The Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f2.8 PRO is the perfect telezoom for Olympus Micro Four Thirds shooters, even though Panasonic owners will be turned off by its lack of in-lens stabilization....

Relatively big and heavy for a micro-43, Professional price class
Olympus is making a big splash with the new Olympus 40-150mm ƒ/2.8 Pro lens. No longer are professional and enthusiast photographers beholden to their large, heavy DSLR telephoto zooms if they want a tele lens with bright apertures, rugged weather-sealed ...

This is an incredibly responsive and sharp lens. Scientifically objective tests of the lens conducted by other reviewers have produced consistently stellar results for resolution, colour and absence of aberrations. It is beautifully made and mechanically
It does not perform well in low light. Even using the focus illumination lamps on two Olympus bodies it was difficult to autofocus when the light was dim
We have taken over one hundred photos with the lens, some using an OMD E-M10 and some with an OMD E-M1. Results have been consistently excellent. And the really good news is that the Australian retail price is the same as (or even a little less) than the...
The second lens in Olympus's PRO range is every bit as good as the original M.Zuiko Digital 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO lens and complements that lens by extending the focal length range to suit sports and wildlife photographers. Owners of OM-D cameras who want a f...
Abstract: The M.Zuiko Digital ED 40–150mm F2.8 Pro covers the same picture angles as an 80–300mm lens for full frame, but in a much smaller and lighter enclosure. With a large and constant F2.8 aperture, the zoom range easily replaces almost any fixed focal length...

Buildquality and finish, Constant f/2.8 aperture, Handling (focus ring, lens hood, tripod mount ring), Picture quality (sharpness and uniformity), Little vignetting, Limited distortion, No chromatic aberration
Zoom ring could be better, A few slight lens defects
Five stars for this 40-150mm with constant f/2.8 aperture! In the end, we had very little bad to say about it: it's nearly perfect. The lens, despite its not-inconsiderable size and weight, is a great way into sport and nature photography for those using...
Abstract: When Olympus took wraps off the OM-D E-M1 back in September 2013, the manufacturer also revealed that there would be a pair of top-line pro-spec lenses arriving to support it. The first of these – the M.ZUIKO Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 arrived at the time t...
Abstract: Interchangeable lens cameras offer a lot more creative flexibility and control than smartphones and point-and-shoots. Buying a camera with swappable lenses lets you change your angle of view, and take advantage of speciality optics for macro and fish-eye...

Qualité de construction et de finition, Ouverture constante à f/2,8, Prise en main (bague de mise au point, pare-soleil, collier), Qualité optique (piqué et homogénéité), Peu de vignettage, Peu de distorsions, Aberrations chromatiques absentes
Bague de zoom perfectible, Quelques menus défauts optiques
5 étoiles pour ce 40-150 mm f/2,8 constant ! Au final, nous n'avons pas grand-chose à lui reprocher : il est presque parfait. L'objectif, malgré un poids et un encombrement certains, ouvre la porte aux photos de sport et animalières pour les utilisateurs...
