OM SYSTEMM.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150 F4.0 PRO; World’s Most Compact and Lightweight Telephoto Zoom* black

What do I like, this F4 lens comes in such a small package.This OM System (previously Olympus) lens is a great all rounder, especially for travel or just wondering around.with its constant F4, I can use this in less lit conditions, in such a light package.The hood twists on and snaps into place and to take it iff you press a button on its side and twist off.The lens has no buttons on it, but does have manual focus ring, clean and minimalistic.You twist the barrel to the left to start using it, it has markings on it from 40 to 150, but in most cases you can see your distance in the view finder or back screen.It focuses really well, quite quick, it works with stacking on appropriate Olympus / OM bodies.Great for walking around as the weight is so little for such a lens and I find the clarity of its images are very good. It works well with the OM 1 MKii, with the cameras stability helping keeping hand held shots stable.Was it a worthwhile buy, yes, taking into account the deal on Amazon at the time I got it (these change regularly).The lens also works well with the digital converter built into the camera to extend its reach even further when needed, depending on light etc.The lens is also weather sealed with an appropriate body and I can say works well at minus 2C ( so far that's as cold, it has been using it).Would I recommend this lens if asked, yes I would as a lovely travel lens, which can help produce clear images.It will be used a lot during these short winter days.

Fabulous lens!Sharp, well built, amazing quality for the price.Perfect partner for the 12-45 f4 Pro lens.I use it on an OM-5 and it’s big but not too big on the camera.Very happy with it. Excellent value in the Black Friday sale.Note: Amazon no longer participates in the OM Systems cashback promotions.

This lens is very fiiting for the latest incarnation of the M.Zuiko PRO range of excellent quality, but in a compact size appropriate for the M4/3 format.Very much a pro lens in its specification and actual performance. Would make an ideal partner for the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO.One slight niggle - an annoying little button arrangement on the lens hood is quite unnesseccary, and very fiddly in use!

I use this lens more than any other. I use it for insects mostly as I can stand back and take a shot without disturbing the insect going about its business and it takes quite a good quality photo as long as there is light on the subject. As i use this as a field camera sometimes i have to use the internal flash in darker conditions or an extra light source as the lens starts from f4 aperture. I have taken off a star rating as the lock system on the lens is pretty hard to get used to and also the aperture of f4 would like to see a lower aperture lens of this size, weight and quality in the future. The internal zoom was strange to get used to at first but i see it as a good thing now I am used to it. A straightforward lens overall which is of good quality construction and picture quality

This is a brilliant lens and I got it at a brilliant price.

I wasn't sure about buying this lens as I already have the 40-150mm F/2.8 pro and the 40-150mm F/4-5.6 but I was wrong! Not only is it small and light (barely noticeable change from the F/4-5.6) but it is much sharper than both my copies of the F/2.8 pro! It is great for near macro (flowers, etc.) and brings out fantastic smooth bokeh. The twist-to-extend operation feels quite natural to me. This lens is all what Micro 4/3 should be: small, light with fantastic optics.

Bought this lens to use with my OM5 and it never disappoints. Superb autofocus and very versatile telephoto lens. Hand held use is fantastic and no need for a tripod even though it’s a fairly large lens when extended. Simply superb.

Great lens for a wide range of photography, quality is amazing, surprisingly excellent for close up shots.Highly recommended.
