Carrying heavy telephotos for wildlife photography is no walk in the park – that's why this lens is one of my favorites (and it's $800 off)

OM System M.Zuiko 150-600mm f/5.0-6.3 IS lens, mounted to an OM System OM-1 Mark II, being held out in a top-down view in a woodland setting.

Wildlife photography is my favorite way to de-stress outdoors – except that hauling around an overly large telephoto lens isn’t exactly a walk in the park (pun intended). But that’s why out of all the lenses that I’ve tested as both a photographer and a writer, I continue to gravitate towards the OM System 150-600mm f/5.0-6.3 IS lens – a telephoto that’s currently dropped by $800.

I rarely have enough zoom when out on a photo walk at the national wildlife refuge that I’m lucky enough to live 20 minutes away from. But as a Micro Four Thirds lens, the OM System M.Zuiko 150-600mm lens is really the equivalent of a 300-1200mm zoom. That’s a lot of reach.
