Lens body is nice and light (not metal body but thats okay) which is perfect for the smaller micro four thirds cameras like, EM5 series, PEN series, GH series etc. Sharpness is stellar. I would say its about as sharp as my M. Zuiko Pro lenses. Perfect lens to keep in your arsenal.

Surprising how nice this lens is, especially given the price-point*. Yes its a value built lens but the fit and finish, and photographic results it is capable of belie that. Additionally it’s lightweight which is also a plus. Exhibits responsive focusing when mounted to my Olympus Pen EPL-8 and produces tack-sharp subjects with awesome bokeh backgrounds (and foregrounds). In short I love this lens and have NO regrets about it’s purchase. *Coincidentally it falls below our “spousal app...roval required” purchase amount threshold so the CFO’s approval wasn’t even required for this bad-boy!

Versatile and Affordable

If your typical "walking-around" kit is an Olympus PEN or OM-D mounted with a standard kit zoom lens or wide-angle prime, the 40-150 is a great affordable option for a versatile two-lens set-up. Indoors or out-, this compact and lightweight telephoto zoom will help you capture all your stories.



Movie & Still Compatible Mechanism

One of this lens's most interesting features is the unique-to-Olympus Movie & Still Compatible mechanism, or MSC. This technology provides amazingly fast - and nearly silent - autofocus operation. You'll really notice the benefit when you play back your HD video and the only thing you hear is the ambient background noise in the scene you were filming; what you won't hear is the sound of the lens moving as it changes focus. With MSC and a great focal length range, you can record everything from the big game to vacation footage with ease.
