Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25X IS PRO Lens


@ricohflex, it is time for you to get out of your cave and come to acknowledge that manufacturing has became global and most companies are able to maintain the same quality when manufactured overseas outside Germany or Japan etc.

Leica has already shifted part of its production to outside Germany to Portugal.
Nikon has shifted 100% of its production out of Japan to Thailand.

Why don;t you also go to the Leica and Nikon forum to bitch about their products if you feel strongly against manufacturing outside a traditionally high quality country? If not, it only shows that you are just trying to find fault with Olympus, and when you cannot find anything, you try to distort news and dig out irrelevant facts like country of manufacture?

It’s the mirrorless lens Canon 100-500mm f7.1 It’s a great lens. (I use the longest end aperture number because most will use the longest end especially birders) For birders, most will agree a brighter lens like F4 or f4.5 -5.6 has much advantage especially when pair up with 1.4x or 2x converter. In birding, there will be never too much focal length. Olympus has the 100-400 f6.3.. compare the price with this will be more fair. 150-400mmf4.5 is another level. It will cost that much.

All those lenses i mentioned will give very sharp images on their respective sensors when use properly.

For Macro shooters, this is going to be exciting.
A 200mm F2.8 - 2:1 Macro Lenses!!!!

By the way, for those of you who have not tried the Olympus 60mm macro lenses, you should!
It's 120mm equivalent, F2.8, with excellent image quality and you will not even notice it in your
camera bag as it is super tiny!

With the amount of products being announced, it is highly unlikely that JIP is making plans to scrap OMDS
if it does not perform. JIP will definitely let the new products fill the niche market of smaller mirrorless
for a few more years at least.
 

No, it’s rumoured to be a 100mm f/2.8 2:1 macro.
If you’re going to use equivalent, use all equivalent specs. If you’re going to use actual, then use all actual specs. Don’t mix and match, it doesn’t help anybody.
 

Sorry, my bad.

Yes, it is a Olympus 100mm F2.8 2:1 Macro.
