Product Review
When my"therapist" at the local camera shop 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 couple of test shots against the superb Olympus 14-54. The 40-150 performed beautifully, it is nice and sharp, and nothing I could do produced any fringing. The edges are a lot sharp enough, I just kept muttering WOW. Concentrate and zoom seem on a par using the 14-54: smooth and fast. Becoming 4.0-5.6 I guess there's not a complete lot of glass in there so the lens is quite light. That may be an benefit when you require an all-purpose, compact, walk-around/travel lens. This can be quick becoming mine. 1 note: it has a plastic mounting flange, but the common create good quality is solid. It doesn't come using a fancy case. I think it is the top $100 I ever spent on camera equipment! (More...)
