After two hands-on videos , we can finally share a first impressions from the field about the highly anticipated 40-150mm PRO zoom lens . We received a sample to test a few days ago and I used it the very same night for a contemporary dance show.
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 build quality and compatibility with...
The Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f2.8 PRO ($1,499.99) is a serious lens. It covers a longer telephoto zoom range then the standard pro 70-200mm zooms when paired with a Micro Four Thirds camera, and is incredibly sharp from edge-to-edge throughout the entirety of its range, even at f/2.8.
