 Great Bang for Buck! November 22, 2008

When my"therapist" at the local camera store told me he could sell me this lens for $100 I thought, "It's Olympus, how bad could it be?" So I bought it and took some time to set up a few test shots against the superb Olympus 14-54. The 40-150 performed beautifully, it's nice and sharp, and nothing I could do produced any fringing. The edges are plenty sharp enough, I just kept muttering WOW.
Focus and zoom seem on a par with the 14-54: smooth and fast.
Being 4.0-5.6 I guess there's not a whole lot of glass in there so the lens is very light. That can be an advantage when you need an all-purpose, compact, walk-around/travel lens. This is fast becoming mine.
One note: it has a plastic mounting flange, but the general build quality is solid. It doesn't come with a fancy case.
I believe it's the best $100 I ever spent on camera equipment!

This is an excellent zoom lens for the price. If you have a 4/3 body, then this is a must. At this price, size, weight, value and quality, you should just buy this lens. It can produce sharp images.

Highly recomend this for anyone with a olympus. Used it at a football game and got some great action shots even across the field. This was my first SLR so took a little getting used to it but well worth it.

I had just bought an Olympus e-520 with the kit lens and I purched this lens to go along with it. I was looking between this one and the 300mm one and I read a different review from someone else about how the 300mm is to strong, and im sure he was right, because the minimum on this lens is 40mm and still that is a little too much zoom, so over all if your looking for a nice zoom lens but don't want to go overboard this is your lens. I also take great pictures for not being top of the line, but the pictures came out nice and crisp and crystal clear.

For the money, this is a fantastic lens. It focuses fast, the images are sharp in the proper range, and it is very compact for what it is. The only drawback is that it is an F/4 rather than a F/3.5 like the previous generation of this lens.
