Digital camera reviews of Olympus 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 ED Zuiko Digital Lens for Olympus Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Fantastic tight lens.
Summary: 5 Stars
We may have a limited choice in lenses with the four thirds system, however I don't think we need so many like those canon amateurs because we have this bad boy.
I assume, like me, you purchased an Olympus with a shorter kit lens and are looking to extend your range. The focal length giving you a 30-8.2 degree field of view you can tighten up your frame even at close range;35 inches. But if you want to do macro or to come in closer, I would suggest a $10 set of macro filters.
As for distance I find it works very well. For that tree of in the distance that only looks good so far away, or the close up of hands on the reins in the passing parade you will not be disappointed.
At F/4 zoomed out wide and F5.6 zoomed all the way in this is a slower lens. That means you may get blurring or shakey-ness in less than ideal conditions. And being such a wide zoom and slow the pictures can come out softer than maybe you would desire. However as it is marketed in the standard line and says on the website "These interchangeable lenses have been developed for cost-performance and portability.The best choice for the enthusiasts and Digital SLR beginners as well:" These in-superiorities can be forgiven.
