M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 R Lens (Black) by Olympus
The zoom range of the lens is quite good in practicable shooting situations, however the reletave apature of f4 is quite slow. in full frame 35mm size (24x36mm) it is equivelent to approx 80mm to 300mm, an ideal and very usefull lens apature would be f2 across the zoom range Jerry Creaney D.O.P MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA

Comments about Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 R Lens (Black):
A good value, light weight telephoto zoom which I purchased specifically for travel.
Very pleased with the plastic construction, although the filter thread is easily cross-threaded. Not a problem if you use a prophylactic filter, but if you don't you'll have to be careful.
Images are nice and sharp, especially at f/5.6-8, and night/low light performance is quite acceptable on my E-P3.
Focus can hunt a little at times, but using a single AF target (my home AF setting) to lock focus and then recomposing eliminates the issue.
Very pleased with this lens.

I purchased this lens to use on vacation. It allows me to get up and close to those shots that were distant using the 14-42 lens. The pictures are very sharp and the lens responds very quickly.
