due to physical constraints or out of concern for safety. These lenses also serve an artistic purpose and are remarkable at creating contrasting focuses between foreground and background.
Additionally, with a minimum focusing distance of 4.27' and a 0.57x equivalent maximum magnification this lens maximizes the use of its IS system for an outstanding telemacro performance, opening a world of possibilities when it comes to wildlife photography.
- When utilizing the MC-20 2x teleconverter, the lens is able to reach up to an impressive 1600mm.
- Reliable all-weather durability thanks to its IPX1 rating, dust-resistant design, and fluorine-coated front element.
- Advanced optics feature four extra-low dispersion lenses, two super-high refractive index lenses, and two high refractive index lenses.
- ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating minimizes ghosting and flares, ensuring clarity even in challenging backlit conditions.
