Frequently asked questions
How does 800mm equivalent work on MFT?
MFT has a 2x crop factor, so a 400mm MFT lens frames the same field of view as an 800mm full-frame lens. The depth of field and exposure follow MFT rules, but the reach is genuinely equivalent to an 800mm full-frame prime.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
Yes - POWER O.I.S., compatible with Dual IS 2 on Panasonic bodies (combined lens + body stabilisation).
