OM System 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS II Hands-on Testing



We recently received the newly updated OM System 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS II lens to test from our friends at B&H Photo. We both like the original version of this lens, as it’s a lightweight (3lb) 200-800mm equivalent on micro 4/3 format cameras.



New features of the updated lens include:




* Better weather-sealing (IPX1 rated)



* Fluorine-coated front element



* Improved image stabilization



* SYNC-IS compatible with 5-axis stabilization up to 7-stops



* New lens collar




We both own the original version of this lens, so tune in to hear our thoughts about how the new one compares, and whether it’s worth upgrading.
