Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150 mm F2.8 PRO Lens, Telephoto Zoom, Suitable for All MFT Cameras (Olympus OM-D & PEN Models, Panasonic G Series), Black

Product Information

Leaving the closest shooting distance unchanged, the maximum shooting magnification is increased to 0. I should also note framing a portrait at 300mm equivalent is not the easiest thing to achieve as you’ll be positioned quite far from your subject, but the example below does at least show the 40-150mm can deliver significant blurring if that’s the thing you desire. It handles quickly, shrugs-off inclement weather, and delivers very sharp and high contrast images right into the corners even at the maximum aperture. for professional use, we have achieved a stable center of gravity and a total length that remains unchanged during zooming.

With a minimum focus distance of just 70cm at all focal lengths, a dedicated Fn button, manual focus clutch and a sliding, protective lens hood, the new 40-150mm f/2. Sensor design including on chip post processing and lens transmission (the only zoom lens that has a transmission close to the actual f stop 2. It can be adjusted to any position by loosening the locking screw with your fingers, rotating the collar, then re-tightening it.

While at infinity, the diagonal angle of view is essentially the same as with any other 300mm equivalent optic, there is a marked difference at shorter focus distances. So even if it isn’t quite DSLR-level performance in some situations—and in static situations it can be better than DSLR-level performance—it’s state-of-the-art for m4/3.

Fast and easy trade in service ensures your old gear is collected efficiently and you are paid quickly!The balance of the finance agreement is payable directly to Novuna Consumer Finance in equal monthly instalments by monthly direct debit. As you’d expect there’s a rotating tripod collar, and that collar can be removed if you’re going to handhold the lens. I will probably post some more samples of both the 40-150 +MC-20 and the 50-200 + EC-14 in the coming days.

then took a second shot from the same position with the 40-150mm adjusted to deliver the same coverage at its maximum aperture of f2. Panasonic body owners need to know that this lens does not have image stabilization; it relies on the camera body to stabilize shots. This is still a really good lens in terms of C-AF use, but there I did often see some hunting that slowed the “snap” down to a “slurp. But on the E-M1 the lens is very comfortable and a near perfect match for a moderately long telephoto zoom. Engineered to extremely high standards incorporating fast AF, bright constant aperture and lightweight.

They go together as a set perfectly and the look and rendering of images is virtually identical to my eyes. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. Please note that, due to calculations, your monthly repayment may differ very slightly from what you were expecting. If the action is distant then you will get a few in focus, but if it approaches close enough to fill the frame you may become frustrated.

After updating the EM1 firmware though, the 40-150mm felt a little faster and more confident overall. I didn’t find any particular issues with the out of focus areas, but they also weren’t anything that would get me excited about the bokeh characteristics. That’s the end of my zoom versus prime portrait examples, but not the end of the story, as the 40-150mm of course can extend much further. In good light you will even find the C-AF performance respectable, if not quite on a par with a pro SLR.So if you have both of these lenses you’ve got the field covered from a 24mm wide angle up to a 300mm telephoto with a constant f2. With an equivalent focal range of 80-300mm and a bright constant aperture this model is ideal for wildlife, sports and action photographers and can be paired with thither the Olympus M. This is never ideal for lens testing, but I’ve been doing it long enough to tell good detail rendition from bad in a range of situations. We were hard pressed to find any evidence of CA in the images – these are the absolute worst examples we were able to dig up. When I go out shooting and take a small bag w/ two cameras, I almost always take the 50-150 on my EM1-II and a 24-105 on my Sony A9.
