After taking over 200,000 images over two and a half years on this lens, I take an in-depth look at the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm F4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO lens, exploring its real-world performance after extensive use.

This professional super-telephoto zoom is one of the most advanced (and the most expensive) lenses in the Micro Four Thirds system, and in this video we examine its strengths, limitations, unique features and take a quick look at some cheaper alternatives.

Detailed breakdown of the lens design and build quality
Deep dive into the function switches and customisation options
Performance of the built-in 1.25x teleconverter
Use with additional external teleconverters (MC-14 & MC-20)
Image stabilisation performance for handheld shooting
Long-term handling, ergonomics, and durability
