Review: Impressive, and fantastic for video too - As a primes-only photographer this was my first zoom lens purchase in years. The last zoom I bought was the Panny 100-300 when I first bought my OM-D EM5 Mark 1 some years ago and I sold it soon afterwards. Back then I was only shooting pictures but now I'm shooting video almost exclusively. I'd done some reading up on zooms for video because I found I was missing out on video opportunities whilst shooting with my wide-angle primes. I realised I needed something to swap over to quickly capture a passing moment in the distance, something that my primes couldn't reach. Living and recording footage on a boat meant I needed a zoom with a good reach and was quiet too. I didn't want to spend too much on my first zoom for video as I'm still uncertain it's the way forward for most of my stuff. I'll continue to shoot with primes in the main, but I've just done some test clips on this lens and I'm impressed. I mean, really impressed. I still can't get over how Olympus can pack in such quality in a lens this cheap. OK, it's all plastic, it doesn't have that pro lens feel, but with the EM5's in-body IS the balance is good. I can zoom in to the 150mm end (300mm equivalent) and get away with handheld footage. The IQ at the 300 end is good enough for me, and I'm quite discerning. For this price it's almost not worth talking about the negatives of the lens but for the sake of this review I'll just comment that the focus ring requires quite a turn if you're focusing manually, which I tend to do with video (if you're on AF, it's quick). It's not a parfocal zoom either so you have to readjust the focus once you've zoomed in, unless you're using C-AF, in which case the auto re-focus's speed is acceptable. Although I would recommend this for video I'd be inclined to recommend this for budget-conscious photographers too. Whilst this might not be up to a Canon L lens, for the price it is incredible. As a fussy photographer who likes to pixel-peep on occasion, I'm impressed. I can't see myself spending all those extra hundreds of notes to go up to a pro zoom any time soon. As someone who used to own a full-frame Canon 5Dii and a load of L lenses, that's saying something. Review: Grabbing a bargain - Like another reviewer here, I was lucky enough to pick this lens up new for Β£119 (October 2013). Presumably a dealer offloading split kits. To call it a bargain is an understatement. This little lens - and it's in 35mm terms an 80-300mm lens, we should keep that in mind - is a cracker. More than anything, it's the lenses that make MicroFourThirds the success it is. There are the obvious "must-haves" like the Olympus 12mm f2 and 45mm f1.8, the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 and 14-45mm, but you can virtually add this little baby to that list because it's cheap and light and - oh boy! - it punches way above its weight. I checked it out on the EM5 and G5. Wide open it's a tad soft, no surprise there, but take it down a stop or two and you will get crisp useable 20" x 16" pictures. I even shot f16 @ 1/125 hand-held at max. 150mm, with excellent result (though I'd suggest f8 most of the time). Mechanically, it performs well, decently smooth with no "stiction". Manual focus is possible but at full extension I'd suggest leave it to the AF. I long since ditched my bulky, heavy SLR cameras and lenses and don't regret it. So this lens is largely plastic - so what? Unless you plan to take it to a war zone, you'll get years of service from it. Buy this lens and buy into MFT, you will be getting the best tech available today and unlike that hefty SLR you'll always want to have the camera with you. Great lens. ## Features - Ideally suited for: Travel, nature and portrait - equivalent to a 80-300 mm 35 mm lens - compact tele zoom, which is recommended as an ideal travel companion due to its design - Outstanding image quality, despite very compact design with pin-sharp images right up to the edges of the image - Nearly silent high-speed autofocus - Package contents: Lens, LC-58F lens cap, rear lens cap for Micro Four Thirds lenses (LR-2), warranty card, operating instructions ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0058G40G6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 22,687 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 207 in Camera Lenses | | Box Contents | Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40-150mm 1:4.0-5.6 R Black, Micro Four Thirds lens cap (LC-58E), Micro Four Thirds lens rear cap (LR-2), Warranty Card, Operating Instructions | | Brand Name | OM SYSTEM | | Camera Lens | 150 month | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Camera