Olympus 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 ED Zuiko Digital Lens Review
September 14th, 2009
Olympus 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 ED Zuiko Digital Lens Review from Jose A Tierno Carace. Good telephoto lens, but no macro, I bought this lens to complement the stock 14-42 that came with my Olympus e420. I actually paid $101 for it at a local camera store, when Amazon was asking $300 for it (now it is down to $128).
Main reason I bought it was to get some reasonable tele-power for my camera, and the price certainly was right.
While it is a very decent lens for objects 2 meters and out, it lacks macro capabilities. I do mostly nature shots, and find myself constantly switching lenses in places where I would hate to see anything drop to the muddy floor.
At 150, power is pretty good for perspective shots, but not nearly strong enough for shooting birds or wildlife. Looks like I’ll be purchasing more glass in the near future, something like a pancake 12-600 tele-macro with automatic IR to UV programmable filtering 8^)
