Review: Construction Materials reflects the Price, but definitely worth it - This affordable lens is definitely worth it. Yes is all made of plastic so the construction feels somewhat fragile but good enough to work with if you’re careful working with it. The images are clear and for what it is, I can’t believe I get this quality for this price. I’m a self-taught Photographer, learned from Internet research and books from the local library. So I’m far from a professional but, I can defend myself. I have a Panasonic Lumix G85 and it’s a great budget camera as well. I love taking Pictures around plus I have a Reef tank and it takes nice pictures of my Coral. Take a look at the pics and you’ll see what I mean. (The Corals and Moon are edited and cropped, the rest are pure RAW files) For the price you just can’t go wrong with this affordable lens. But as stated, it’s all made of plastic and I assume it’s not water resistant so if you want it to last, take care of it, and it shall last you years. I also purchased an Olympus Hood to go with it. (ASIN B009GFY786) and fits perfectly. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Review: A lens with a remarkable price/quality point - The M Zuiko 40-150mm f/4-5.6 is everything the most reputable on-line reviewers say it is: a very light and small medium-length zoom with a remarkable performance for an incredible price. The lens is made of plastic but handling it gives a sense of a fine construction with tight tolerances and no looseness. Both rings operate quite smoothly and there is no zoom creep. Focusing on the EM5II is silent, quick, and assertive even indoors (with static subjects). I tested it for optical performance with a very detailed subject - one of my wife's jewelry creations - all open and closed down 1 and 2 stops at 40mm, 70mm and 150mm. I processed the Raw files in PS CS6 applying my typical white point, clarity and sharpening to all. The results are very statisfying. In conclusion, this is a budget lens that is definitively worth considering for its unique price/quality point. I will add a couple of lines of comments as soon as I take the lens out to photograph birds in action. A word of caution about this and other telephoto lenses negative reviews. The use of a 300mm lens is already demanding in terms of technique. Image stabilization takes only care of camera shake but moving subjects require very short exposures to avoid blur. If the writer does not specify if they are shooting Raw or jpegs there is little value in their conclusions. Additionally, you don't know if they know how to properly process the Raw files and/or what's the setting for in-camera sharpening in jpeg. Lastly, many people shoot on a tripod without turning off image stabilization (a must). 11/16/16 addendum: I am replacing the older pictures with new ones of Echo Bay in New Rochelle, NY, just before and with the latest super moon. All pics are from Raw files developed in PS 6 with the same treatment.

If you are interested in macro, Olympus has 2 lenses, a) M.Zuiko ED 60mm f2.8 Macro (max 1:1) and b) M.Zuiko ED 12~50mm (max 1:0.7) 8"~20". Hope this clarifies. You may check out close up pictures taken with the M.Zuiko 40~150mm at my Flickr link http://www.flickr.com/photos/anthonytsyong/ **Q: Do you prefer a kit lens+40-150 zoom or a 14-150 all in one zoom? ($300 v.s. $500) How about the image quality?** A: The way you ask the question makes it a little difficult to answer. Which kit lens are you thinking of? If you're thinking of the older 12-50 f3.5-6.3, and you're asking if THAT lens + the 14-150 makes a better kit than the 14-150 super zoom, well, that's hard to say. It's a close call. I would personally still have gone with the two-lens combination, partly because I dislike super zooms. Optically, they may be okay to good, but they're never very good or great, and they're never fast, either. And it has always seemed to me that a large part of the point of buying an interchangeable lens camera is to be able to buy really good, specialized lenses and then change them as necessary. Buying an ILC and sticking a super zoom on it, to me, makes no sense. You'd be better off buying a top-of-the line compact camera with a large zoom range. But I said this was a close call, because the 14-150 looks like a good super zoom, as super zooms go: My guess is it's as good as the 12-50 or the 40-150 optically and only slightly slower at the wide end.On the other hand if you're thinking about the newer 12-40 f2.8 "kit lens", then the answer is much easier: I'd prefer to have the 12-40 f2.8 *even if that was the only lens I could get.* That plus the 40-150 would be a very nice combination. Good luck with your choice. **Q: can you tell me if this lens is the same as a m.zuiko 40-150mm f4.0-5.6 EDR (your model finishes with R only)** A: You might try asking Olympus directly. I had the following exchange with Olympus a couple months ago -- not sure if this comparison is the same as the one you want:"Thank you for contacting Olympus Technical Support.The "R" or revised version of the lens is the newest one, the difference ismainly cosmetic, as the look of the barrel has been changed to better matchthe look of the newer PEN and OM-D Cameras. Other than that, the opticalquality and formula of the lens is the same as the older version.Best Regards,Olympus Technical SupportOlympus Imaging America Inc.Toll Free Technical Support Hotline 1-888-553-4448 06/04/2013 05:37 SubjectCategory: Digital CamerasModel: M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40-150 mm f4.0-5.6 RQuestion: What is the difference between this lens (with R) and the samelens without R? Is the one with "R" new and improved? Why would one buyone and not the other? Your special starting June 9 is for the onewithhout the "R" only? I looked at your comparison page, but it does notexplain. I plan to buy one. **Q: Is it compatible with the OM-D E-10 olympus?** A: Absolutely, is compatible with all the Olympus OMD line (EM-5, EM-1 and EM-10) as well as all the Pen camera bodies and also the Panasonic line. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Construction Materials reflects the Price, but definitely worth it *by R***I on April 25, 2020* This affordable lens is definitely worth it.

Equivalent to an 80 - 300mm on a standard 35mm/full-frame. Pros: Relatively inexpensive ($99), smooth focus and zoom controls. Fast focus on bright scenes. Good contrast and color rendition. Sharp enough for many applications with reasonable bokeh at low F. The more I use it the more I am happily surprised with the images. Overall I think the optics are first rate for a lens in this price range. Lightweight. Cons: Most of these are expected - slow or no focus in low contrast/dark shots. While < 80mm gave rapid focus (< 0.25 sec) focus was slow and often got confused at max focal lengths. The entire assembly is plastic - at the very least I would have expected the MFT mount that mates with the camera to be metal. This was probably the most disappointing feature for me as I question how many times the lens can be mounted /dismounted before something breaks. Finally, why is the filter ring 58mm (e.g. expensive) while the front optic is only 34mm? Other things to be aware of: At 150mm the lens physically extends out to about twice the length of the 40mm setting, so with the lens hood on this lens is huge (I am used to small primes) - it is light but your camera will not be "compact" with this lens on it. Comments for future improvements: I hope Oly is listening :). This would be an extremely good lens as a straight F4 (maybe 40-120mm F4). Would be REALLY REALLY nice if it were in a metal body - or at the very least, a metal baseplate/mount (weather sealed would be even better). Finally if the filter ring could be made smaller it would keep costs low. Perhaps an RII for a little more $ will include these improvements?
