Does the OM System M.Zuiko 150-600mm f/5-6.3 IS take a teleconverter?
2 teleconverters are supported. A teleconverter multiplies the focal length and costs you light — and on a crop body the framing multiplies again.
Both converters are supported and both stay usable: 210-840mm at f/7.1-9 with the 1.4x, 300-1200mm at f/10-13 with the 2x. On a lens this fast the 2x is the unusual case of a 2x that does not cost you autofocus.

Compatibility sourced from the manufacturers' own published teleconverter compatibility statements (manufacturer teleconverter compatibility statements (Sony, Canon USA, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sigma, Panasonic, OM System) — each row carries its own source URL) and verified 2026-08-29. Reach and aperture figures are computed from the lens's own published focal length and maximum aperture — a 1.4x multiplies focal length by 1.4 and costs 1 stop; a 2x multiplies by 2 and costs 2 stops. Lenses whose compatibility we could not verify from a manufacturer statement are omitted rather than guessed. Methodology
