Olympus 150-400mm PRO review by ThePhoBlographer: “and innovative wonder”

Preorders: Olympus 150-400mm lens at BHphoto, GetOlympus, Adorama.

ThePhoBlographer tested the lens and concluded:

If there were a nearly perfect lens for the OM System cameras for birding, it would be the Olympus 150-400mm f4.5 PRO. Billed for wildlife, birding, and sports, it’s an innovative lens capable of giving photographers a very high keeper rate. Combined with the OM1’s autofocusing abilities, it will be hard to miss a shot in the right conditions. Then there’s the build quality and IP durability rating this lens shares with the cameras to consider. Of course, who can forget about the built-in 1.4x teleconverter that can be activated when needed? Overall, this proves to be a fantastic lens.

We tested the Olympus 150-400mm f4.5 PRO in a variety of situations, through hikes in various forests, and on the streets of NY’s parks. Quite honestly, it impressed everyone who saw the photos it produced.
