Olympus M. 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 R Zoom Lens (Black) for Olympus Micro 4/3 Cameras

Worthy, one of the best purchase made in Amazon in terms of price to product.

Superlative performance relative to the price, almost silent focusing rarely misses focus. Reasonable sharpness at both ends and works without extending the lens at 40mm... Premium feeling plastic body, good flare resistance. It could be better if Olympus included a lens hood... F4-5.6 aperture makes it almost unusable in the twilight or for shooting kids indoors, but you already know this don't you?

First point, about price - Seller is taking exactly the MRP printed on the packet - I guess, a little research and bargain in local market, if you have time, can save your money. The lense deserves a 5 star rating but I deducted 1 star for the seller. Now, about the lense - I'm using it on lumix g7 as the lense is compatible with the cam. It's working fine and giving good enough pics for a beginner like me. Funny part is when you zoom it, the lense comes out - it makes the lense look but cheap as well. But looking at the price range, it's bearable. For beginners, it's a perfect second lense.

The lens came in good condition, and has great projection of colours, gives a nice cinematic look, but has slight distortion at the same time. Great for photography and portrait photos. Functionally very smooth (although it fits slightly tight to my lumix g7 compared to the default lens) which is normal. Really good, highly recommend

Its very good

Does a decent job for the given price! Worth a buy!

Good lens for day to day use.

Is it ok for canon 1300d

Ultimately I did want to buy the Canon 24-105mm lens but my budget just couldn't allow for that at this time. So I went for this one because I have a native Micro 4/3 camera but also an adaptor to fit the canon one. Other than this lens being a bit noisy (due to the lowest aperture number being 4) it's a great sharp little beast that is epic for the price point. I've been able to get nice close up shots from quite far away which is perfect for the kind of environment I often find myself shooting videos in. One bad thing about the lens though is the material it's made out out. It's understandable that it's plastic, they have to bring the price down somehow! But it feels quite flimsy and sometimes I'm scared I'll snap the thing in half without really trying to. But otherwise it's a really great budget lens!

JUST BUY IT.

und das kann man an dem Kunststoffbajonett und dem sehr geringen Gewicht festmachen, doch die Bildqualität überrascht und hätte ich mir so nicht erwartet. Das Objektiv wurde zu meiner OMD 10/3 als Ergänzung zum Standardzoom (14-42 EZ) gekauft, um doch ein bisschen in den Telebereich vorstoßen zu können und angesichts des Preises gbit's da einfach keine Kritikpunkte und die Bildqualität übertrifft den Preis bei weitem. Der Fokus findet zwar nicht immer gleich (Ausnahme!) den Punkt und auch die Bildstabilisierung ist bei einer OMD 1X besser, doch liegt das an der Kamera und nicht an dem Objektiv. Ich kann für dieses Objektiv eine unbedingte Empfehlung aussprechen, passt an die OMD 10 wie angegossen und es macht Spaß, mit dieser leichtgewichtigen Ausrüstung herumzulaufen, einfach "d'rauf-los-zu-knipsen" und ich möchte die Kombi OMD 10/3, 14/42 EZ und 40-150 nicht mehr missen. Anbei einige Beispielbilder, die mit der OMD 10/3 und dem 40/150er im eigenen Garten aufgenommen wurden und natürlich freihändig, tw. an der Naheinstellungsgrenze und auch mit der vollen Brennweite. Über das Pro-Objektiv, 40-150 mm, F2,8 kann man viele Seiten schreiben, die Bildqualität ist auch überragend und auch die Freistellung bei 150 mm und F2,8 genauso überragend, doch die wirklichen Sensationen lauern im Verborgenen und dieses preisgünstige Objektiv ist so eine kleine Sensation. Einige tadellose A-4-Ausdrucke mit diesem Objektiv im Vergleich zum 40/150er-Pro unterstreichen das und ich musste da schon genau schauen, um den Unterschied zu erkennen, wobei aber das Bild mit diesem "Billigheimer" in einem Zehntel der Zeit im Kasten war. Ein Highlight!

Lo compre de segunda mano aquí en Amazon para una Lumix gh5 y va perfecto como opción para tener un primer tele y si no te quieres gastar un pastón lo veo ideal

Purchased this to use with my EM5 MkII. As mentioned in other reviews, the lens feels light in the hand which conveys a sort of cheapness to it, but not in such a way that I'm concerned about it's long term durability. The zoom mechanism is not super smooth, but again, at this price point some sacrifices have to be made. The lens itself produces great images through the range from 40-100mm. As others have noted, I also found some drop in sharpness from 100-150, but for casual shooters this really isn't a problem, but it will be a problem for pixel peepers. I've purchased this to supplement my 12-40mm pro lens. Considering that the pro option for the 40-150mm range is closer to $1700 pre tax, this lens really does get 80% of the job done at less than 10% of the cost. Very happy with this great value lens - it's a no frills but effective solution if you need something in for this range.
