Overview

A high-performance 2x teleconverter
that expands the realms of shooting

The MC-20 is a high-performance teleconverter lens that utilises the high optical performance of the master lens while doubling the focal length. When paired with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO, up to 1200mm (35mm equivalent) super-telephoto shooting is possible along with super-telephoto macro shooting at a maximum image magnification of 0.96x (35mm equivalent). The compact and lightweight, 150-gram teleconverter body features a dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof design for peace of mind when shooting in the most punishing environments.

Key Features:

  • Super-telephoto shooting up to 1200mm (35mm equivalent)
  • Super-telephoto macro shooting up to 0.96x (35mm equivalent)
  • Lens configuration that suppresses aberrations and ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) Coating for superb image quality
  • Fast AF lets you capture the exact intended moment
  • Powerful image stabilisation
  • Amazing mobility at only 150g
  • Highly reliable dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof construction
  • A sophisticated integrated design

This teleconverter doubles the focal length of the master lens, and features dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof (-10°C) professional weatherproof construction for outstanding optical performance ideal for even the most severe environmental conditions. By doubling the maximum shooting magnification of the master lens, this teleconverter further expands the field of photography in super telephoto macro shooting. This product is compatible with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F2.8 PRO and M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO, as well as the M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm F4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO, which is currently under development.

Super Telephoto and Super Telephoto Macro Shooting

Just like the M.Zuiko Digital 1.4x Teleconverter MC-14, the M.Zuiko Digital 2x Teleconverter MC-20 maintains the excellent imaging performance of the master lens while doubling the focal length, making it possible to capture intense shots of subjects that are usually difficult to approach, including small birds and animals. When attached to the M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO, handheld super telephoto shooting at 1200mm equivalent (35mm equivalent) is possible.

When attached to the M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO, the MC-20 allows the user to shoot near actual size at 0.96x (35mm equivalent) from the maximum shooting magnification of 0.48x. With performance like this, the photographer can capture close-up photos from far away without disturbing subjects that are sensitive to people, such as insects. Utilizing Focus Stacking results in photos that are in focus across the entire image, even on super telephoto lenses, which tend to have a shallow depth of field.

Outstanding Optical Performance

A 9-element, 4-group lens construction with an HR lens helps suppress various types of aberrations including chromatic aberration while maintaining the excellent optical performance of the master lens to double the focal length. The design also helps prevent ghosts and flares for superb image performance, thanks to ZERO coating.

Reliability to Capture the Moment

The master lens is designed to deliver excellent performance and dependable reliability, even when an Olympus teleconverter is attached. Virtually no loss in autofocus speed makes it possible to capture split-second photo opportunities using FAST AF performance. The dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof professional weatherproof construction, coupled with powerful 5-axis image stabilization and FAST AF ensures that the user captures their shot even in the most severe environments.

It’s a good teleconverter lens but it doesn’t pare that good with my Olympus 100-400mm because the aperture is at f/13 when full extended.
but It might be suited with future lens purchases.

Build quality not great
I have this and the 1.4 version. Great image quality and the extra reach is useful. Be warned however both have failed on me as the screws / bolts are not very sturdy in real life professional use. I had the 1.4 sent away to Olympus and paid for the repair outside of warranty. I bought 2X version and the screws sheered off on my second use. I still have to get this repaired under warranty. So image great but build quality questionable

Another Quality Item from Olypus
It's too bad this item only works on two lenses, and it's not inexpensive, but it is the same quality as all the other gear Olympus makes.

I absolutely require weather resistance, and this teleconverter has that. It doubles the reach of my 40-150 Pro lens, making it much more versatile.

This was brought in quickly for me by Vistek, so I was very happy with all aspects of my purchase.