Models | Olympus OM-D & PEN Modelle, Panasonic G-Serie | | Compatible Devices | Olympus PEN | | Compatible Mountings | Micro Four Thirds | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,258) | | Exposure Control Type | Automatic | | File Format | MP4 | | Fixed Focal Length | 150 Millimetres | | Focus Type | Auto Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04545350036485 | | Image Stabilization Type | Digital | | Iso Range | True | | Item Weight | 190 Grams | | Lens Coating Description | ZERO Coating | | Lens Design | Zoom | | Lens Mount | Micro Four Thirds | | Lens Type | Telephoto | | Light Sensitivity | True | | Manufacturer | OMDJB | | Maximum Focal Length | 150 Millimeters | | Media Type | ProductImage, EnhancedContent | | Minimum Aperture | 5.6 | | Minimum Focal Length | 40 Millimeters | | Model Name | ED 40-150mm f:4.0-5.6 R | | Number of Diaphragm Blades | 7 | | Photo Filter Size | 58 Millimeters | | Real Angle Of View | 8.2 Degrees | | Shooting Modes | Photo, Video | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Video Capture Format | MP4 | | Video Capture Resolution | 4K | | Viewfinder Type | Electronic viewfinder (EVF) | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Ratio | 3.75:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** OM SYSTEM - **Camera lens description:** 150 month - **Compatible mountings:** Micro Four Thirds - **Focal length description:** 40, 150 millimeters - **Focus type:** Auto Focus - **Lens design:** Zoom - **Lens type:** Telephoto - **Lens-fixed focal length:** 150 Millimetres - **Maximum focal length:** 150 Millimeters - **Minimum focal length:** 40 Millimeters ## Images ![Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150 mm F4-5.6 Lens, Telephoto Zoom, Suitable for All MFT Cameras (Olympus OM-D & PEN Models, Panasonic G Series), Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71y-99M9-wL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this fit Olympus OM-D E-M10 camera** A: Yes, it does. I bought one for my M10 and it works very well with the camera. Very sharp lens for the price. **Q: Is this compatible with the Lumix GX7** A: Yes, In general any Micro Four Thirds lens is compatible with either Panasonic or Olympus M43 system cameras. Be aware that this lens does not have Image Stabilisation built in as do the Panasonic versions in this focal length, such as the 45-150/175/200 e.t.c. The GX7 has inbuilt stabilisation (IBIS) , which, as far as I am aware, is the only Panasonic body at present to have this feature, so you should be okay. The stabilisation inbuilt in the Panasonic lenses might be more effective than that built into the GX7, which might be worth your consideration. **Q: Will this lens fit an olympus pen lite e-pl3?** A: Absolutely yes, the epl3 uses the same m43 lens mount like any other olympus and Panasonic m43 cameras **Q: Hi I am seriously considering this lens after all the good reviews BUT I am worried about no stabilzation comments.I have a Panasonic camera Lumixg6** A: Hi. I am using this lens with a Panasonic GX7, which has built in image stabilization in the body and the results are fantastic. You will need to check if the G6 has built in image stabilization. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive, and fantastic for video too *by F***O on 28 July 2015* As a primes-only photographer this was my first zoom lens purchase in years.

Great lens. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive lens for the price *by N***E on 29 April 2019* Having used big heavy tele-zooms with my old 35mm OM system in the 80's when you had to keep shutter speeds high when hand-held to avoid camera shake, I'm amazed how good image stabilization is on today's camera/lens combinations. Attached to my PEN E-PL8, the excellent and fast autofocus and stabilization makes it easy to get excellent, sharp images. And with the advantage of compactness that M43 allows, this lens is so small and light compared to my old 35mm zooms. Thoroughly recommended and an excellent value addition to any Olympus M43 camera with kit lens. ## Frequently Bought Together - Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150 mm F4-5.6 Lens, Telephoto Zoom, Suitable for All MFT Cameras (Olympus OM-D & PEN Models, Panasonic G Series), Black - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC card, SD Card, V30 Memory Card, 4K UHD, up to 200 MB/s, SanDisk QuickFlow Technology, RescuePro Deluxe Data Recovery Software, UHS-I, Class 10, U3, V30 - Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV Micro Four Thirds System Camera Kit, 20 MP sensor, electronic viewfinder, 4K video, powerful AF, Wi-Fi, black incl.
